The Department of Life Sciences Communication (LSC) is very happy to be
hosting the 2015 Conference of the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences (APLS).
We want to welcome everyone to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus — what
a beautiful place to be in this fall season.
LSC’s mission aligns extremely well with the goals of APLS and we are therefore
looking forward to hearing APLS presentations. LCS research, teaching, and outreach
focus on both applied and theoretical communication processes for issues in agriculture
and the life sciences. Our graduate programs, both at the Master’s and PhD levels, as well
as our Ph.D. minor in science communication, are among the best in the world.
As this year’s theme highlights, debates about controversial scientific topics do
not take place in a vacuum. Instead, they play out in an ever-evolving media and political
sphere, raising many ethical, political, and societal questions. By combining science,
communication, and political science, maybe we can start to find answers.
Again, welcome to the beautiful UW-Madison campus and Union South. We
hope you enjoy your time here. We are glad each of you is here to learn with us.
Sincerely,
Dominique Brossard, Ph.D. Professor & Department Chair Department of Life Sciences Communication University of Wisconsin-Madison

Paper and Round Table Abstracts (alphabetical by first author’s last name)
“This Nation’s Major Cities are Unprepared for the Hostile Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction”
Carl Adrianopoli U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
With minor exceptions, the nation’s largest cities do not have substantial systems to prevent or to realistically minimize the risk posed by Chemical, Biologic, Radiologic, Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Reputable damage estimates from the detonation of a 10 K, Improvised Nuclear Device (IND) reach 200,000 or many more deaths. Cost estimates have ranged from $1 to $5 trillion in direct infrastructure-related as well as indirect, cascading losses. Systems in place are often minimal and piecemeal. In fairness, there have been many diverse and effective prevention initiatives and the beginnings of others. What is lacking is a layered, integrated, federal-state-local program. Some cities, such as New York City, and some past programs such as the now lapsed, Metropolitan Medical Response Systems (MMRS) have included key elements of such a program. Elements would include locally available, distilled, and pointed national intelligence aggregated at the National Security Agency level. It would also contain structured participation by “ground level” urban agencies to include city planning, streets and sanitation, transportation, emergency management and public health. Even highly accurate intelligence (when existing) must be augmented with effective, physical systems on the ground, because CBRNE events occur on the ground. Despite the almost unimaginable damage estimates, there remains a strong federal emphasis on responding to, not preventing such attacks. And of course legal, ethical, political and cost constraints would be significant.
“Collective Interest in a Democratic System in African Countries”
John Amankwah Mount St. Joseph University [email protected]
The last fifty years serve as a watershed for many African countries as they attained independence from their colonial regimes. The euphoric attempt to resemble their former colonial administrators drove many of the newly independent countries to establish the practice of democracy in their respective countries. By 1969 almost all the sub-Saharan countries had established either a representative government, direct form of democracy or a parliamentary form of democracy. The problem of this newly borrowed form of government came with its demands─ civic responsibilities. The artificial boundaries drawn by the colonial regimes to create new countries had resulted in polyenthnic entities where tribalism became a potent force for ethnic wars and struggle for political power. Presently, many Africans consider their tribe as their nation and claim their identity from their ethnicity. I argue that the practice of democracy on the continent of Africa cannot gain any momentum because of the struggle for tribal power unless the various governments infuse a sense of discipline through a proper political infrastructure that will inculcate a sense of collective interest in a democratic system. Further, the
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 2
blatant institutionalization of corruption must be traced to ethnic identity which demands nepotism and questionable payments to promote ethnic identification so that a political remedy can be found.
“The New Media, Evolution, Worldview and Polarized Politics: Content and Contextual Comparisons”
Enoch Antwi Daymar College
The purpose of this study is to examine contextual differences of the evolution of the new media and worldview theories and analyze the contribution the theories make to the understanding of polarized politics in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The paper examines the extent the domains of the theories overlap, and looks at the motivation of the media to create a scientific worldview using natural selection, espoused culture or ethical perspective. According to Biagi (2012), no institution as sizeable and influential as the new mass media can escape involvement with government and politics. However, classified search of truth violations against the new media such as speculative journalism, fabrication, misleading headlines, unsubstantiated allegations, biased coverage, propaganda, denial of right to reply, invasion of privacy, break of confidentiality, harmful news-gathering practices, obscenity and suppression of news leads to polarized politics. It is suggested that scientific media worldview leads to a conservational generative media culture, while the deconstructing truth perspective leads to an empowered dynamic media culture. The paper also addresses the five political theories that describe how world media operates: (a) The Soviet Theory, (b) the Authoritarian Theory, (c) The Libertarian Theory, (d) The Social Responsibility Theory, and (e) The Developmental Theory. Since the way a country’s political system is organized affects the worldview of how the media in the country operates, it is suggested that high change environments require the empowered dynamic media culture, while more media static environments are better served by conservational generative culture.
“Candidates’ Smiles and Winning District Seats: Evidence from the 2015 Local Elections in Japan”
Masahiko Asano Takushoku University
Dennis P. Patterson Texas Tech University
[email protected] Whether or not a “thin slice” of information on a candidate, such as smile on a photo, influences the election outcome for that candidate has become an increasingly interesting question in the area of electoral politics. Existing research has found a strong relationship between a candidate’s appearance and the vote share received by that candidate. However, almost all existing scholarship on this relationship is characterized by a measurement problem, specifically, the problem of objectivity. The reference here is to the fact that previous studies have relied on a “raters’ estimate,” but thanks to a recent technological breakthrough in automated facial recognition, objective face measurements are now possible. Taking advantage of this technology, we analyzed the latest (2015) local election
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 3
outcomes in Japan and found that a candidate’s smile matters in winning a seat but that this effect diminishes as the number of candidates running in a district election increases.
“Inequity Aversion and Virtue Ethics”
Kenneth C. Blanchard Northern State University [email protected]
Recent evidence strongly supports the hypothesis that inequity aversion is an evolved psychological mechanism presenting across a range of primate species. This mechanism comes in two forms, which Brosnan and de Waal call First and Second Order IA. First Order IA is a negative reaction to an inequitable outcome by the disadvantaged party. A sensitivity to being cheated is found in species where cooperation is routine. Second Order IA is a negative reaction to an inequitable outcome by the advantaged party. A sensitivity to cheating a partner has so far been demonstrated only in two species: chimpanzees and human beings. It seems likely that selection pressures for cooperation were key to the emergence of the human capacity for moral emotions (e.g., shame, guilt, and righteous indignation). I will argue that this research supports and enhances virtue ethics in general and Aristotelian ethics in particular. Unlike utilitarian and deontological accounts of ethics, virtue ethics can be firmly grounded in evolutionary biology. This approach will help us better understand the nature of the ethical dimension of human social and political behavior. In particular, it will show that while human beings are fully capable of subordinating their own interests to the common good, there are natural limits to that capacity. It will also help show that an evolutionary account of the most admirable human things is neither reductionist nor deflating.
“Compromising to End Polarization in Long-Term Social Security Financing: A Bearable Benefit Cut to Accompany Revenue Increases”
William Brandon

Zachry Mohr
University of North Carolina Charlotte [email protected]
A long-standing impasse over eliminating the long-term deficit in Social Security (SS) remaining after the Grand Compromise of 1983 pits those who would cut benefits further against advocates for greater revenues. In a polity faced with so many intractable problems, this important one is tractable: The 1983 grand bargain’s principle of “shared-pain” among all interests suggests the appropriate resolution. That compromise involved cutting benefits of SS beneficiaries and raising revenues from other stakeholders. But the obvious benefit targets--taxing benefits, an effective means-test, and increasing the eligibility age--have reached their limits. We analyze proposed changes in calculating the cost-of-living allowance (COLA) and advocate for a modification that mitigates potential harsh consequences for beneficiaries in their 80s and 90s. Our proposal produces estimated savings of 13.5% to 17.0% in the 2.88% taxable payroll deficit (2014 Trustees’ estimate) over the SS 75-year horizon. The paper concludes with a

discussion section: (1) explaining why this “tech-fix” proposal is superior to alternative forms of benefit cuts; (2) surveying several potential sources of increased revenue; and (3) suggesting that adoption of our COLA proposal for all federal indexing--from tax brackets to entitlement programs—would increase federal revenues and equity without officially raising taxes.
“Confident Candidates and Comforted Voters: A Biometric Approach to Assessing Political Viability”
Erik P. Bucy Texas Tech University [email protected]
Esul Park
Texas Tech University [email protected]
This paper proposes a biometric measure for assessing presidential candidate viability, including both behavioral and physiological indicators, that considers the efficacy of televised leader displays in reaction to domestic and international crises. Over the last few decades, recurring threats and the intense media coverage attended upon them have placed growing demands on presidents to appear on the front lines of foreign policy initiatives and disaster recovery efforts to show national resolve and allay public anxiety. Terrorist strikes, natural disasters, and other “focusing events” that threaten public health and national security place urgent demands on leaders to appear in control, reduce uncertainty, and find effective solutions to sudden and enormous challenges. As such, candidates for high office increasingly must convey that they “have what it takes” when responding to crisis. This project simulates individual candidate response to crisis events by first showing viewers different news stories of domestic crises and international threats (e.g., North Korea, Iraq, Hurricane Sandy, avian influenza, the Boston Marathon attacks, terrorism in the Middle East, cyber attacks). Following a randomly selected threat, 30-second video clips of presidential hopefuls, both Republican and Democrat, were shown to viewers with the sound off to isolate the effect of leader nonverbal communication. Footage of political leaders was manipulated to be either high or low in potency, defined as having authority, power, or strength. Findings from two experimental studies—one based on self-report, the other using heart rate, skin conductance, and facial EMG—test a model in which nonverbal displays evoke emotional and evaluative responses, which in turn mediate political support and behavioral intentions. The 2016 presidential election, which will be contested within both parties, provides an opportune moment to study this new biometric approach to candidate viability in a dynamic setting.

Physical and mental health is known to have wide influence over various aspects of social life but has received limited attention in explaining political participation. We analyze a unique dataset with a rich array of objective measures of mental and physical well-being and objective measures of political participation, with a focus on older Americans. The dataset includes information on siblings, allowing use of family fixed effects models to control for factors connected to family background. For voting, each aspect of health has a powerful effect on par with traditional predictors of participation such as education. In contrast, health has little to no effect on campaign contributions, despite the fact that donating is widely viewed as a more difficult activity than voting.
“Corruption and the Challenge of Social Stability in Nigeria: A Critical Analysis”
Chime Caleb Havard Wilson College of Education
[email protected] After five decades of independence, corruption continues to be a destructive element in the governance of Nigeria as well as a major hindrance to the attainment of Millennium Development Goals despite calculated attempts by successive government to combat the menace. Thus, this study was carried out to examine the perception of social values and corrupt practises among Professional Accountants thereby establishing a relationship between the two variables. The study aimed at answering the following Research Questions: 1) Is there any significant relationship between respondents’ socioeconomic background and their awareness of the damaging effects of corruption? 2) Is there any significant relationship between respondents’ perceived effectiveness of the anti-corruption campaign and their willingness to adopt ethical/moral standards to support the anti-corruption campaign? 3) To

“Do Guaranteed Issue Regulations Improve Reemployment Outcomes? Learning from State Policies during the Great Recession”
Jacqueline Chattopadhyay
University of North Carolina at Charlotte [email protected]
For working-age Americans, unemployment often means exclusion from employer-subsidized health insurance. The unemployed who are unable to obtain insurance through a spouse or public program are left to seek it through COBRA or the individual market. Both are expensive, and the latter long inhospitable to people with preexisting conditions. Public policy generates these conditions, and thereby generates reemployment pressures. One policy—guaranteed issue regulations in the individual market (henceforth IGI)—may ease reemployment pressures. The ACA mandated IGI nationwide in 2014. Yet, we know little about whether IGI relates to the caliber of reemployment that the unemployed secure. Exploiting pre-ACA cross-state IGI variation, this paper studies whether unemployed individuals in states requiring IGI in 2010, who found new jobs by 2011, obtained better jobs than those in states without IGI, as measured by whether those jobs involved pay cuts, matched their skills, or were jobs they saw as “just to get by” while searching for better opportunities. Results suggest that these outcomes are insensitive to IGI, even when controlling for related, relevant policies. Administrative and media-based efforts to inform citizens about IGI may be necessary before IGI provisions can improve reemployment outcomes.
“Politics and Science in the Legalization of Marijuana”
Bonnie Chojnacki
[email protected] Efforts to legalize marijuana in the United States are changing public perception of a drug that that has been politically controversial since the first anti-drugs laws targeted Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans then escalated as the war on drugs captured national attention. Two utilitarian reasons contribute to the changing perceptions. One, statistics on recreational use indicates a high burden and skewed bias within the legal system for violations of drug laws for marijuana. Two, documented medicinal benefits of marijuana are another. This paper will explore the controversies including one of the lesser-known facts about scientific research. That is that there is a single governmental facility authorized to grow marijuana for research. The National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Drug Enforcement Agency fund the Coy W. Waller Laboratory established at the University of Mississippi in 1968. The Waller Laboratory mandates include growing the plants for authorized research on marijuana and testing pot that has been seized during drug raids. Advocates of increased research on marijuana speculate that the mandates of the funding agencies limit scientific research. The Waller Laboratory claims the charge is a red herring and affirms its research objectivity.

“Too Little Too Late: A Historical Analysis of Vaccine Development for Epidemic Disease”
Rachel Constance Walsh University
[email protected] On August 6 2015, the New York Times reported that an experimental vaccine against Ebola was a success in New Guinea, providing protection to trial participants ten days after injection. The trial was particularly notable for its innovative design, set in the midst of an international health emergency (NY Times, 2015). However, the Ebola vaccine was successfully tested in monkeys more than a decade ago. This means that it should have been mass produced for use amongst vulnerable populations long before the Ebola crisis of 2014. This pattern of reactionary experimentation has repeated itself at various points throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Although vaccines are arguably one of the most important of modern scientific developments, modern medicine has evolved in such a way that over the past fifty years especially, it has become more difficult to develop new vaccines as the costs can reach hundreds of millions of dollars. Drug companies are particularly reluctant to develop experiments for diseases with low potential for returns, which means diseases that impact developing countries in Africa and Asia are particularly vulnerable to epidemic outbreaks of diseases like Ebola and the MERS virus. This study will examine the evolving relationship between vaccine development and epidemic disease over the past 150 years. Using a case study approach, it will demonstrate how modern science’s research design has historically impacted the potential for positive outcomes in the event of epidemic outbreaks amongst the populations of developing countries. It will also evaluate proposals for potential geopolitical solutions for this ongoing and problematic issue.
“Sex Differences in Sports: Media Portrayals and Social Policies Reflect Myths, Not Reality”
Robert O. Deaner Grand Valley State University
[email protected] Many social policies are based upon assumptions about the physical and psychological differences between men and women. The prevailing view among journalists, policymakers, and scholars is that sex differences are slight, caused by social practices, and can be easily altered. Here I examine this view within the domain of sports. Sports are an ideal testing ground because the prevailing view about sex differences shapes many policies and because sports provide a wealth of relevant empirical data. I first review evidence that sex differences in physical performance in most sports are large and stable. Moreover, these differences are due to sex differences in size, strength, physiology, and anatomy. These differences are, in turn, based on various biological mechanisms, including differing levels of circulating hormones. Second, I show that sex differences in the motivation to participate in and monitor competitive sports are also large and stable. These differences are likely underpinned by biological mechanisms, including differential prenatal exposure to hormones. Finally, I discuss possible reasons why the prevailing view about sex differences in sports reflects myths, not reality.

“Visual Moral Framing of Climate Change and Evolution in Social Media”
William Evans University of Alabama
[email protected] Online discourse related to climate change is laden with moral considerations. This discourse can be understood and analyzed in its bio-social context using moral foundations theory, which posits that media content can trigger innate moral dispositions. Partisan journalists and bloggers seem adept at triggering audience moral dispositions, and recent research finds that climate change bloggers frequently employ moral frames. To date, research in this area has assessed only the language employed by journalists and bloggers. This study analyzes how photographs, illustrations, and videos likely to trigger moral intuitions are used to frame climate change. Facebook, Twitter and other popular social media platforms increasingly feature visual elements, in large part because social media users find visual elements attractive and salient. Indeed, we may be hardwired to attend to these visual elements. Like climate change discourse, online discourse about human evolution frequently pits “deniers” against “acceptors” in social media content replete with cartoons, photographs, and embedded videos. This study analyzes visual moral framing in social media discourse about evolution. This study demonstrates how researchers working with content analysis applications of moral foundations theory can assess crucial visual as well as linguistic features of social media.
“Abortion and Stem-Cell Politics in Pubic Debates”
James H. Fetzer University of Minnesota Duluth
[email protected] The attack on Planned Parenthood by Carly Fiorina was based on a 19th-week miscarriage, not an abortion; the fetus survived only a few minutes, because it was not viable; no autopsy or dissection was done and none of its parts, including its brain, were harvested. This had nothing to do with Planned Parenthood, but it has been used to promote the denial of federal funding, where some have even threatened to shut down the government over this false and inflammatory depiction. Politicians are going to mislead the public for their personal political benefit over an issue that cannot be resolved if articles of faith and false premises are allowed to influence--and ultimately control--the formation of public policies. This presentation offers an approach toward its resolution predicated upon the principle known as "the ethics of belief", which maintains it is immoral to believe anything for which we have insufficient evidence, where empirical claims require empirical support. By drawing essential distinctions between life and personhood and taking the basic principle of morality to be that of always treating other persons as ends and never merely as means, it becomes clear that the normative notion of personhood as a social/legal/moral concept needs to be properly correlated with a suitable stage of embryogenesis as a scientific/ empirical/ testable property, where the foundations and implications of this approach for public policy debates are elaborated and explored.

“Using the Science of Early Brain Development to Inform Public Policy for Children and Youth Services”
Bettina Franzese The Milton Hershey School
[email protected] The findings from neuroscience, developmental psychology, genetics, and program evaluation research has allowed scientists to develop and new, integrated science of early childhood development. From this we know that brains are built over time via the interactions of genes, environment, and experiences. Positive, responsive parenting can buffer children from early adverse life events that can throw children off an optimal developmental trajectory. This toxic stress can compromise brain function and neural structures that can lead to lifelong problems with mental and physical health, employment, workforce productivity and puts added stress on our policies and programs. By using science informed practice, there are quality child and family services that can reduce the effects of poverty and toxic stress in under-resourced families and include programs with qualified and well compensated personnel, language rich environments, safe physical settings, parent education and interventions for more responsive and supportive parenting, skilled home visiting and high quality center-based services. Programs with less skilled, less paid services simply do not work and a long term commitment for higher quality programs should be a priority to ensure that are children grow up to be healthy, productive adults.
“His Mother’s Son: Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Love of Peace”
Robert E. Gilbert Northeastern University
[email protected] This paper focuses on Dwight Eisenhower and discusses how his relationship with his mother when he was a child powerfully shaped his life and his thinking. It relies on primary source materials found at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas as well as the voluminous secondary material surrounding Eisenhower’s life and his Presidency. Ida Eisenhower was a staunch pacifist who hated war and who picketed on the streets of Abilene, Kansas, for peace. She raised her sons, including young Dwight, to love peace and to hate unnecessary violence. Eisenhower described his mother as the most important influence of his life who shaped him into the man he became. In other words, he was politically socialized by his mother to become averse to unnecessary violence (he opposed the atomic bombing of Japan and refrained from using U.S. troops in battle again (in Indochina, for example) after he ended the war in Korea six months following his Inauguration. So Eisenhower was politically socialized (and psychologically influenced) through his relationship with his mother to love peace and to do all he could to avoid unnecessary violence. Psychologist Otto Fenichel wrote of an “internalization of the mother” in which a portion of the ego becomes an inner mother, threatening a possible withdrawal of affection.” In Eisenhower’s case, this internalization seems to have been very powerful.

“Fetus Ex Machina: The Political Challenge of Genetic Engineering”
Benjamin Gregg University of Texas at Austin [email protected]
David Prindle
University of Texas at Austin [email protected]
Technological means to artificially manipulate the human genome are developing rapidly. We propose a means of evaluating the merits and dangers of genetic engineering on the basis of three theses: (1) with biological self-transformation, humanity moves from “first nature” to “second nature”; (2) legal and moral guidelines for human behavior cannot be found in nature; (3) eventual answers to some of the social, moral, legal and political questions posed by new biotechnologies will force a re-evaluation of social and moral value. The only tenable standpoint for regulating genetic engineering would be morally and culturally relative: in some cases genetic chance (freedom from genetic manipulation) would be preferable, in others, genetic choice (via manipulation) might promise goods that genetic chance cannot. Which of these options is preferable, in any given case, depends on (a) the nature of the goal of a particular intervention; (b) the degree to which a particular enhancement can be regarded as conventional; (c) the question of coercion; (d) the perspective on risks involved; and (e) possible unintended social consequences of some kinds of intervention. Because genetic modification is always also a political act, communities need to adjust to new design problems that humans create for themselves through biotechnology.
“Side Effects: The Unintended Consequences of Health Reform on Public Hospitals”
Simon Haeder University of Wisconsin-Madison
[email protected] Long before the establishment of Medicaid or the passage of the Affordable Care Act, California counties provided their poorest residents with access to relatively comprehensive medical care. This paper analyzes the creation and closure of public hospitals in the State of California from the 1840s until today. It combines both qualitative historical research and advanced event history analysis to assess what led first to the creation of the nation’s most comprehensive public health network and then to its gradual demise. A particular focus is on the role of Medicaid, which unintentionally accelerated this demise, and the lessons that can be drawn for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. I find strong evidence that the creation and implementation of Medicaid in California significantly altered the calculus of local governments with regard to the operation of public hospitals. In particular, Medicaid shifted county hospitals from the realm of allocational to that of redistributive politics. Subsequently, reforms at the state and federal level further encouraged this development. Because of this shift, many counties decided to close their hospitals. Moreover, as expected for redistributive policies, the operation of public hospitals is not driven by need but instead merely the result of fiscal ability: counties who can afford public hospitals continue to maintain them while poorer counties with objective need close their doors. Developments under the ACA may further exacerbate this situation, as may the creation of two new medical schools.

“Adding Expertise to the Legislative Process? The Effect of Mandate Review Requirements in the States”
Simon Haeder
University of Wisconsin-Madison [email protected]
David L. Weimer
University of Wisconsin-Madison [email protected]
State legislatures have extensively regulated their insurance markets since the late 1800s. Of particular interest are the more than 2,200 health insurance mandates enacted by state legislatures. Not surprisingly, many states have sought to gain a better understanding of the effects of insurance mandates by requiring a review of the potential effects of the mandate under legislative consideration. From a policy perspective, the efforts by states to bring this expertise to the legislative process are laudable. However, the rigor and utility of these reviews differs significantly across the states; while some rely on their state university systems to draft extensive reports, others use simple two-page templates. No study to date has sought to assess the quality of these reviews or, more importantly, whether they have any effect on the legislative adoption of mandates. This paper assesses the role of mandates from two perspectives. First, it considers the diffusion of requirements for mandate analysis across the states. Second, it assesses the impact of the over one-hundred mandate analyses conducted for the California legislature by the California Health Benefits Review Program.

This paper uses one of the first national surveys focused on fracking to examine what influences risk-benefit
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 12
perceptions as they interact with ideology, media attention, trust in experts, and knowledge. Analysis using hierarchical multiple regression models indicates that conservative economic ideology, increased public affairs news attention, and trust in industry scientists and corporations significantly relate to greater perceived benefits than risks from fracking. In contrast, increased science news attention and trust in environmental organizations significantly relate to greater perceived risks than benefits. Higher perceived knowledge interacting with economic ideology revealed a polarizing effect: greater knowledge indicated increased perceived riskiness of fracking for those with more liberal economic ideology but decreased perceived riskiness for more conservative economic ideology. The results suggest that public risk-benefit perceptions of fracking rely heavily on trust in experts and on processing knowledge through ideological, and polarizing, cues.
“Countervailing Values and Countervailing Norms: Abortion and Directive Genetic Counseling”
Matthew Lawrence Kearney University of Wisconsin-Madison
[email protected] This multi-method study finds that abortion values shape genetic counseling practices across societies. More broadly, it shows how social values shape medical practice even in the absence of formal mechanisms. Data are drawn from cross-national surveys of genetic counselors (n=2,906) and a comparative-historical investigation of abortion attitudes in 36 countries based on law, frequency of policy debate, incidence rates, and polls. The key finding is that the more controversial abortion is within a society, the less directive genetic counselors are willing to be, whereas the less controversial abortion is, the more directive the counseling. Polynomial regressions confirm this relationship. To explain this finding, I develop the concept of countervailing norms – norms that erode professional autonomy without acting through some institutional intermediary – and countervailing values – conceptions of social desirability that imply such norms.
“The Political Economy of Freshwater Supply in a Changing Climate: Complexity Models of Global Environmental Change”
Jenny Kehl
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee [email protected]
The political economy of water resources in a changing climate requires new Complexity Models of the relationship between life sciences and social sciences. Scientific indicators of water sufficiency (water quantity and water quality) and social science variables of water governance (politics and economics) will need to be analyzed using Complexity Models of regional and global environmental change. The purpose of this paper is to use climate science to identify the areas in which freshwater scarcity is expected to be most severe. The three main methodologies will be GIS climate models, atmospheric circulation models, and hydrologic models. We will conduct nine analyses of competing data on climate change from IPCC, WRI, and Aquastat. We will develop models for IPCC scenarios A1B, A2, B1 for the years 2000 (the baseline), 2025, 2050, and 2095. Beyond previous studies of climate change, this research will combine climate models with political and economic models to determine where the most fragile freshwater environments overlap with the most volatile political and economic conditions, which

is where we will anticipate the emergence of water conflicts. The paper concludes with a discussion of the importance of political institutions and economic structures in addressing the effects of climate change, and the need to change and improve water governance to address modern challenges of water scarcity. “Biological Weapons Nonproliferation for the 21st Century: A Shift of Responsibility from Nation-states
to Individual Researchers?”
Margaret Kosal Georgia Institute of Technology
[email protected] This paper explores a previously unaddressed underlying challenge of advanced technologies and efforts to limit proliferation in the 21st Century – the tacit shifts in responsibility for nonproliferation from the international community and nation-states to individual researchers. Nonproliferation of biological weapons traditionally was a function of nation-states. Inadequacies in the international systems and in the international regimes, coupled with decisions and choices of individual states, have produced a tacit shift downward for limiting proliferation threats from biotechnology to specialized groups and increasingly to individuals. While the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and other regimes establish international legal frameworks and norms that condemn the use of biological agents, alone the current framework, which lacks any verification protocol, has struggled to deal with technologically-enabled proliferation challenges. As globalization and the information revolution have made new technological developments accessible and relatively inexpensive to many nations and within the grasp of non-state actors. Advanced technology is no longer the domain of the few. In this paper, I will explore this phenomenon, the origin, and consider implications through case studies, including the political controversy publication results and experimental details of genetically-engineered H5N1 influenza virus, and ethnographic data. “A Life History Framework Advances the Understanding of Attitudes toward and Intentions to Cooperate

The relationship between community members and police is an important social issue and recent events have brought widespread attention. Interest in a biosocial approach to criminology is growing, and adoption of evolutionary Life History Theory (LHT) may accelerate progress towards an integrative evolutionarily informed human science. Most current work on police attitudes is based on Tyler’s process-based model of policing; examining the influence of basic socio-demographic factors on perceptions of procedural justice (whether police are fair and trustworthy). We developed additional domains of police attitudes based on a LHT framework for social dynamics; police roles in maintaining social stability, using their power for status competition, and antagonistic relations with (and exploitation of) community residents. We examined these domains and procedural justice with a US undergraduate sample (N = 340, M age = 19, 53% female) and a German community sample (N = 462, M age = 25, 61% female). Our new domains demonstrated explanatory power beyond perceptions of procedural justice, demographic factors, and a general life history indicator. A perception that police maintain social stability was the strongest predictor of intentions to cooperate with the police in both populations. We are currently collecting additional data across geographical areas in Brazil.
“Pandemics, Public Fear and Policy: Vaccines and Global Infectious Diseases”
Peter Lee City University of New York Brooklyn College
[email protected] While Liberia has been declared free of Ebola virus transmission by the World Health Organization, the crisis of Ebola has nevertheless highlighted the failures of the international community in addressing long-standing disparities of health and health infrastructure. Widespread, global public fear of Ebola not only has masked inequalities of health care by instead emphasizing the devastating, biological nature of infectious disease but more importantly has advocated for policies of control, isolation and eradication. A review of the pathophysiology of Ebola as well as past cases reveals that adequate clinical care of oral rehydration therapy with supportive care reduces fatality rate; yet when such critical services are notably absent, death ensues. Rather than focusing on the development of vaccines, global health efforts must focus on strengthening systems namely health and public health infrastructure in the developing world. This roundtable panel will examine the intersection of insecurity, infection and inequality - how mass hysteria galvanizes policies of national security in the context of global health. This roundtable will scrutinize the global response to outbreaks of infectious disease to critique the emphasis on biomedicine and vaccines. This discussion will then explore the implications of politics of fear on health as a human right.

This study sketches the differences in sentiment on Twitter related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) by collecting and analyzing a census of 2,383,825 geographically-identified, English-language tweets containing keywords related to GMOs for a 28-month period from August 1, 2012 through November 30,2014. Using U.S. states as cases, and examining optimistic/pessimistic sentiment, we map state-level deliberation over GMOs among issue publics by building a model to examine the relationship between volume of GMO-keyword tweets, valence of tweets, and educational, economic, and political characteristics of states. At the national level, 71% of GMO-keyword tweets contained pessimistic sentiments, 7% contained optimistic sentiments and 22% were neutral. Model results show that the volume of GMO-keyword tweets by state varied during the time period studied and corresponded to major news or policy events. At the state level, we find that pessimistic opinion on Twitter for GMOs is negatively related to aggregate levels of education and positively related to higher levels of production agriculture in terms of land use or revenue. State political leanings were not related to aggregate levels of pessimism. Implications of these findings on political discourse surrounding GMOs are discussed.

“Why Don’t USA-based Scientists Publish Papers on the Role of Innate Variation in Athletic Performance?”
Michael Lombardo
Grand Valley State University [email protected]
Shadie Emiah
Grand Valley State University Historical events have produced an ideologically charged atmosphere in the USA surrounding the potential role of innate variation on athletic performance. We tested the hypothesis that studies of innate variation in athletic performance were less likely to have authors with USA addresses than addresses elsewhere because of this cultural milieu. Using data from 290 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals from 2000-2012, we compared the proportions of authors with USA addresses with those with addresses elsewhere that studied the relationships between athletic performance and (a) prenatal exposure to androgens, as indicated by the ratio between digits 2 and 4, and (b) the genotypes for angiotensin converting enzyme, α-actinin-3, and myostatin; traits associated with athletic performance. Authors with USA addresses were disproportionately underrepresented on papers about the role of innate variation in athletic performance. We searched NIH and NSF databases for grant proposals solicited or funded from 2000-2012 to determine if the proportion of authors that listed USA addresses was associated with funding patterns. Neither NIH nor NSF funded grants designed to study these topics. We argue the combined effects of a lack of government funding and the avoidance of studying controversial topics by USA based scientists are responsible for our observations.
“Profiles of Niche Media Influences Across Health Risk Beliefs”
Benjamin A. Lyons Southern Illinois University Carbondale
[email protected] The era of media fragmentation has allowed for not only partisan echo chambers, but also innumerable niches of boutique media consumption. This landscape shapes knowledge and understanding of health risks posed to society and individuals by putting both dubious and authoritative information on a level playing field. Using national survey data, this study examines the influence of highly granular media sources on a wide range of health risk beliefs (regarding GMOs, organic foods, homeopathy and natural remedies, marijuana, and Ebola, for example). Although results support an idiosyncratic understanding of belief formation (Authors, 2014; 2015), they also provide further troubling evidence of partisan media polarization of basic health risk facts. Moreover, results show health media influence falls more in line with entertainment media (predicting false beliefs) than with science media (predicting correct beliefs). Other non-authoritative information sources, such as parenting media, had inconsistent influence. Perhaps more troubling, social media use for health information and encyclopedic information seeking (e.g., WebMD) were associated with false beliefs. Beyond media consumption, the study then disentangles the complicated roles of different forms of efficacy — informational efficacy, health information efficacy, health self-efficacy, and psychological independence.

“Unpacking the Adaptive Significance of Left-Right Political Ideologies”
Jordan Mansell University of Oxford
[email protected] Recent publications find that political attitudes are strongly influenced by hereditary factors over and above variation due to the environment. Given this hereditary influence this paper adopts a novel approach to the study of left-right political attitudes by attempting to place these attitudes within an evolutionary framework. Using experimental methods, I attempt to understand the adaptive significance of left-right political attitudes by examining their contribution to individual utility in a social environment. In a sample of 1900 participants I examine whether knowing a potential cooperative partner’s implicit social attitudes increases participant’s willingness to trust in a one-shot economic game. Implicit social attitudes are preferences for the structure and function of society, and have an establish connection to heredity. The results demonstrate that left, but not right-oriented individuals have a strong and significant sensitivity to shared implicit social attitudes. While right individuals display a significant sensitivity to shared favorite sport. Based on these and other differences in the observed behaviour of individuals on the left and right, I hypothesize that left-right political attitudes result from different adaptive neurologic mechanisms to obtain reciprocity through the management of social risk.
“The Ebola Epidemic and the Globalization of Health Issues”
Val Martin Illinois Institute of Technology
The concept of sovereignty presumes the ability of a state to take care of itself, but in reality there are many limitations. The most dramatic example is the recent case of the Ebola epidemic, which quickly went out of control and threatened to become a global phenomenon. The study of this episode shows how it was possible for a number of states to come together and effectively meet a global challenge. At the same time, the need for international cooperation demonstrated the limits of state sovereignty. While we can challenge economic globalization, or even discuss (with George Soros) the disintegration of the global economy into economic blocs, when it comes to health issues this global interconnectedness remains, and needs to be sustained with full force.

TMT argues that the reality of mortality inherently creates subconscious anxiety in humans, which can be relieved by symbolically creating a sense of importance for an in-group, while directing hostility towards an out-group. Specifically, I hypothesized that threats to American exceptionalism create anxiety in Americans, which partisans alleviate by derogating
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 18
members of the opposing party. This hypothesis was tested using (1) an experiment in which partisans were exposed to a news story proclaiming American exceptionalism was either intact or in serious jeopardy, and (2) a national survey of Americans (N = 972). In both studies, as anxiety about America went up, Republicans exhibited higher levels of affective polarization, but Democrats displayed less. Instead of supporting the initial hypothesis, these results can be better explained using the theory of affective intelligence, which argues that although people typically prefer to exert minimal cognitive energy, when partisans experience anxiety they put aside prior commitments and engage in effortful processing. This paper discusses the implications of these findings for our understanding of how and when social identity processes affect political polarization.
“Voting is Hard: Cognitive Capacity and Voter Turnout”
Gregg R. Murray Texas Tech University
Brian B. Boutwell Saint Louis University [email protected]
Voting is cognitively costly for most citizens. Although some thoughtlessly abstain or vote a straight party ticket without any evaluation of candidates or issues, most at least partially process electoral factors if for no other reason than to decide to vote or not. More engaged citizens actively follow issues, some of which can be quite complex, and discern between candidates for multiple offices. While scholars have identified a number of factors that affect voter turnout, there has been little to no research on the effects of cognitive capacity on voter turnout despite the cognitive demands placed on citizens by voting. This research seeks to address this gap in the literature via two studies analyzing distinct measures of voter turnout and cognitive capacity. Study 1 uses self-reported turnout and a measure of verbal knowledge collected in the 2012 American National Election Study. Study 2 uses actual turnout at the state level and a measure of mean state cognitive capacity derived from mean reading and math scores on standardized tests administered to a sample of public school children in all 50 states. As expected, preliminary analyses for both studies show that greater cognitive capacity plays a consequential role in increasing voter turnout.
“Fast and Slow: Life History Strategies and Political Ideology”
Gregg R. Murray Texas Tech University
Laurette T. Liesen Lewis University
[email protected] Life history theory is a product of evolutionary biology that analyzes how environmental factors such as resource availability (e.g., food), extrinsic morbidity-mortality (e.g., disease), and unpredictability (e.g.,
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 19
economic instability) affect organisms’ patterns of development and reproduction. These patterns, in turn, affect organisms’ allocation strategy for limited resources such as time and energy. When conceived of as a set of coherent attitudes regarding social change and government’s role in society and the economy, one may conclude individuals’ political ideology may be influenced by their life history strategies. A slow strategy, which prioritizes somatic efforts, is more adaptive in resource-rich, predictable, and supportive environments, while a fast strategy, which prioritizes reproduction, is more adaptive in resource-poor, unpredictable, and unsupportive environments. In particular, an individual exposed to a difficult environment may support greater government intervention in the economic and social environment s/he faces, that is, a liberal ideology, while an individual exposed to an accommodating environment may support less government intervention, that is, a conservative ideology. Preliminary results from a survey of 124 undergraduates indicate, as expected, individuals with a slower strategy are more likely to be politically conservative, while individuals with a faster strategy are more likely to be politically liberal.
“Towards Building a Sustainable Future with Cultivated Attitudes”
Loren Noelle Page Texas Tech University [email protected]
Randi Leigh Thomas
Texas Tech University On March 15th, 2012, President Barack Obama stressed to the American people, “We can’t have an energy strategy for the last century that traps us in the past. We need an energy strategy for the future – an all-of-the-above strategy for the 21st century that develops every source of American-made energy.” With the United States leading second in the world in energy consumption, the U.S. Department of Energy proposed the “20% Wind Energy by 2030,” initiative to increase renewable energy production. In order to achieve an ambitious goal, public participation regarding the underlying issue of this proposal lies in a clouded perception of what a sustainable energy future holds for the American people. Since public participation is ubiquitously influenced by media depiction of politics, environmental issues, and community involvement, each facet shapes behaviors and attitudes towards wind energy. Through explication of the cultivation theory, the degree to which media exposure of wind energy development in the Lubbock, Texas region influences attitudes will be analyzed. Moreover, this insight will explore the media’s social impact on the relationship of the local public and wind energy development.

“I Am Not Smiling: Counterempathic Responses to Comedic Performances at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner”
Esul Park

Texas Tech University [email protected]
Erik P. Bucy
Texas Tech University [email protected]
Along with political entertainment skits on shows like Saturday Night Live, the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner—broadcast on cable and available online—has assumed a prominent place in American political satire, where comedians roast the president both with humor and criticism that sounds like humor. To date, political satire research has largely focused on the content of political satire programs or, when effects are tested, self-reported outcomes such as political interest or self-efficacy are measured using surveys and online experiments (Hmielowski, Holbert, & Lee, 2011). Thus far, little psychophysiological research has been conducted to assess biobehavioral responses to political satire. From a biobehavioral perspective, viewer smiling may be regarded as an endorsement of the performance, while frowning as manifest disagreement or a counterempathic emotional response (see Bucy & Bradley, 2004). In this study we examine how counterempathic responses to comedic performances during the Correspondent’s Dinner are regulated by viewers’ political party identification and how, in turn, these evaluations impact or mediate presidential evaluations. In the paper we review literature on political satire, the role of empathy and counterempathy, which corresponds to facial muscle activation for the expression of emotion, and the biobehavioral approach to political communication. Frowning and smiling activation is then measured in an original experiment using facial electromyography (EMG) in a repeated measures design that tests responses to short videos of different comedians roasting Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Stimuli consist of 4 comedic roasts of President Obama and 4 of President Bush, including Stephen Colbert’s widely discussed 2006 comedic address, shown in random order. The analysis focuses on how party identification and viewer emotional response interact to shape political evaluations, and how these evaluations in turn predict thermometer ratings, favorability, and policy agreement. Memory for information in the comedic clips is also tested with a cued recognition test following exposure.
“Health Status, Nutrition, and Democracy: A Cross-national Study”

Accepted variables predicting democracy include education level, economic development, urbanization, communication networks and so on. This paper will explore biological variables in democratization

processes—nutrition level and health status. Comparative data are used to explore the effects of these variables. Findings indicate that both variables have a role to play, although not as powerful as, for example, education. Thus, biosocial factors are implicated as having some effect in the odds of a nation being democratic. Implications are discussed.
“’Rainbow Nation' in Crisis: Political Rhetoric and Incentivized Violence in the 2015 South African Xenophobic Attacks”
Roxane Richter
Independent Scholar [email protected]
This year’s xenophobic attacks in South Africa have left seven people dead, hundreds more injured, and over 7,000 immigrants displaced – many fleeing their homes and seeking safety in makeshift ‘tent cities’ near police stations. Political rhetoric has served to both abate and inflame anti-foreigner sentiments and Afrophobic violence. The current discourse has effectively wrought state-sanctioned self-hatred among the very citizenship it is been called upon to govern – and the micro-politics of townships and tribes has led to the tacit sanctioning of abuse of the ‘amakwerekwere’ (foreign Africans) as scapegoats. It was the comment of Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini that foreigners "should pack their bags and go" that initially ignited this year’s clashes between locals, foreigners, and police. Moreover, South African President Jacob Zuma's son, Edward, publicly supported Goodwill’s remarks. South Africa has also suffered diminished international relations with Zimbabwe and the recall of Nigerian diplomats, exposing past contentions and rivalries. This paper will investigate other factors such as: the nation’s history of radical segregation via apartheid; high unemployment (30%); localized regimes of township leaders; limited involvement in formal political structures; low levels of social capital; persistent demonization of foreigners; and large numbers of urban migrant enclaves with poor service provisions. “Pink Slimed: A Time Series Analysis of Broadcast Coverage and Twitter Discourse During the 2012 'Lean
Textured Beef' Controversy”
Kristin K. Runge University of Wisconsin-Madison
Dominique Brossard University of Wisconsin-Madison
Dietram A. Scheufele University of Wisconsin-Madison
[email protected] In 2012 ABC World News Report aired a series of reports on 'lean finely textured beef' (LFTB) asserting that 70% of ground beef sold contained 'pink slime' ""beef trimmings… once used only in dog food"" (Avila, 2012). Within weeks of the reports two major producers of LFTB filed bankruptcy as retailers and school districts across the nation canceled contracts with the companies. This study analyzes reaction to
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 22
the ABC reports over a 12-month period. Using LexisNexis, we build a timeline including 728 broadcast reports and 360 newspaper articles about the LFTB controversy. Using computational linguistic software, we collect 336,240 related tweets over the same time period. A vector autoregression (VAR) time series analysis reveals that issue-related volume on Twitter is strongly influenced by coverage on ABC, volume of coverage in newspapers and local broadcast affiliates, though each medium exerts differing levels of influence over the study time period. Looking at the influence of media coverage on sentiment and uncertainty expression, we find that broadcast reports on both ABC and local affiliates are positively linked to overall levels of issue-related pessimism on Twitter, but that local affiliate reports are also related to optimistic sentiments expressing certainty on Twitter. Implications of these findings on discourse surrounding controversial food issues are discussed.
“Foreign Policy -- Conveying our Values”
James Rutherford Grant Hospital
[email protected] We have been missing a defining opportunity in the history of the moral and political philosophy of the liberal tradition; first, by not defining our primary moral value as equality, understood as a respect for individual personal dignity and our common humanity; and second, by not defining our government as a constitutional democracy, which is the only way to convey both the substantive and the procedural concepts of equality that it incorporates. It is this concept of equality and a multidimensional understanding of human nature that make the accommodation of a wide variety of attributes, cultural differences, desires, and beliefs possible without the use of coercion or being the cause of alienation.
“Disconnected: Sustained Overstimulation and the Crisis of Democratic Governance”
Ivelin Sardamov American University in Bulgaria
[email protected] Social thinking is naturally grounded in appropriate affective and physiological responses (or is built upon somatosensory and sensorimotor representations in the brain). Sensory and social overstimulation in complex, technologically saturated societies can induce sensory and social overload, and a degree of affective and visceral desensitization – and thus decoupling of thinking and automatic physiological arousal. This growing neurosomatic dissociation may be an aspect of social modernization and of related psychocultural phenomena (anomie, alienation, disenchantment, etc.). In recent decades, the sociotechnological overload associated with modern living has been exacerbated with the information revolution. Contemporary social environments can thus foster increasing existential disconnect, self-absorption, and social fragmentation. In such contexts, highly educated individuals would tend to develop overly analytical thinking, while those with inadequate education would tend to focus on immediate experiences, gratifications, and resentments. This divergence may provide the basis for a widening detachment of liberal/technocratic elites from the mass of the population in Western societies. These neurosomatic tendencies could underlie the decreasing social solidarity and cohesion experienced within Western democracies, and rising support for anti-systemic parties and movements.

They also raise serious concerns about the long-term viability of democratic governance and the sustained provision of public goods.
“Party Identification and Perceived Candidate Height”
J. David Schmitz Texas Tech University
[email protected] Evidence has shown a seemingly innate desire for an in-group/out-group dichotomization of group perception. Given the inherently confrontational nature of partisan politics, I argue that the tendency to embellish the stature and dominance of ingroup standing occurs subconsciously and naturally. One way of extrapolating such behavior is via individuals’ perceptions of political party leadership. I argue that identification with partisan groups predicts the size in which citizens perceive their political leaders in contrast to a rival party’s leader. I find that respondents do tend to exaggerate the physical stature of the presidential candidates of their own party, while at the same time minimizing the stature of the opposition (and at times dehumanizing the opponent altogether). The instrument used reveals biases that I posit are not learned through experience or environment alone, but are linked to survival mechanisms prevalent through adaptation.
“Paradigm Shift by Decree? From Group Selection to Kin Selection and Back”
Ullica Segerstrale Illinois Institute of Technology
[email protected] Forty years ago Edward O. Wilson’s book Sociobiology: the New Synthesis was seen as iconic for a paradigm shift from “naïve” group selection to the new paradigm of kin selection and gene selectionism. In 2005, however, Wilson declared that it was high time for a new paradigm change: Kin selection was not working and would need replacement with group selection! This claim was naturally challenged, but a continuing attack culminated in a famous 2010 Nature article by Wilson and two Harvard colleagues, in turn criticized by some 150 leading evolutionary biologists. Soon Wilson was supported by avid group selectionist D. S. Wilson, while on the kin selection side emerged Richard Dawkins. In his review of a new E. O. Wilson book Dawkins recommended to readers to “throw it as far as they could”, after which Wilson dismissed Dawkins as a journalist. A good deal of the confusion can be traced to the way in which some key concepts were initially interpreted by influential key actors, especially inclusive fitness, kin selection and group selection, without being seriously challenged at the time. Moreover, the idea of group selection has intuitive ideological appeal, one reason why it is being recurrently pursued. Meanwhile, Hamilton’s own discovery already in the 1970s that group selection (or rather, multi-level selection) and kin selection are mathematically fully translatable to each other, and therefore not in conflict, has typically not been emphasized. There may be several reasons for this.

The impact of presidential debates on candidate evaluations remains an open topic. Research has long sought to identify the factors that matter most in citizens' responses to debate content, including what candidates say, how they say it, and the manner in which they appear. This study uses detailed codings of the first and third 2012 presidential debates to evaluate the impact of candidates’ verbal and nonverbal behaviors on viewers’ “second screen” response—their use of computers, tablets, and mobile devices to express their reactions to the viewing experience. To examine the relationship between candidates’ on-screen behaviors and the social media response, we conduct generalized least squares regression (Prais-Winstein estimation) relating two data sources: (1) a shot-by-shot content analysis coded for rhetorical/functional, tonal, and visual elements of both candidates’ behavior during the debates, and (2) corresponding real-time measures of the volume and valence of online expression about the candidates on Twitter. We find that the nonverbal communication behaviors of candidates – their facial expressions, physical gestures, and blink rate – are consistent, robust, and significant

predictors of the volume and valence of public expression during debates, rivaling the power of memes generated by candidates and contributing more than rhetorical strategies and speech tone. “Fracking, Elsipogtog First Nation and the Police: Examining the Social Media Discourse Around a Police-
repressed Environmental Justice Movement”
Molly Simis University of Wisconsin-Madison
Jill Hopke DePaul University
[email protected] We investigate the intersection of several areas of recent research related to environmental movements and new media: police repression, climate change, and contested technologies. In October 2013, members of the Elsipogtog First Nation protesting shale gas exploration in New Brunswick, Canada were met with police force. The subsequent arrests were well represented on Twitter, and present an opportunity to evaluate the dynamics of environmental politics in a social media environment. By examining the Twitter discourse on the Elsipogtog protests and associated police action, we explore the nature of interactions and discourse around the online presence of environmental justice movements. The nuances of content and message are often not validly assessed in social media analysis, which is problematic for generalizing from case studies. To address this, we use a dataset of 64,973 tweets to investigate features of those that are particularly wide-reaching compared to dead-end tweets that get little to no attention, e.g., the use of visuals and inflammatory words and ego network size. Through our analysis, we add nuance to analyses of social media discourse around an environmental conflict. This research also contributes to understanding polarization on fracking, and perceptions of police repression of a marginalized population. “Nonverbal analysis of production decisions during the FOX News and CNN Republican Party presidential

Televised presidential pre-primary debates are highly important for partisans by providing information concerning candidate electoral viability. Here, the viability of a candidate can be communicated both in terms of how much speaking time is given – which communicates current electoral status as perceived
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 26
by network moderators – as well as through the audience response they receive. With this latter, amount and type of applause and laughter play a role by indicating how much support the candidate receives from the in-person audience, which in turn can be expected to influence those viewing the mediated debate. Here, I will explore both candidate speaking time and audience laughter and applause by content, analyzing the early Republican and Democratic Party pre-primary debates using ANVIL content analysis software. This study will replicate and expand upon previous research (Stewart, 2015) concerning the 2012 GOP primary debates.
“The impact of facial morphology on cooperation and success in the U.S. Congress”
Adrienne Tecza University of Oxford
[email protected] To date studies of facial morphology in politics have focused on the election of candidates [Little et al., 2007; Todorov et al., 2005]. This paper will take the next logical step by investigating the link between facial morphology and the behavior of politicians once they reach the U.S. House of Representatives. Several studies have found links between facial morphology and politically relevant behaviors in including achievement drive [Lewis et al., 2012], levels of cooperation [Stirrat & Perrett., 2012], and cheating [Geniole et al., 2014; Stirrat & Perrett, 2010]. Additionally people often look to the faces of potential partners for cues of about the individual’s trustworthiness, competence, and dominance [Mattes et al.2010; Todorov et al., 2008]. Together this body of work suggests that facial morphology could act as a proxy for underline psychological dispositions that impact the way representatives interact with fellow members of Congress and the manner in which they pursue their policy goals, contributing to our understanding of the highly social context of the legislative process.
“Something’s Fishy: Proximate and Ultimate Explanations in Evolutionary Leadership Theory”
Ronald F. White Mount St. Joseph University
[email protected] Over the past few years, I’ve been studying and writing about Evolutionary Leadership Theory (ELT). As a philosopher, one of the more puzzling distinctions that I’ve encountered is the distinction between proximate explanations (or theories) and ultimate explanations (or theories). Proximate theories of leadership seek to answer questions of “who leads?” and “how do they lead?” and, “who follows?” and “how do they follow?” Ultimate theories of leadership answer the questions of “why leaders lead?” and “why followers follow.” Proximate theories tend to reduce political behavior to cause and effect; while ultimate theories are “teleological” (or functional) and, therefore, entail the analysis of means and ends. Historians of science trace the origin of ultimate explanations to Aristotle and Judeo-Christian “divine command theory” which argues that, ultimately, “leaders lead” and “followers follow” because an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and “good” God commands them to do so. In the writings of St. Augustine and others, this led to the widespread application of “natural law theory,” or the idea that God created a world imbued with purpose and that the goal of science is to those reveal divine purposes. Natural law theorists argued that failure to abide any divine command is both “unnatural” and a “sin.” Of course, if evolution aims at any long-term “goal” or “purpose” it is the “survival” of genes,
APLS 2015 Abstracts / 27
organs, organisms, and or species. In this presentation I will question whether that proximate-ultimate distinction is philosophically coherent; whether the answers to “why questions,” are necessarily teleological; and whether ultimate explanations based on functionality are even necessary for a complete ELT.

[email protected] In recent years, “higher education” has been subject to widespread criticism. Much of it stems from rising costs of attending public and private colleges and universities, a recent rise in unemployment of recent graduates, and a perceived decline in the quality of educational institutions. Despite recent criticism, few scholars approach these issues by analyzing the evolving (or devolving) relationships between leaders and followers within academic institutions. Ironically, although most members of the APLS are associated with dysfunctional academic institutions (of varying degrees), we rarely approach the issues via Leadership Studies. This roundtable will provide an opportunity for APLS members to share their experiences and perhaps even propose meaningful change through the lens of leadership and followership.

“Censorship of Social Media in China: Altering Environmental Conversations Online”
Christopher Wirz University of Wisconsin-Madison
[email protected] Social media is rapidly evolving as a new media environment. In the US, industry leaders like Facebook and Twitter have created an open arena for discussion online. The platforms have allowed a commons of ideas, opinions, and information to develop surrounding a multitude of topics and issues. The discourse online can be a highly informative resource, with applications ranging from gauging public opinion to developing policy reforms. This paper looks at how the intensive censorship of social media in China attempts to alter the dynamic of these discussions. Past research done on blog sites and other sites with no length restrictions suggests censorship primarily targets content that calls for collective action. Alternatively, this paper focuses more specifically on Twitter and Weibo (a Chinese alternative) to see if sites that have length restrictions are censored for similar content. The analysis covers an explosion at a controversial paraxylene plant in April of 2015. This event was selected because there was a large pro-environmentalism response on social media, and similar events have led to collective action in the past. The analysis tracks content about the event on Twitter and Weibo, and then identifies patterns of content that was censored.

The contemporary online environment has promise as an open forum for civil deliberation. It has become an important source of information for non-expert audiences, especially for issues of science and technology. Yet, while online discussions have the potential to promote rational deliberation, there are limitations. In particular, online discourse is often accompanied by “trolling,” which describes the act of being deliberately uncivil online, typically by posting anonymous rude comments. Uncivil comments following online news articles have been shown to lead to negative interpretations of the content, a phenomenon termed the “nasty effect.” As a potential solution, news organizations have turned to online comment moderation to mitigate the effects of incivility. Yet, we have relatively little empirical evidence about moderation as a strategy to contend the “nasty effect.” Here, we present an examination of how moderation affects reader evaluations of uncivil online content. Can moderation of online comments serve to lessen the effect of incivility on perceptions of news bias? Using an experiment embedded in a nationally representative survey, we find that simulated moderation of comments alleviates the “nasty effect.” We also find the effect of comment moderation applies only to less closed-minded individuals. Implications of our findings are discussed.
