Welcome to Talking Politic Research. This site is used to how decisions are made during campaigns...but's it's not ready for use just yet. Stay tuned!
Welcome to Talking Politics Research, a platform for designing social process tracing experiments. Building on the dynamic process tracing experiment (DPTE) pioneered by Lau and Redlawsk, social process tracing experiments (SPTE for short) are two-stage experiments designed to simulate the two-step flow of information by including both a fictional campaign environment and a social information-sharing environment. While traditional DPTEs consider individual information processing and decision-making, a SPTE also considers what happens when individuals share and exchange information in a social discussion setting. To learn more about this design, click HERE While this website is designed for SPTE experiments, researchers who wish to design traditional one-stage DPTE experiments may find this platform useful for that purpose as well.
