This course provides an overview of the nature of public opinion and mass political behaviors in democracies. In the first part of this course, we examine fundamental questions in public opinion research, including how to measure and interpret public opinion and how people’s beliefs and opinions formulate and change over time. Next, we study patterns of mass political behavior, ranging from voter turnout and vote choice to social movements. The final part of the course introduces recent academic debates about how media and political elites influence public opinion, and in turn, mass political behaviors and democratic accountability.
