Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The goals of the research practice seminar are twofold. First, students will become acquainted with theories and recent research on social groups and party identification. Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in social identity theory as well as group theories of democratic politics (e.g. Cramer 2016, Achen and Bartels 2017). This course discusses the impact of ingroup and outgroup identification on political behaviour. Identities addressed include class, race, gender, ethnicity, nation, and parties. Questions this class tackles include: When and why do individuals develop social identities? What is the difference between group membership and group identification? How do different types of identities differ? What happens when identities overlap? How do social identities affect vote choice and electoral participation?

Second, students will become familiarized with empirical research methods in political science, either by using existing data and analysing those, or by collecting own data based on newly developed research instruments. Given the topic of the seminar, the emphasis will be on survey and experimental methods. Secondary data analysis will also be discussed. Students can then apply these methods to their own research proposal.
