Accountability And Political Tolerance: "Sober Second-Thought" Or Knee-Jerk?, Erika D. Price
Master's Theses
This thesis explores the cognitive underpinnings of political tolerance. Past research suggests that political elites are more tolerant than the general population, regardless of political orientation. Survey results suggest that political expertise, interest, and attention to politics foster increased political tolerance, regardless of ideology, party, or the extent to which tolerance is carefully considered by the respondent.
