This course serves as a survey of the major theoretical approaches and empirical research in the field of political behavior. The course is split into two parts. The first part of the course delves into the manner in which individual citizens understand the political world, and here we will investigate the origins, development, and operation of: partisanship, ideology, and public opinion.

The hierarchical linear model provides a conceptual framework and a flexible set of analytic tools to study a variety of educational, social and developmental processes. One set of applications focuses on data in which persons are clustered within social contexts such as couples, families, classrooms, schools, or neighborhoods. A second set of applications concerns individual growth or change over time.

This course investigates the language used in advertisements. Advertisements are designed to persuade us to do things. Our focus will be on how advertisers use language to convey meanings, how they appeal to our emotions and elicit humor. We will examine concrete examples and use basic concepts from linguistic theory to understand the properties of persuasive language and the kinds of meanings that are at play.
