- Project Title: AP Research: Finding the Correlational Coefficient Between Support for Political Violence and Disbelief in the Electoral Process
- BASIS Independent Advisor: Mr. Hirsch
AP Research
This project will look for the correlation in support for political violence and disbelief in elections in Columbia and Georgetown students. Students are the subjects because they are the future. These are going to be future voters and leaders and political activists so by looking at them now will provide a rough estimate of what later general population studies will see can be determined. By using two schools, one in Washington D.C. and one in New York City the effects on witnessing political violence, the Capital Riot, on the student’s opinions can also be determined. When it comes to both support for political violence and belief in voter fraud, most of the current academic research is rooted in partisanship.

No study is perfect. Some of the unique design choices may have benefitted my study in some ways but harmed it in others. The winner effect playing such a large role in the results may be a downside. The 2020 election may have made conservatives more accepting towards violence and liberals less accepting. In the […]

Week 8: Implications
May 18, 2023
The numbers and correlation I found shows a lot about the political future of this country. The results of this study don’t bode well for a future free of political violence, though better than the initial hypothesis. The positives shown by the results were that there was a lack of correlation for liberals in all […]
