*Participants and Procedure.* These data come from a multi-campus collaborative project investigating psychosocial variables and political attitudes in conjunction with the 2004 presidential election. Data collection was based in research methods and statistics classes at participating universities. Some instructors administered the survey to their classes early in the semester while students were still "blind" to the purposes of the project. In some classes (including those in which the students had previously completed the survey themselves), students engaged in "convenience" or purposive sampling to obtain additional participants (i.e., students administered surveys to friends or other easily accessible individuals known to students). Some researchers offered small incentives to thank individuals for participating, e.g., candy bars and cash award lottery tickets, depending on the norms at the home institution. A list of participating investigators can be obtained at the project website: [http://www.webpages.ttu.edu/areifman/EAelectionstudy.htm.][1] Of the 19 instructors initially volunteering to participate, 14 contributed samples to the project. The total sample included 1,353 respondents. School-specific sample sizes ranged from 8 to 278 (Mdn = 75, M = 96.64, and SD = 81.01). Though these subsamples varied in demographic diversity, the overall sample contained 60 % women and 94 % of the total between the target ages between 18 and 24 (M = 21.23, SD = 3.21). Ethnicity similarly varied between schools. The overall sample included n = 1132 (86 %) Caucasian; n = 63 (5 %) African American; n = 55 (4.2%) Hispano/Latino; n = 32 (2.4 %) Asian/Pacific Islander; n = 6 (<1 % Native American); n = 34 (2.6 %) other, and n = 31 (2.3 %) who did not respond. Education demographics included n = 1066 (76 %) who were currently in college; while n =38 (2.8 %) reported high school or less; n = 71 (5.2 %) reported some college; n =113 (8.4 %) reported a college degree; n = 60 (4.4 %) reported a postgraduate degree; and n = 5 (< 1 %) did not respond. Each participating school received approval from its local IRB, and respondents were treated according to APA ethical standards. Individuals requesting re-analysis of these data are expected to uphold APA standards of protecting the privacy of participants. [1]: http://www.webpages.ttu.edu/areifman/EAelectionstudy.htm
