You guessed it – each of these articles published in the last few months used Verasight data. And as you can see, they cover a wide range of topics, gauging public perceptions of: 

‍

• Corporate political activity, 
• Personal and structural climate mitigation efforts,
• Personal internet usage,
• The impact of incarceration on civic participation, and
• US election trends. 

We’re honored that these researchers all chose to work with Verasight data – and (as always) we’re amazed by what they’ve achieved with it. 

Verasight asked Dr. Jennifer Jerit, Douglas A. Donahue, Jr. 1973 Distinguished Professor of Government at Dartmouth College and Dr. Jason Barabas, Professor of Government and Director of the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences at Dartmouth, co-authors of the PNAS Nexus article (along with Hwayong Shin, postdoctoral research associate at the Center) about their experience working with Verasight. Jerit and Barabas explained, “We appreciated working with Verasight on this project, one that needed a large and high-quality sample of engaged respondents. The Verasight team worked to find a customized solution in a straightforward and economical manner.” Their survey conducted by Verasight included 8,323 self-reported Democrats and Republicans. Across three experiments, the authors find that “warm glow” messaging, which highlights the pleasure and satisfaction one experiences from acting sustainably increased intentions to take pro-environmental actions. They also found that the largest treatment effects were among Republicans.

We’d love to feature your work in one of our future research roundups, so keep us posted as your research develops. If you have any questions about how you could put Verasight data to work in support of your research projects, please let us know.
