Abstract:
|
Judicial scholars have long debated the notion that Court decisions can influence the publics attitudes toward the U.S. Supreme Court. We engage this literature by introducing a theory and innovative methods to explore this link. We begin our analysis by examining the relationship between specific Court decisions and public confidence with aggregate time series data. Our analysis then shifts to an examination of individual-level survey data to examine the same hypothesis. Our results indicate that specific decisions can have a significant positive and negative on an individual-level confidence in the Court. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our findings for the theoretical and methodological debates over the influence of Court decisions on public opinion. |
