Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Social capital theorists commonly claim that the social capital that results from community interaction and associational membership increases political participation. But critics argue that existing observational studies of the effect of social capital on political participation are plagued with selection bias; individuals who choose to participate in community activities and groups may possess characteristics that also make them more likely to participate in politics, such as social trust or some other unobserved characteristic that makes them “joiners.” Alternatively, experimental research is free from such selection bias issues and therefore has the potential to test the causal effect of social capital on political engagement. In this paper, I present the design and preliminary results from a large-scale randomized field experiment being conducted in San Antonio, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona in which social capital is manipulated within elementary school communities. I examine the impact of the school-level treatment program on the voter turnout of the parents.
