Why does this happen? Breaking new ground in the study of representation, The Impression of Influence demonstrates how legislators skillfully inform constituents with strategic communication and how this facilitates or undermines accountability. Using a massive collection of Congressional texts and innovative experiments and methods, the book shows how legislators create an impression of influence through credit claiming messages.Anticipating constituents' reactions, legislators claim credit for programs that elicit a positive response, making constituents believe their legislator is effectively representing their district. This spurs legislators to create and defend projects popular with their constituents. Yet legislators claim credit for much more-they announce projects long before they begin, deceptively imply they deserve credit for expenditures they had little role in securing, and boast about minuscule projects. Unfortunately, legislators get away with seeking credit broadly because constituents evaluate the actions that are reported, rather than the size of the expenditures.The Impression of Influence raises critical questions about how citizens hold their political representatives accountable and when deception is allowable in a democracy. 606 $aLegislators$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aGovernment spending policy$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aCommunication in politics$zUnited States 610 $aObama administration. 610 $aRepublican activists. 610 $aTea Party movement. 610 $aText as Data. 610 $aaccountability. 610 $aantispending rhetoric. 610 $aappropriations process. 610 $abudget criticism. 610 $abureaucrats. 610 $acongressional credit claiming. 610 $acredit allocation. 610 $acredit claiming messages. 610 $acredit claiming. 610 $acredit-claiming messages. 610 $acredit-claiming rates. 610 $acredit-claiming strategies. 610 $acredit. 610 $adeception. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $ademocratic competence. 610 $aexpenditure. 610 $afederal expenditures. 610 $afederal funds. 610 $afederal spending. 610 $agovernment spending. 610 $agrant decisions. 610 $ahand-coded documents. 610 $ahand-coded labels. 610 $ainfluence. 610 $alegislators. 610 $alinguistic deception. 610 $aname recognition. 610 $anonpartisan reputation. 610 $aparticularistic projects. 610 $apartisan reputation. 610 $apersonal vote. 610 $apolitical representation. 610 $apress releases. 610 $aspending. 610 $astatistical modeling. 610 $asystematic deception. 610 $atransparent communication. 615 0$aLegislators$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aGovernment spending policy$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aCommunication in politics 676 $a328.73 700 $aGrimmer$b Justin$01535186 702 $aWestwood$b Sean J. 702 $aMessing$b Solomon 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788088703321 996 $aThe impression of influence$93783216 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01146nam0 22002891i 450 001 UON00118222 005 20231205102705.947 100 $a20020107d1909 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aEssei sur le Béhaisme son histoire, sa portée sociale$fHippolyte Dreyfus 210 $aParis$cErnes Leroux$d1909 215 $a138 p.$d23 cm 606 $aBAHAISMO$3UONC002815$2FI 620 $aFR$dParis$3UONL002984 686 $aIRA VII C$cIRAN - FILOSOFIA E RELIGIONE - BABISMO E BAHA'ISMO$2A 700 1$aDREYFUS$bHippolyte$3UONV074399$0666879 712 $aLibrairie Ernest Leroux$3UONV247871$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240220$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00118222 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI IRA VII C 027 $eSI MR 23228 7 027 966 $aBABISMO$zBAHAISMO$3UONC006185 966 $aRELIGIONI IRANICHE$yBAHAISMO$3UONC005635 996 $aEssei sur le Béhaisme son histoire, sa portée sociale$91309235 997 $aUNIOR LEADER 01215nas 2200385 a 450 001 9910307934303321 005 20241018154120.0 011 $a1439-6203 035 $a(CKB)954925496039 035 $a(CONSER) 96645861 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2093161-X 035 $a(EXLCZ)99954925496039 100 $a19880324a198u9999 uy a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChinese journal of polymer science =$e?????(???) 210 $aBeijing $cChinese Chemical Society 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $aPrint version: Chinese journal of polymer science = (DLC)###96645861# (OCoLC)17670371 0256-7679 606 $aPolymerization$vPeriodicals 606 $aPolymers$vPeriodicals 606 $aPolimerització$2thub 608 $aRevistes electròniques$2thub 615 0$aPolymerization 615 0$aPolymers 615 7$aPolimerització 712 02$aZhongguo hua xue hui (Beijing, China) 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910307934303321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aChinese journal of polymer science$91925614 997 $aUNINA
