- Replication of "Why voters who value democracy participate in democratic backsliding" in Germany's multi-party context, Freitag et al. (2025). Outcome recorded: successful.
Consistent with the original findings, our replication study shows that correcting voters' misperceptions about the democratic commitment of out-partisans reduces their own willingness to subvert democratic norms, from 0.25 in the control group to 0.19 in the treatment group (on a 0-1 scale). In standardized terms, the observed treatment effect size (Cohen's d = 0.4) closely matches the original effect, exceeding it by 8%.
