Replication Data for: Negative Advertising and the Dynamics of Candidate Support
<|begin_of_text|><|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|> You are a research archivist expert in dataset metadata. Answer the question truthfully.  <|eot_id|><|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|> Here is the Description of a dataset. Description:'Scholars have spent a great deal of effort examining the effects of negative advertising on citizens' perceptions of candidates. Much of this work has used experimental designs and has produced mixed findings supporting one of two competing theories. First, negative ads may harm candidates who sponsor them because citizens tend to dislike negativity. Second, negativity may drive down citizens' support for the targeted candidate because the attacks give people reasons to reject the target. We argue that the mixed findings produced by prior research may be driven by (1) external validity problems inherent to experimental designs and (2) a disregard for campaigns dynamics. We present a critical test of these two theories using data drawn from 80 statewide elections - 37 gubernatorial and 43 U.S. Senate contests - from three election years ' .
