[Mark Thompson-Kolar]

ICPSR today announced that the Voting Behavior: 2012 Election Web
site<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/instructors/setups2012> is
ready for use. It is a new SETUPS (Supplementary Empirical Teaching Units
in Political Science) module that provides students the ability to analyze
an accessible dataset drawn from the 2012 American National Election Study
(ANES) survey of the American electorate. (The ANES is funded by the
National Science Foundation.)


Charles Prysby, professor of political science at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro,  and Carmine Scavo, associate professor of
political science at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C.,
developed the new module to give students the opportunity to analyze data
from the most recent presidential election.


Access to the Voting Behavior: 2012 Election module is open to the general
public. Membership in APSA or ICPSR is not required.


Using the SETUPS Voting Behavior: 2012 Election module:


   - Instructors easily can integrate the SETUPS exercises into the
   curriculum.
   - Students can analyze data from the ANES surveys without need for other
   statistical software.
   - Users can learn key issues in the campaigns and reasons why voters
   choose a candidate.
   - Students can gain understanding of key concepts related to research
   methods and data analysis.

The American Political Science Association (APSA) and the Inter-university
Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) have collaborated to
develop and distribute the SETUPS instructional modules for four decades.
For users interested in historical perspectives, the
