- 1. **Election-season opinion dynamics** – exploit the before/after panel to examine how campaign events (debates, the Comey letter, Election Day) shifted perceptions of crime, policing, or redistribution.
57
  2. **Stereotype activation & policy support** – estimate causal effects of suspect-race cues on punitive crime policies or welfare attitudes.
58
  3. **Replication exercises** – reproduce classic findings from ANES or GSS items using a contemporary MTurk sample; ideal for teaching regression, causal inference, or text analysis (e.g., coding open-ended crime causes in `Q10`).
59
  4. **Value trade-off scaling** – model latent moral or parenting value dimensions with the paired choice items (`Q33`–`Q36`).
