Survey Data on Audio, Video, and Text Impact on High Court Legitimacy

Replication data from two survey experiments testing if audio or video recordings of judicial proceedings shape perceptions of high court legitimacy differently than written transcripts. The data was authored by Andrew Stone and published by the Journal of Experimental Political Science, with a last recorded update in April 2026. The experiments used real-world case excerpts from the US and UK.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between media format and court legitimacy evaluations based on the described survey experiments.
• Investigating the role of conveyed emotions and perceived political inclinations of judges on public attitudes.
• Replicating or extending null-result studies on the method of delivery for judicial communications.
• Studying how participant political preferences interact with different formats of judicial information.

Strengths

• Data supports a published experimental study in political science, offering direct replication potential.
• Experiments used real-world case excerpts from two jurisdictions (US and UK), enhancing ecological validity.
• Analysis accounted for multiple factors including judge emotions, perceived political inclinations, and participant preferences.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analyses.
• The dataset description does not specify file formats, license, or sample data.
