PART IV – SUMMARY OF STUDY ACTIVITIES
Submission of a copy of a grant application does not replace completion of this form. Please
respond to each item. Incomplete forms will be returned.
1) Provide background information for the study in the box below, including the objective of the
proposed research, purpose, research question, hypothesis and any other relevant
information.

A democratic political system operates on the grounds of compromise. Without this critical
element, Congress’ ability to pass important legislation is severely damaged. This concept was quite
evident during the recent debt-ceiling debates, a situation that amplified the severity of the political
divide between democrats and republicans. As America and the rest of the world watched in
trepidation, Congress fell into a downward spiral of poor leadership and nonexistent cooperation. As
the deadline to reach a deal drew closer, the stock markets took violent swings due to the uncertainty
investors felt about Congress’ ability to work together and reach a comprehensive, balanced plan to
address the budget deficit.
On August 5th, 2011, Standard and Poor’s lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the
United States of America to AA+ from AAA. According to S&P’s website, “…the downgrade reflects
our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political
institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than
we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.”
( www.standardandpoors.com).
This fiasco, as well as other examples of the same inflexible behavior on the part of those
individuals whose job it is to work together in the best interest of this nation, has made clear the
deepening divide along party lines and the inability of those on either side to come together and work
efficiently. The question then, is whether this epidemic of partisan extremism is confined to America’s
politicians, or if this trend is evident in the political views of everyday American citizens as well.
The current study is predicting that there will be differences in the willingness to compromise
between democrats and republicans. In addition, the researchers will analyze correlations between each
demographic factor as it relates to the individuals’ willingness to compromise.
2) Describe the research design of the study in the box below.
Single administration survey examined as a Correlational study.
3) Describe the tasks that participants will be asked to perform in the box below. Include a
step-by-step description of the procedures you plan to use with your subjects. Provide the
approximate duration of subject participation for each procedure. If data collection
instruments will be used, indicate the time necessary to complete them, and the frequency
and method of administration, such as telephone, mail, or face-to-face interview.

This study will be conducted as an anonymous survey administered either by the researcher via a paper
and pencil survey or online using the CheckBox survey program available through Northeastern State
University. Participants will first read and agree to the terms described in the informed consent
document. Participants will be given scenarios describing a political issue in which republicans and
democrats tend to disagree. Participants will be asked to indicate whether or not they would support the
described legislation as well as how willing they would be to compromise. In addition, basic
demographic information will be collected including political affiliation, age, gender, and education
level. Once participants have completed the packet, they will be thanked for their time and allowed to
ask any questions about the study. We anticipate that the entire survey will take most participants less
than 20 minutes to complete.

person or online through the use of flyers placed in various locations on campus. With the permission
of individual instructors, the researcher will recruit students in person by making short announcements
in class. Participants who choose to participate in the study can either complete the online version at
their convenience or may contact the researcher to make an appointment to complete the study in
person. Thus, the identity of anyone who chooses to participate will be kept confidential.

Title of Project: Bipartisan Negotiations
Principal Investigator(s): This study is being conducted by XXXXXXX under the direction of Dr. April
Phillips (philli48@nsuok.edu)
Purpose of the Study: The current study aims to explore factors that may influence ones’ willingness to reach
bipartisan compromise.
Procedures to be Followed: After participants read and understand this informed consent form, they can begin
filling out the survey. The Bipartisan Negotiation Survey addresses four pieces of controversial legislation from
the state or federal governments. Each issue is followed by three arguments from both those who oppose and
those who support the proposed legislation. After participants read the arguments, they are asked a series of
questions about their opinion on the issue. Participants will then be asked to provide some demographic
information.
Discomforts and Risks: There are no risks associated with your participation in this study and we do not
anticipate any discomfort.
Benefits: Although there are no direct benefits to you for participating in our study, your participation will
allow us to expand our knowledge about how people approach controversial negotiations. Implications of this
study may also be used to better understand recent political trends and how they relate to the political beliefs of
citizens of this country.
Costs or Compensation: Your participation in this study is strictly voluntary. There is no cost or compensation
associated with your participation in this study.
Duration: Approximately 20 minutes
Statement of Confidentiality: Your participation in this study will be kept completely confidential. We will

Bipartisan Negotiation Study

Bipartisan Negotiation Survey
Instructions: You will be presented with four political issues. Following each issue will be three arguments from
those who oppose the legislation and three arguments from those who support it. After reading all arguments
from both sides of the issue, respond to the questions that follow regarding your position on the issue and your
willingness to compromise.
For the purposes of this survey, Compromise will be defined as follows: Sacrificing at least half of one’s
demands and accepting at least half of the demands of the opposite party in order to reach a conclusion on the
issue (or) Successfully working through the issue with the opposite party and reaching an agreement by means
of developing an alternative plan which both parties support.
1. Raising taxes for Americans with an annual income over 1 million dollars to a minimum 30 percent
effective tax rate.
Opposition Argues:
• Raising taxes in a weak economy will only make the economy suffer more.
•

Raising taxes on millionaires is punishing people for being successful and discourages them from
making money.

•

The tax rates for the top 1% of earners has already increased 12% since 1986, it would not be fair to
continue this increase.

Supporters Argue:
• The overall income for the top 1% of earners has increased 119% since 1986, meaning the income
disparity between rich and poor has increased dramatically.
• The budget deficit cannot be closed by spending cuts alone, there has to be some tax increase as well.
•

A quarter of American millionaires pay lower tax rates(less than 26.5%) than millions of middle class
earners.

American Jobs Act
Opposition Argues:
• The provisions of the Jobs Act are not enough to jump-start the economy.
•

Tax cuts and a stimulus package did not help the economy in 2009, why would it work now.

•

Proponents of the Jobs Act claim it can be paid for without increasing the budget deficit, but that does
not appear to be realistic.

Supporters Argue:
• The bill will put Americans back to work, therefore putting money in their pockets to stimulate the
economy.
•

The bill includes investments in repairing and rebuilding infrastructure across the country, which would
also create jobs for many Americans.

•

The bill would prohibit employers from discriminating against the unemployed and would provide a
$4,000 tax credit to employers for hiring long-term unemployed workers.

3. Individual healthcare mandate
Opposition Argues:
• Congress is exceeding its authority by requiring people to purchase health insurance or pay a fee.
Page 14 of 17

Revision Date: 9/6/2011
NORTHEASTERN STATE UNIVERSITY
Institutional Review Board
•

The legislation is infringing on individuals liberties, by forcing people to enter into the healthcare
market against their will.
• The mandate gives the federal government too much control over the way people spend their money.
Supporters Argue:
• When individuals without healthcare coverage receive healthcare they cannot pay for, those who are
insured and the taxpayers end up paying the bill.
•

The mandate is a key part of legislation that would extend healthcare coverage to more than 30 million
uninsured people.

•

The legislation would prohibit insurance carriers from discriminating against individuals with preexisting health problems.

4. Eliminate collective bargaining rights from public employee unions (Wisconsin bill). Opposition Argues:
• Removing collective bargaining rights may not have any effect on the budget deficit, which the
proposed law claims it will. Texas, for example, gives public employees no collective bargaining rights
and has a large budget deficit.
• Collective bargaining balances power between employer and employee, allowing employees to negotiate
for higher pay, more benefits, or better working conditions.
• By accepting the International Labor Organization's 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and
Rights at Work, the US pledged 'to promote and to realize ... fundamental rights' defined in the
declaration, the first of which is 'freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to
collective bargaining.'"
Supporters Argue:
• The law is necessary to help close the states’ $137 million budget gap.
Page 15 of 17

Revision Date: 9/6/2011
NORTHEASTERN STATE UNIVERSITY
Institutional Review Board
•
•

Public-sector employees have too much bargaining power, while most private sector employees have
little or no bargaining rights.
Taxpayers are paying for the salaries and benefits of public employees, but they do not get to be
involved when unions and politicians bargain for benefits, and have no say in how their tax dollars are
spent on public services.

Please respond to each item. Incomplete forms will be returned. 1) Provide background information for the study in the box below, including the objective of the proposed research, purpose, research question, hypothesis and any other relevant information. A democratic political system operates on the grounds of compromise. Without this critical element, Congress’ ability to pass important legislation is severely damaged. This concept was quite evident during the recent debt-ceiling debates, a situation that amplified the severity of the political divide between democrats and republicans. As America and the rest of the world watched in trepidation, Congress fell into a downward spiral of poor leadership and nonexistent cooperation. As the deadline to reach a deal drew closer, the stock markets took violent swings due to the uncertainty investors felt about Congress’ ability to work together and reach a comprehensive, balanced plan to address the budget deficit. On August 5th, 2011, Standard and Poor’s lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America to AA+ from AAA. According to S&P’s website, “…the downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenges to a degree more than we envisioned when we assigned a negative outlook to the rating on April 18, 2011.” ( www.standardandpoors.com). This fiasco, as well as other examples of the same inflexible behavior on the part of those individuals whose job it is to work together in the best interest of this nation, has made clear the deepening divide along party lines and the inability of those on either side to come together and work efficiently. The question then, is whether this epidemic of partisan extremism is confined to America’s politicians, or if this trend is evident in the political views of everyday American citizens as well. The current study is predicting that there will be differences in the willingness to compromise between democrats and republicans. In addition, the researchers will analyze correlations between each demographic factor as it relates to the individuals’ willingness to compromise. 2) Describe the research design of the study in the box below. Single administration survey examined as a Correlational study. 3) Describe the tasks that participants will be asked to perform in the box below. Include a step-by-step description of the procedures you plan to use with your subjects. Provide the approximate duration of subject participation for each procedure. If data collection instruments will be used, indicate the time necessary to complete them, and the frequency and method of administration, such as telephone, mail, or face-to-face interview. This study will be conducted as an anonymous survey administered either by the researcher via a paper and pencil survey or online using the CheckBox survey program available through Northeastern State University. Participants will first read and agree to the terms described in the informed consent document. Participants will be given scenarios describing a political issue in which republicans and democrats tend to disagree. Participants will be asked to indicate whether or not they would support the described legislation as well as how willing they would be to compromise. In addition, basic demographic information will be collected including political affiliation, age, gender, and education level. Once participants have completed the packet, they will be thanked for their time and allowed to ask any questions about the study. We anticipate that the entire survey will take most participants less than 20 minutes to complete. Page 5 of 17 Revision Date: 9/6/2011

  • 13. NORTHEASTERN STATE UNIVERSITY Institutional Review Board Appendix C Bipartisan Negotiation Study Bipartisan Negotiation Survey Instructions: You will be presented with four political issues. Following each issue will be three arguments from those who oppose the legislation and three arguments from those who support it. After reading all arguments from both sides of the issue, respond to the questions that follow regarding your position on the issue and your willingness to compromise. For the purposes of this survey, Compromise will be defined as follows: Sacrificing at least half of one’s demands and accepting at least half of the demands of the opposite party in order to reach a conclusion on the issue (or) Successfully working through the issue with the opposite party and reaching an agreement by means of developing an alternative plan which both parties support. 1. Raising taxes for Americans with an annual income over 1 million dollars to a minimum 30 percent effective tax rate. Opposition Argues: • Raising taxes in a weak economy will only make the economy suffer more. • Raising taxes on millionaires is punishing people for being successful and discourages them from making money. • The tax rates for the top 1% of earners has already increased 12% since 1986, it would not be fair to continue this increase. Supporters Argue: • The overall income for the top 1% of earners has increased 119% since 1986, meaning the income disparity between rich and poor has increased dramatically. • The budget deficit cannot be closed by spending cuts alone, there has to be some tax increase as well. • A quarter of American millionaires pay lower tax rates(less than 26.5%) than millions of middle class earners.

Supporters Argue: • The bill will put Americans back to work, therefore putting money in their pockets to stimulate the economy. • The bill includes investments in repairing and rebuilding infrastructure across the country, which would also create jobs for many Americans. • The bill would prohibit employers from discriminating against the unemployed and would provide a $4,000 tax credit to employers for hiring long-term unemployed workers.

Individual healthcare mandate Opposition Argues: • Congress is exceeding its authority by requiring people to purchase health insurance or pay a fee. Page 14 of 17 Revision Date: 9/6/2011
  • 15. NORTHEASTERN STATE UNIVERSITY Institutional Review Board • The legislation is infringing on individuals liberties, by forcing people to enter into the healthcare market against their will. • The mandate gives the federal government too much control over the way people spend their money. Supporters Argue: • When individuals without healthcare coverage receive healthcare they cannot pay for, those who are insured and the taxpayers end up paying the bill. • The mandate is a key part of legislation that would extend healthcare coverage to more than 30 million uninsured people. • The legislation would prohibit insurance carriers from discriminating against individuals with preexisting health problems.

Eliminate collective bargaining rights from public employee unions (Wisconsin bill). Opposition Argues: • Removing collective bargaining rights may not have any effect on the budget deficit, which the proposed law claims it will. Texas, for example, gives public employees no collective bargaining rights and has a large budget deficit. • Collective bargaining balances power between employer and employee, allowing employees to negotiate for higher pay, more benefits, or better working conditions. • By accepting the International Labor Organization's 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the US pledged 'to promote and to realize ... fundamental rights' defined in the declaration, the first of which is 'freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining.'" Supporters Argue: • The law is necessary to help close the states’ $137 million budget gap. Page 15 of 17 Revision Date: 9/6/2011
  • 16. NORTHEASTERN STATE UNIVERSITY Institutional Review Board • • Public-sector employees have too much bargaining power, while most private sector employees have little or no bargaining rights. Taxpayers are paying for the salaries and benefits of public employees, but they do not get to be involved when unions and politicians bargain for benefits, and have no say in how their tax dollars are spent on public services.
