Understanding the Voices of a Diverse Electorate through the American Multiracial Panel Study (AMPS)

The United States is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse amidst historic levels of social and political conflict. In 2023, social psychologists Linda Tropp and Yuen Huo, communications scholar Seth K. Goldman, and political scientists Tatishe Nteta and Efrén Pérez launched the American Multiracial Panel Study (AMPS), a three-wave survey with over 4,000 Asian, Black, Latino, Multiracial, and White Americans, to better understand responses to racial diversity and the social and political impacts of these responses. In spring 2025, they will conduct a fourth wave to examine how the 2024 presidential election influenced political identities, experiences, and attitudes. They will analyze shifts in attitudes and identities across the four survey waves.
