Professor Jung’s research is in comparative party politics, political behavior, and political psychology, with geographic interest in Western democracies. Dr. Jung works on understanding the types and effects of information that mass publics are exposed to in sociopolitical life—including messages from political parties, the news media, and social surroundings. Complementing this interest, she also studies individual-level attitudinal and behavioral constructs that likely have consequences for politics yet have been overlooked in prior work. Specifically, her work has focused on understanding moral rhetoric from political parties and the moral underpinnings of public opinion and voter behavior. But in addition, she works on projects that examine how parties communicate to their support base; the influence of media frames about economic issues; and social norms about gender and gender roles. Jung has published in the American Journal of Political Science, the American Political Science Review, and Cambridge University Press, among other outlets. She serves as editor of Research & Politics. Before joining Rice, she was at the University of Houston and the University of Oxford.
