Abstract

Many factors contributed to support for Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election, among them media influences. Morgan and Shanahan (2017) found that television viewing was associated with support for Trump, mediated through authoritarianism. In light of the changes in the political and media environments during Trump’s presidency, our study examined whether Morgan and Shanahan’s (2017) findings still held in the 2020 US presidential election. Replicating their findings, we found that authoritarianism still mediates the relationship between television viewing and Trump support. As in the original study, the indirect effect is moderated by political ideology and gender, with stronger indirect effects among liberals and females.

电视、威权主义和对特朗普的支持:复制

许多因素促成了唐纳德·特朗普在2016年美国总统大选中的支持，其中包括媒体的影响。Morgan和Shanahan（2017）发现，在威权主义的调解下，观看电视与支持特朗普有关。鉴于特朗普总统任期内政治和媒体环境的变化，我们的研究考察了摩根和沙纳汉（2017）的调查结果在2020年美国总统大选中是否仍然有效。复制他们的发现，我们发现威权主义仍然在电视观看和特朗普支持之间起着中介作用。与最初的研究一样，间接效应受到政治意识形态和性别的调节，自由主义者和女性的间接效应更强。
