{"title":"‘Look at How Corrupt They Are!’: How Anti-Political Discourse from Politicians Affects Their Own Image and the Image of Politics","authors":"Dieter Dekeyser, Henk Roose","doi":"10.1080/15205436.2023.2282125","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15205436.2023.2282125","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn this article, we use a survey experiment (N = 1,626) to test whether anti-political Facebook messages from politicians improve the character evaluation of the messenger while damaging the image of politics. We take account of people’s preexisting anti-political attitudes and their support for the political messenger as important moderators. Results show that anti-political discourse from politicians has minimal effects on the attitudes of audiences toward the messenger and toward politics. We find limited support for three underlying mechanisms: anti-political messages give (some) audiences new impressions that improve the personal image of the messenger (impression formation), anti-political discourse from politicians alienates some of their supporters (backlash effect), and anti-political discourse has more effect on people who do not hold anti-political attitudes (attitudinal incongruence). Overall, our results show that politicians reap little benefit from using anti-political discourse, as such discourse may worsen their own image and the image of politics among certain audiences.DisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Participants exposed to an unfavored political party read a Facebook message from: Vlaams Belang (39.1%%), N-VA (10.6%), Open Vld (6.3%), CD&V (4.2%), sp.a/Vooruit (11.2%), Groen (10.4%), or PVDA (18.1%)..2 We use the package “lavaan” in R (Rosseel, Citation2012). All models were estimated using WLSMV estimation.3 Our interpretation of the mediation analysis assumes that all relevant mechanisms are considered. This assumption is tentative given that (a) some important variables might not have been considered in the mediation analysis and (b) the causal (cognitive) mechanisms linking the mediator to the outcome variable(s) were not directly observed. For a full discussion on the problem of unobserved variable bias (or confounders) in causal analysis see Imai et al.

We theorize that undifferentiated news—i.e. not explicitly distinguishing Muslims from terrorists—can accelerate these negative effects. In a quota-based 2 (news differentiation: differentiated and undifferentiated) × 2 (expert interviewee source: Muslim and non-Muslim) between-subjects experiment (N = 291), participants read news about Islamist terrorism. A control group received news unrelated to terror. Building on von Sikorski et al. (2017) and extending this line of research, we analyzed effects on explicit and implicit attitudes toward Muslims. Drawing on social identity, self-categorization and mediated intergroup contact theories, findings revealed that undifferentiated news increased hostile attitudes toward Muslims and attitudinal undifferentiation. However, undifferentiated news did not activate implicit attitudes. We also found that undifferentiated news had the strongest negative effects when coming from sources that are perceived as similar (i.e. non-Muslim).","PeriodicalId":47869,"journal":{"name":"Mass Communication and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136381292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
