摘要

本研究探讨了这样一种观点,即相对于温和派政治领导人,激进派政治领导人对追随者的激励更为强烈。我们的这一观点源于意义追求理论,该理论认为,渴望感到自己的重要性和意义是人类的基本动机之一。我们预计,当选民认为政治人物激进而非温和时,他们会更愿意支持这些政治人物,因为这些激进人物的目标对选民个人而言更为重要。因此,支持者会从支持这些目标中体验到更大的个人意义,这将促使他们代表候选人参与其中。在横跨两次美国总统选举(2016 年和 2020 年)和波兰议会选举(2023 年)的五项研究(N = 2154)(包括两项预先登记的重复研究)中,我们发现我们的预测得到了支持。结果表明,当追随者认为他们的候选人更激进时,他们会认为领导人的目标对个人更重要,体验到更强的个人意义感,并表示更愿意为候选人做出牺牲。这些结果有助于人们理解激进政治行为者的吸引力。

Motivational underpinnings of support for radical political leaders
The present research examined the idea that followers are more strongly motivated by radical as opposed to moderate political leaders. We derived this idea from the significance quest theory that posits that a desire to feel important and meaningful is one of the fundamental human motives. We expected that voters would be more willing to support political actors when they perceived them as radical as opposed to moderate, because the goals of those radical actors would be more personally important for voters. Consequently, supporters would experience a greater sense of personal significance from supporting such goals, which would motivate them to get engaged on behalf of their candidates. In five studies (N = 2154), including two preregistered replications, spanning two US presidential elections (2016, 2020) and Polish parliamentary elections (2023), we found support for our predictions. The results showed that as followers perceived their candidates as more radical, they viewed the leaders' goals as more personally important, experienced a greater sense of personal significance, and expressed a higher willingness to make sacrifices for the candidates. These results contribute to the understanding of the appeal of radical political actors.
