Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: How does negativity in Presidential campaigns affect voters? Analysis of a panel survey and field experiment conducted during the 1996 presidential election, demonstrates that emotions aroused by negative communication become part of a citizen?s dynamic construction of the campaign. Different types of negative communication influence citizens? assessments of the candidates, their level of political trust, and their attention to the campaign. The first type of campaign negativity, attack advertising, can diminish positive feelings about the sponsoring candidate and may have a negative, if not long-term, impact on the citizen?s likelihood of voting. The second type of negativity, cynical news coverage of the campaign, which questions candidates? strategies and motives, decreases citizens? feelings of trust in government, resulting in voter demobilization. The last type of negativity, emotional appeals that may be perceived as frightening, can have a constructive impact by leading voters to seek information. The study concludes by discussing the political implications of these effects and what, if anything, can be done to enhance the constructive effects and moderate the destructive impact of negative campaigning.
