Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Abstract: This paper reports the findings from an experiment on the effect of threatening media on perceptions of threat and foreign policy opinion. The treatments varied the medium of news (TV v. newspaper), the level of threat (threatening v. non-threatening), and the visual content (threatening v. neutral). Democrats and Republicans react to the treatments in opposite ways. In a condition with threatening information and threatening visuals, Republicans report being more threatened while Democrats report being less threatened. Additionally, Democrats react to the threatening visuals by decreasing support for the president’s handling of terrorism and the Iraq war while Republicans react by increasing support. Reasons for this polarization are discussed.
