Abstract:
|
This paper uses the 1980 – 2004 versions of the ANES to study the role of emotion in the effect of party identification on a person’s vote in US presidential elections. Rather than adopting the usual procedure of dividing the emotion measures into separate dimensions of positive and negative affect, I treat each emotion as a complex measure of two dimensions: the degree of emotional energy aroused by a candidate and the extent to which this energy is positively or negatively valenced towards that candidate. The theoretical antecedents of my position lie in early work in the psychology of emotion and in the current manifestation of this work in “circumplex” approaches to emotion in psychology and sociology. Operationally, my position represnts my preference for the unrotated over the rotated rerpresentation of the two-dimensional solution that typically emerges in exploratory factor analyses of emotion reports. Empirically, my preference stems, first, from the fact that the valence and arousal dimensions of emotion correspond to valence and arousal components that appear in the person’s party identification and his or her vote and, second, from the support provided by the correlations of valence and arousal with criterion variables in the ANES that one can interpret as “pure” measures of either valence or arousal. As well, a comparison of the mean and variance of valence and arousal across the fourteen candidacies in the seven elctions highlights distinctive features of the different campaigns. |
