这项研究表明,投票给极右翼在移民领域有一个核心的情感维度,其影响取决于人们对政治制度的信任程度,并同样影响人们对威胁的估计。(德国,荷兰和英国)在两个时间点(2015年和2019年)。结果我们首先表明,愤怒,而不是恐惧,构成的情感机制,支持反移民的态度和支持极右翼之间的关系。其次,愤怒与政治信任水平较低的人中的极右翼投票更紧密相关。第三,愤怒会影响个人如何寻求和处理有关移民的信息,导致高估的感知threaten.ConclusionThese研究结果揭示了一个关键的难题的选举行为:为什么一些公民与反移民的态度选择激进的政治,而其他人没有。
ObjectiveThis study demonstrates that voting for the far right has a central affective dimension within the domain of immigration, the effect of which relies on the level of trust one has toward political institutions and equally colors one's estimation of threat.MethodsWe use representative data from two studies across three countries (Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) at two time points (2015 and 2019).ResultsWe first show that anger, rather than fear, constitutes the emotional mechanism underpinning the relationship between anti‐immigration attitudes and support for the far right. Second, anger is associated more strongly with far‐right voting among those with lower levels of political trust. Third, anger affects how individuals seek out and process information about immigration, resulting in the overestimation of the perceived threat.ConclusionThese findings shed light on a key puzzle of electoral behavior: Why do some citizens with anti‐immigrant attitudes opt for radical politics, whereas others do not.
