社会科学家们早就知道，威胁局势会对社会政治态度产生强大的影响。这种现象的一个更戏剧性的例子是“围绕国旗效应”，其特征是美国总统的受欢迎程度急剧上升。先前的反弹效应模型强烈强调了焦虑和对安全的渴望作为这些支持变化的解释的作用。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个对比的观点，显示了对基于愤怒的概念化的支持，该概念化建立在早期的情绪评估研究之上。我们讨论了我们的发现与社会心理学和政治学文献中各种不同范式的理论和研究的相关性。
Social scientists have long known that threatening situations can have a powerful effect on sociopolitical attitudes. One of the more dramatic examples of this phenomenon is the “rally ’round the flag effect,” characterized by dramatic spikes in popularity of the American president. Previous models of rally effects have strongly emphasized the role of anxiety and the desire for security as explanations for these changes in support. In this article, we present a contrasting view, showing support for an anger-based conceptualization that builds upon earlier research on emotional appraisal. We discuss the relevance of our findings for theory and research across a variety of different paradigms in the social psychological and political science literature.
