Donald Trump as a cultural revolt against perceived communication restriction: Priming political correctness norms causes more Trump support

Abstract: Donald Trump has consistently performed better politically than his negative polling indicators suggested he would. Although there is a tendency to think of Trump support as reflecting ideological conservatism, we argue that part of his support during the election came from a non-ideological source: The preponderant salience of norms restricting communication (Political Correctness – or PC – norms). This perspective suggests that these norms, while successfully reducing the amount of negative communication in … Show more

“…Mturk samples allow for valid measurement of constructs, which are generally lacking among nationally representative samples (e.g., Strother, Piston, & Ogorzalek, ). Mturk offers diverse samples (Buhrmester, Kwang, & Gosling, ; Huff & Tingley, ), is a valid recruitment tool for political research (Clifford, Jewell, & Waggoner, ), and has been widely used for political research (e.g., Choma & Hanoch, , Hayward, Hornsey, Tropp, & Barlow, ), including research on support for Donald Trump specifically (Blankenship, Savas, Frederick, & Stewart, ; Choma & Hanoch, ; Conway III, Repke, & Houck, ). It provides far greater heterogeneity for testing political hypotheses regarding support for Donald Trump than student samples (e.g., Cohen, Solomon, & Kaplin, ) or other nonrepresentative sampling methods (Crowson & Brandes, ).…”

“…To accomplish this, we recruited a nationwide U.S. sample through Mechanical Turk and had them participate in a study that was identical in most respects to Study 1 . Mechanical Turk has been particularly validated for use as a representative sample for research related to politics and political ideology (see, e.g., Clifford, Jewell, & Waggoner, ; Conway, Repke, & Houck, ) and generally shows similar results as other samples (for an example, see Houck, Conway, & Repke, ).…”

“…People discuss things differently when they are in public than when they are in private. In public, people are more strategic —and a large number of psychological processes apply in public than occur in private‐only cognitions and emotions (see, e.g., Conway, Repke, & Houck, ; Conway & Schaller, , ; Conway et al, ). This is especially the case in the context of politics, where strategic public rhetoric is a cornerstone of politicians’ persuasion efforts.…”
