“…Finally, debates usually generate a lot of attention both from media and from general public, which means increased public discussion that ultimately benefits the voters (Benoit, 2007(Benoit, , 2014a(Benoit, , 2014b. Several studies on the effects of watching televised debates indicate that not only does watching these debates increase the knowledge of the voters, but also has the capability of affecting their final voting decisions, especially in cases where they were originally undecided (e.g., Benoit, Hansen, & Verser, 2003;Lemert, 1993;McKinney & Warner, 2013;Pfau, 2002;Schrott, 1990). Therefore, it is clear that televised presidential elections merit scholarly attention.…”

This study applied the functional theory of political campaign discourse, developed for political campaigns in the United States to two televised presidential debates in the 2012 presidential elections in Finland. Acclaims were the most preferred statement by the candidates, with agreements being the least preferred. Policy was discussed more than character during the debates. General goals and ideals were used more frequently to acclaim than to attack. Results are generally consistent with the results of previous studies of presidential elections in the US and other countries. However, differences did emerge: the classical functional categories were supplemented by a new category, the role of the moderator as an attacker in the debate is emphasized, the significance of the diminishing role of the Finnish Presidency is of significance, and the fact that one of the two candidates was the first openly homosexual presidential candidate likely influenced the debates and the election.

“…in Graber 1991 and1993), through analysis of aggregate changes in public opinion over the course of a campaign (e.g. Farah and Klein 1989;Frankovic 1993), or through analysis of short-term changes in vote intentions or voters' evaluations of the candidates or parties in a given election (Bartels 1993;Markus and Converse 1979;Granberg and Holmberg 1988;Markus 1982;Schrott 1990a). While all of these studies are suggestive, none of the crosssectional studies can show precisely how voter preferences may have changed over time, and none of the longitudinal studies span a long enough time frame to determine the "bottom line" influence of campaigns on individual vote choice as well.…”

Nutzungsbedingungen:Dieser Text wird unter einer Deposit-Lizenz (Keine Weiterverbreitung -keine Bearbeitung) AbstractUsing national survey panel data collected in Germany during the 1990 Bundestag election campaign, we develop a model to assess the effect of the campaign on individual votes and the election outcome.We find that the dominant effects of the campaign on German voters, as in the Lazarsfeld et. al. studies from the 1940s and in more recent U.S. research, were the "reinforcement" of earlier preferences and the "activation" of latent vote dispositions based on fundamental individual attitudes such as party affiliation and left-right ideology.At the same time, the analyses shows that the number of campaign converts, those who vote against their dispositions and prior preferences, was approximately 13% of the electorate. The vote division among these individuals was overwhelmingly progovernment, suggesting that the 1990 German campaign altered a sufficient number of votes to turn what was an even contest, based on the electorate's initial political dispositions, into a solid government coalition victory.The results are discussed in terms of their theoretical as well as normative implications.
