Predicting the Vote: Implicit Attitudes as Predictors of the Future Behavior of Decided and Undecided Voters

Abstract: Two studies assessed the predictive validity of implicit political attitudes in relation to voting behavior. In Study 1, we demonstrated the validity of the adopted measure (i.e., the IAT;Greenwald, McGhee, & Schwartz, 1998)

“…Indeed, like Friese et al (2012) or Arcuri et al (2008), our results support the postulate of an implicit attitude that precedes future behavioral intention, even though the individual may not be aware of this intention (Gawronski et al, 2015). Galdi, Gawronski, Arcuri, and Friese (2012) were able to demonstrate that the explicit attitude toward the entry of Turkey into the European Union was only predictive of selective exposure to information on the subject for people who already held a firm opinion.…”

“…Our findings confirm claims about the effectiveness of party campaigning made by previous research (e.g., Fisher et al, 2015; Górecki & Marsh, 2012; Green & Gerber, 2015), suggesting that personal campaign efforts pay off. It almost seems as if interpersonal party contact “shuts down” people’s defense mechanisms with regard to information selection and processing, and thus makes them more susceptible to persuasion efforts (Arcuri et al, 2008). …”

“…Prior work has further indicated that electoral choices may be influenced by the way in which political information is gathered, processed, and presented in the weeks leading up to Election Day (e.g., Arcuri, Castelli, Galdi, Zogmaister, & Amadori, 2008). For instance, informed voters perceive the costs of voting as lower and the benefits as higher, which increases turnout among this group (Karp & Banducci, 2007).…”

“…Clinical psychologists have used implicit attitude measures of fear associations to examine the efficacy of phobia interventions (Teachman & Woody, 2003) and implicit attitude measures of death/suicide associations to predict suicide attempts (Nock et al, 2010). In the realm of political psychology, undecided voters' voting behavior has been predicted using implicit policy attitude measures (Arcuri, Castelli, Galdi, Zogmaister, & Amadori, 2008). Measures of implicit attitudes are, perhaps, most prevalent in research on stereotyping and prejudice.…”
