Facial expression judgments support a socio-relational model, rather than a negativity bias model of political psychology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2014
Abstract
Self-reported opinions and judgments may be more rooted in expressive biases than in cognitive processing biases, and ultimately operate within a broader behavioral style for advertising the capacity – versus the trustworthiness – dimension of human reciprocity potential. Our analyses of facial expression judgments of likely voters are consistent with this thesis, and directly contradict one major prediction from the authors' “negativity-bias” model.
