Effects of interparty deception detection in political news interviews,” paper presentation. National Communication Association 109th Annual Meeting, Mass Communication division, National Harbor, MD, United States.
Abstract: Informed by social identity theory and truth-default theory, we assess voters' reactions to combative political interviews. In Experiment 1, voters trust a politician more when an outgroup interviewer accuses the politician of deception than when the politician is interviewed by voters' ingroup. In Experiments 2 and 3, voters trust an ingroup politician interviewed by outgroup media more than an outgroup politician interviewed by voters' ingroup media, regardless of whether the politician is accused of deception.
