David E. Clementson & L. Fiore (AdPR MA student) (2023, Nov. 16-19). “Reaching across the aisle or feeding the base? 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.
