It’s Time to Vote: The Effect of Matching Message Orientation and Temporal Frame on Political Persuasion
2009
Overview
What political candidates say during their campaign and when they say it are critical to their success. In three experiments, we show that abstract, “why”‐laden appeals are more persuasive than concrete, “how”‐laden appeals when voters’ decision is temporally distant; the reverse is true when the decision is imminent, and these results are strongest among those who are politically uninformed. These effects seem to be driven by a match between temporal distance and the abstractness of the message that leads to perceptions of fluency, and the ensuing “feels right” experience yields enhanced evaluations of the focal stimulus.
