“…Measurements of the Dependent Variable: The Structure of Leadership Evaluations Several trait assessments have been included in this study and have been measured in all three panel waves. According to the concept of candidate orientations, traits such as "likeability" and "trustworthiness" are often clas- sified as personal factors, while "leadership skills" and "problem-solving skills" are classified as performance-related factors (for example see Gabriel et al 2009). Hence, the latter variables can be seen as representing a dimension of competence, while likeability and trustworthiness potentially represent one dimension of warmth -or more broadly friendliness and integrity.…”

This book explores the impact of politicians’ expressions of anger on viewers. Electoral candidates may alter their emotional behaviour strategically during election campaigns as a means of gaining voters’ support. Hence, this study investigates empirically how expressions of anger affect leadership evaluations. An experiment was conducted to establish the impact of politicians’ expressions of emotions on viewers. This study focuses on politicians as a social group, as well as three politicians in particular: Chancellor Angela Merkel; Gregor Gysi, the former parliamentary leader of the Left; and Sigmar Gabriel, the former party leader of the Social Democrats. These three case studies are well-suited to testing the effects of expressions of emotion by political leaders with varying positions in the political system. Lena Masch is a lecturer at the Institute of Social Sciences at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf.

“…Unlike most extant research, our study does not focus exclusively on the candidates of the two major parties who compete for the office of head of government (Wattenberg 1991;Gabriel et al 2009;Wagner and Weßels 2012;Klein and Rosar 2016). While the chancellor candidates of the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats have always played a special role in federal election campaigns, the smaller parties also usually nominate lead candidates as an important element of personalized campaign strategies.…”

The Changing German Voter

2022

Over the past half century, the behavior of German voters has changed profoundly—at first rather gradually but during the last decade at accelerated speed. Electoral decision-making has become much more volatile, rendering election outcomes less predictable. Party system fragmentation intensified sharply. The success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) put an end to Germany’s exceptionality as one of the few European countries without a strong right-wing populist party. Utilizing a wide range of data compiled by the German Longitudinal Election Study, the book examines changing voters’ behavior in the context of changing parties, campaigns, and media during the period of its hitherto most dramatically increased fluidity at the 2009, 2013, and 2017 federal elections. Guided by the notions of realignment and dealignment, the study addresses three questions: How did the turbulences that increasingly characterize German electoral politics come about? How did they in turn condition voters’ decision-making? How were voters’ attitudes and choices affected by situational factors that pertained to the specifics of particular elections? The book demonstrates how traditional cleavages lost their grip on voters and a new socio-cultural line of conflict became the dominant axis of party competition. A series of major crises, but also programmatic shifts of the established parties promoted this development. It led to a segmentation of the party system that pits the right-wing populist AfD against the traditional parties. The book also demonstrates the relevance of coalition preferences, candidate images as well as media and campaign effects for voters’ attitudes, beliefs, and preferences.
