“…Based on a sensitivity analysis, the health consequences of election campaigns for older adults appear to be greater than for 20 year olds. In addition, while frequent, large campaign rallies are most common in Taiwan, the resurgence of populism in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere has brought back the popularity of campaign rallies (Snyder & Yousaf, 2020). As a result, other countries may experience similar transmission of illness during election campaigns to what we document in Taiwan.…”

Despite the best efforts of governments to mitigate conflict during elections, there is evidence that elections can adversely affect health. Most studies focus on mental health, finding that higher levels of psychological distress occur during campaign periods, on Election Day and following the election. For example, Lotto (2016) and Williams and Medlock (2017) suggest that the stigmatization and marginalization of minorities, immigrants and the poor in recent U.S. election campaigns led to anxiety and psychological distress among the targeted groups. Likewise, clinically significant stress was more commonly reported by young women and others who were more likely to be disadvantaged by the election outcome (DeJonckheere et al., 2018;Hagan et al., 2020).Similar levels of stress and anxiety have been documented in India, where political attacks on minority groups and liberals escalated in the run-up to the 2019 general election (Ganesan, 2018), and in Taiwan, psychiatrists reported a 30% increase in anxiety attacks and related disorders in some hospitals during the 2012 election campaign (The Telegraph, 2012). The pathology surrounding negative psychological reactions to political campaigns is so common that it has been referred to in several countries as "election syndrome" or "election stress disorder" (

“…H. Weaver et al, 2019). This does not seem to have reduced the extent or efficacy of other means of campaigning (Snyder & Yousaf, 2020), however. It cannot be overlooked that the popularization of digital technologies does not fundamentally alter the goals of campaigning but rather provides a new means of accomplishing those goals (Jungherr et al, 2020).…”

Courting Coverage: Rhetorical Newsworthiness Cues and Candidate-Media Agenda Convergence in Presidential Primaries

What can political candidates do to make their agenda more enticing to journalists? This study argues that the answer lies in appealing to newsworthiness values—specifically conflict, human interest, and simplicity—via rhetorical newsworthiness cues. Using an original data set of announcement speeches and national news media coverage from 1984 to 2016, this study tests this argument and finds that candidates whose speeches include more anger and candidate-based appeals, which appeal to journalists’ preference for conflict and human-interest stories, have their issue agenda covered with greater proportionality. It concludes with a discussion of the implications of these incentives on the electorate.
