In another study, participants read false blog reports arguing that Obama is a Muslim or a socialist, or that McCain is senile. Before reading the blogs, participants had either circled their age group or their race. There was also a control group not primed to think about race or age at all. On average, McCain supporters said there is a 56 percent likelihood Obama is a Muslim. But among those who were primed to think about race, the likelihood jumped to 77 percent. Since the participants were primarily white, Kosloff said this shows that simply thinking about a social category that differentiated participants from Obama was enough to get them to believe the smear. Similarly, participants undecided about the presidential candidates said there is a 43 percent chance McCain is senile - a number that increased to 73 percent when they were primed with age. Since they were college students, thinking about age equated with thinking about a social category that differentiated them from McCain. Undecided participants who read about Obama being a socialist believed the smear about 25 percent of the time - a number that jumped to 62 percent when they were primed with race. "Even though being a socialist has nothing to do with race, irrationally they tied the two together," Kosloff said. This is in line with a philosophy I have always held, that people tend to accept negative information when the subject is part of a group they associate as 'not' them if you divide people, you can easily get one side to look down on or believe the worst about the other |
