To what extent do people perceive the election of President Trump as the work of evil forces, a violation of the sacred, or the will of God? Demonization and desecration are negative spiritual appraisals associated with psychological maladjustment across political and relational contexts. Sanctification refers to the imbuing of persons, objects, or events with sacred qualities or as manifestations of a higher power. The authors examined the prevalence and role of spiritual appraisals related to the 2016 U.S. presidential election result on psychological adjustment and behaviors using a cross‐sectional online sample of 252 American voters. Approximately one‐fifth of participants sanctified the election of President Trump to some degree. Conversely, approximately one‐third of participants endorsed some level of negative spiritual appraisals. Desecration and demonization also uniquely predicted maladjustment. Moreover, the interactive effect between vote and negative spiritual appraisals accounted for unique variance in maladjustment. At higher levels of demonization and desecration, those who voted for President Trump reported greater difficulties with emotion regulation than those who voted against President Trump. Negative spiritual appraisals also moderated the relations between vote and thought suppression, in addition to vote and information seeking behavior. For the small fraction of Trump voters with negative spiritual appraisals, their efforts to suppress misgivings, struggle with emotions, and seek information may be understood as attempts to reduce cognitive dissonance.

神的手还是魔鬼的工作?2016年美国总统大选后的精神评估和心理调整

在何种程度上人们认为特朗普总统选举作为邪恶势力的工作,违反了神圣的,或上帝的旨意?妖魔化和亵渎是与跨政治和关系背景下的心理失调相关的负面精神评估。成圣是指以神圣的品质或更高能力的体现来灌输人,物体或事件。作者使用252名美国选民的在线横截面样本,研究了与2016年美国总统大选结果有关的心理调节和行为有关的精神评估的普遍性和作用。大约五分之一的参与者在某种程度上使特朗普总统的选举成圣。相反,大约三分之一的参与者认可了某种程度的负面精神评估。亵渎和妖魔化也可以独特地预测失调。此外,投票与否定性的精神评价之间的相互作用导致了适应不良的独特差异。在更高程度的妖魔化和亵渎行为下,那些投票支持特朗普总统的人在情绪调节上的困难要大于那些投票反对特朗普总统的人。消极的精神评估也缓解了投票和思想抑制之间的关系,除了投票和寻求信息的行为。对于少数获得负面精神评价的特朗普选民而言,他们压制疑虑,与情感抗争和寻求信息的努力可能被理解为减少认知失调的尝试。投票与否定的精神评估之间的互动效应导致了适应不良的独特差异。在更高程度的妖魔化和亵渎行为下,那些投票支持特朗普总统的人在情绪调节上的困难要大于那些投票反对特朗普总统的人。消极的精神评估也缓解了投票和思想抑制之间的关系,除了投票和寻求信息的行为。对于少数获得负面精神评价的特朗普选民而言,他们压制疑虑,与情感抗争和寻求信息的努力可能被理解为减少认知失调的尝试。投票与否定的精神评估之间的互动效应导致了适应不良的独特差异。在更高程度的妖魔化和亵渎行为下,那些投票支持特朗普总统的人在情绪调节上的困难要大于那些投票反对特朗普总统的人。消极的精神评估也缓解了投票和思想抑制之间的关系,除了投票和寻求信息的行为。对于少数获得负面精神评价的特朗普选民而言,他们压制疑虑,与情感抗争和寻求信息的努力可能被理解为减少认知失调的尝试。那些投票支持特朗普总统的人在情绪调节方面的困难要大于那些投票反对特朗普总统的人。消极的精神评估也缓解了投票和思想抑制之间的关系,除了投票和寻求信息的行为。对于少数获得负面精神评价的特朗普选民而言,他们压制疑虑,与情感抗争和寻求信息的努力可能被理解为减少认知失调的尝试。那些投票支持特朗普总统的人比没有投票支持特朗普总统的人在情绪调节方面遇到了更大的困难。消极的精神评估也缓解了投票和思想抑制之间的关系,除了投票和寻求信息的行为。对于少数获得负面精神评价的特朗普选民而言,他们压制疑虑,与情感抗争和寻求信息的努力可能被理解为减少认知失调的尝试。
