This work separately applies two psychology frameworks—the three dimensions along which people are evaluated (competence, morality, and warmth) and individual sociopolitical attitudes (modern sexism [MS], right-wing authoritarianism [RWA], and social dominance orientation (SDO)—to explore voter evaluations of Donald Trump and Joseph Biden both prior to (Study 1), and in the month following (Study 2), the 2020 U.S. presidential election. At both time points, Democrats and Republicans rated their own party's candidate similarly on the three trait dimensions and overall favorability. They differed, however, in evaluations of the other party's candidate. Republicans viewed Biden more positively both overall and on the trait dimensions than Democrats viewed Trump. Favorability ratings and trait perceptions for one's own party candidate were comparable pre- and postelection but were more negative postelection for the opposite party's candidate. RWA predicted favorability toward Trump, above and beyond political affiliation and sociodemographic factors, at both time points in addition to MS preelection and SDO postelection; RWA negatively predicted favorability toward Biden pre- but not postelection. Moreover, RWA predicted a vote for Trump versus Biden above and beyond political affiliation, highlighting the importance of considering sociopolitical attitudes in political decision-making.

自己的政党候选人在选举前后相当，但对对方候选人的选举后更负面。除了 MS 选前和 SDO 选后之外，RWA 在两个时间点都预测了对特朗普的青睐，超越了政治派别和社会人口因素；RWA 负面预测拜登在选举前而非选举后受到青睐。此外，RWA 预测特朗普对拜登的投票超出了政治派别，强调了在政治决策中考虑社会政治态度的重要性。除了 MS 预选和 SDO 选后之外的两个时间点；RWA 负面预测拜登在选举前而非选举后受到青睐。此外，RWA 预测特朗普对拜登的投票超出了政治派别，强调了在政治决策中考虑社会政治态度的重要性。除了 MS 预选和 SDO 选后之外的两个时间点；RWA 负面预测拜登在选举前而非选举后受到青睐。此外，RWA 预测特朗普对拜登的投票超出了政治派别，强调了在政治决策中考虑社会政治态度的重要性。
