In an attempt to break the link between racial treatments and out-party affect, we randomized the partisanship of each Player 1 assigned to each participant. The purpose of this analysis is to ensure the observed changes in partisan affect stem from the racial treatment alone and do not depend on the reported partisanship of the set of Player 1s. P...
One concern with interpreting these findings is the potential presence of a “halo” effect, in which those who had positive interactions were subsequently more positive towards all types of groups. To address this alternative interpretation, we examine a different outcome variable, the difference in feeling thermometer ratings of different political...
As we have previously discussed, the psychological framework we draw on suggests that interactions with one out-group can also shape affect towards another out-group. If this model holds, we anticipate similar degrees of parallel updating for those with sorted (i.e., white Republicans and Black Democrats) and those with cross-cutting (i.e., white D...
One concern is that parallel Updating of race to partisanship may be less general than we theorize and, in particular, might be conditional on the racial resentment of the respondent. To account for this possibility, we embedded four items from the racial resentment scale in our survey.Footnote 9 These items were measured pre-treatment and were sep...
Finally, we break out the effect by race and partisan subgroup to consider whether our effects are driven by a single racial or partisan subgroup in Study 1. Table 1 shows that we observe significant parallel updating in the expected direction for all values of race and party.Footnote 11The effects are strongest for Blacks and Democrats, but are co...

Classic research by Carmines and Stimson (Reference Carmines and Stimson 1989) identifies racial attitudes as the basis of a major partisan realignment beginning in the 1950s, and subsequent research by Kinder and Sanders (Reference Kinder and Sanders 1996 ...
Mar 16, 2021 · Nationwide percentiles of partisan exposure by party and race. Courtesy of Nature Human Behaviour Race and ethnicity are closely associated with partisanship and do affect where people live. The study shows, however, that partisan segregation is distinct from racial and ethnic segregation.
Apr 9, 2024 · Yet as this study shows, the long-term shifts in party identification are substantial and say a great deal about how the country – and its political parties – have changed since the 1990s. The steadily growing alignment between demographics and partisanship reveals an important aspect of steadily growing partisan polarization.

Oct 10, 2023 · Abstract. This chapter examines demographic divisions in our partisan choices. It shows that race, more than anything else, divides us politically. Other demographic factors like religion, education, class, and gender are certainly relevant to our partisan affiliations. But race appears to be more central.
