  • Understanding Latino Political Engagement and Activity on Social Media

    Open Access•M Abrajano, M O Garcia et al.•ARTICLE•Political Research Quarterly•2025•References: 15

    Social media is used by millions of Americans to access news and politics. Yet there are no studies, to date, examining whether these behaviors systematically vary for those whose political incorporation process is distinct from those in the majority. We fill this void by examining how Latino online political activity compares to that of white Americans and the role of language in Latinos’ online political engagement. We hypothesize that Latino o…

  • Recasting of the Latin American Right

    Carlos Meléndez, Julia Albarracin et al.•BOOK•Recasting of the Latin American…•2024

    This book analyzes the transformation of the political right in Latin America in response to the strengthening of left-wing parties and movements throughout the region. While Latin America's post-2000 left has been widely studied, little is known about right-wing political formations during and after that time. There is a paucity of research on recent phenomena associated with the reorganization of the Right: the polarization of Latin American el…

  • O menor dos males? Identidade partidária e ambivalência no eleitorado brasileiro

    Open Access•Alvaro J Pereira Filho, Robert Vidigal•ARTICLE•Opinião Pública•2023•References: 49

    Estudos sobre eleitores partidários no Brasil mostram o declínio do partidarismo e dos sentimentos em relação aos partidos. Como a identidade partidária se mantém nesse cenário político? Argumentamos que, mesmo quando não avaliam bem o próprio partido, a identificação partidária se sustenta por meio dos sentimentos interpartidários, que se deterioram ao longo dos anos no país. A partir de dados do Estudo Eleitoral Brasileiro (ESEB) entre 2002 e 2…

  • Authoritarianism and Right-Wing Voting in Brazil

    Open Access•Robert Vidigal•ARTICLE•Latin American Research Review•2022

    Mounting evidence shows that authoritarian orientations exert a powerful influence on public opinion attitudes and candidate support. The 2018 Brazilian elections brought to power Jair Bolsonaro, a candidate with an open disregard for democracy and democratic institutions. This study examines Brazilian voters’ differences in authoritarianism and electoral support for a right-wing authoritarian candidate. It employs the AmericasBarometer national …

  • Issue Importance and the Correction of Misinformation

    Robert Vidigal, Jennifer Jerit•ARTICLE•Political Communication•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 53

    The study of misinformation – and its correction – has proliferated in recent years. Yet the empirical record includes instances where corrective messages do and do not work, even on similar issues. Despite intense scholarly attention to this topic, it remains unclear when people will revise false beliefs. Our study examines a factor with a long history in the study of public opinion: the importance a person attaches to an issue. The subjective s…

  • O Programa Bolsa Família e seus beneficiários na opinião pública brasileira

    Open Access•Pedro Santos Mundim, Robert Vidigal et al.•ARTICLE•Opinião Pública•2019•Cited by: 2•References: 33

    O artigo analisa como os brasileiros se posicionam em relação ao Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) e seus beneficiários. Os dados são de uma pesquisa nacional de opinião pública encomendada pela Secretaria de Comunicação Social da Presidência da República (Secom-PR). Resultados de um modelo logístico multinomial sobre as chances de apoio ao PBF mostraram que elas crescem com a avaliação positiva do governo federal, o nível de informação sobre o progra…

  • Affirmative Action Attitudes of Whites

    Open Access•Robert Vidigal•ARTICLE•Brazilian Political Science Review•2018•Cited by: 2•References: 46

    Recently in Brazil, public policies have begun to be implemented to reduce discrimination and promote the inclusion of excluded social groups based on a specific individual characteristic: race. However, there is little public consensus about such policies, especially among whites. In this work, I look at the racial attitudes towards affirmative action among white college students. I make use of new research methods for the empirical study of soc…

  • Do lulismo ao antipetismo? Polarização, partidarismo e voto nas eleições presidenciais brasileiras

    Open Access•André Borges, Robert Vidigal•ARTICLE•Opinião Pública•2018•Cited by: 35•References: 42

    O debate recente sobre identificação partidária e comportamento eleitoral no Brasil vem apontando para a crescente importância do posicionamento dos eleitores com respeito aos principais partidos presidenciais - PT e PSDB - na escolha dos candidatos à presidência. Neste artigo, procura-se contribuir para a literatura colocando em questionamento diagnósticos recentes com respeito à polarização do sistema partidário presidencial. De acordo com a hi…
