Cognitive Biases and the Strength of Political Arguments (2012, background): “As a focusing emotion, it causes people to be more open to persua sion (Brader 2005,2006; Marcus, Neuman, and MacKuen 2000; Marcus et al. 2005), and as discussed above, anx iety also activates cognitive biases.”
The Automaticity of Affect for Political Leaders, Groups, and Issues: An Experimental Test of the Hot Cognition Hypothesis (2005, methodology): “The logic behind this is that anxiety signals a ‘‘sense of danger and novelty… [and] alerts people to stop, think, and adjust behavior’’ (Marcus et al. 2005, p. 950).”
Emotional Awareness: On the Importance of Including Emotional Aspects in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) (2013, unknown): “of anxiety and worry as a necessary precondition for deliberation and critical thinking (Brader, 2006; Marcus, 2002; Marcus et al., 2000; Marcus et al., 2011; Marcus et al., 2005; Valentino et al., 2008; Wolak et al., 2003).”
Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany (2015, unknown): “…with higher levels of anxiety (e.g., Pickett and Wilkinson 2011) and people with high level of anxiety are more responsive to persuasive messages (Marcus et al. 2006, Brader, Valentino, and Suhay 2008); therefore, we expect propaganda to be on average more effective in more unequal localities.”
Emotion and the Framing of Risky Choice (2008, methodology): “We also follow Marcus et al. (2005, p. 962) by focusing on distress to capture anxiety.”
