What Does Make America Great Again
Throughout Donald Trump's tumultuous presidential campaign and tenure, journalists and scholars sought to explain his entreatment to many American voters. In the 2016 presidential ballot, as many as ix million voters who previously supported Barack Obama, the starting time Black president, voted for Trump despite his inflammatory race-focused rhetoric (Skelley, 2017). I concept repeatedly emerged inside these discussions as a mainstay of Trump'due south political appeal: that of nostalgia, broadly divers every bit a bittersweet longing for the past. Bear witness of Trump's appeals to an before time in American history take been cited from the commencement of the 2016 presidential campaign through his failed 2020 reelection campaign, ranging from the salient cornball reverie of the "Make America Great Over again" entrada slogan (Samuelson, 2016) to more coded political rhetoric promising White, working grade Americans a render to times that take been lost (Brownstein, 2016).
Some accept hypothesized that such cornball rhetoric may capitalize on voters' latent feelings of threat to their economic welfare, or to the racial or cultural homogeneity of American civilization (Brownstein, 2016; Smeekes et al., 2020). On a broad scale, nostalgia focused on nationality is a prominent feature of right-wing populist political party rhetoric, and testify from voters in kingdom of the netherlands suggests that the accent of stigmatizing outgroups and preserving cultural hegemony within nostalgic messaging is what explains the link between nostalgia and correct-wing populist back up (Smeekes et al., 2020). In the United States, several studies provide stiff evidence of a link between support for Trump and grouping prejudice. For case, survey research has indicated that racial and anti-immigrant resentment strongly predicted voters' support of Trump in 2016, more so even than voter's feelings of economic threat (Hooghe and Dassonneville, 2018; Mutz, 2018; Schaffner et al., 2018). Additionally, a longitudinal assay of police reports evidenced a significant increment in hate crimes reported in Trump-supporting counties in the vi months post-obit the 2016 presidential election (Edwards and Rushin, 2018). However, no research has of yet established whether Trump'southward nostalgic rhetoric may be associated with voters' attitudes toward racial outgroups. To this cease, in this paper, we nowadays prove that national nostalgia, an emotion distinct from personal nostalgia, is associated with increased prejudice besides as back up for the populist messaging of Donald Trump.
The Sociality of Nostalgia
Nostalgia is a more often than not positive emotion that increases cocky-regard, attenuates cocky-esteem defense, enhances meaning in life, increases perceptions of cocky-continuity, and lessens feelings of existential threat (Wildschut et al., 2006; Routledge et al., 2008). Most people report experiencing nostalgia on a regular basis (Wildschut et al., 2006) and often structure their present in anticipation of experiencing nostalgia in the future (Cheung et al., 2020). Nostalgia is triggered in various ways, including by music, scents, and reflecting on past momentous events (Barrett et al., 2010; Reid et al., 2015; Sedikides et al., 2015b). This emotion also serves vital relational functions, increasing social connectedness and perceived social support (Sedikides et al., 2008).
The social connectedness function of nostalgia is a primary artery through which nostalgia confers positive psychological benefits. Although nostalgic memories are more likely to be evoked while experiencing negative affect (Wildschut et al., 2006) and loneliness (Zhou et al., 2008), the content of nostalgic memories evoked during these emotional states seem to human activity every bit a "repository" of positive affect, positive cocky-regard, and social connection (Sedikides et al., 2008, p. 306). The content of cornball memories is predominantly social, including recollections of close others, important social events, or tangible objects reminiscent of loved ones (Wildschut et al., 2006; Batcho et al., 2008). Equally a event of this, nostalgic memories seem to indirectly regulate these positive emotions past evoking and making more salient one'due south symbolic connections with others (Sedikides and Wildschut, 2019). For example, nostalgia felt in response to loneliness has been shown to reduce perceptions of isolation and low social support (Zhou et al., 2008). In organizational contexts, nostalgic emotions buffer the negative furnishings of low social support (due to procedural injustice) on reduced cooperation (van Dijke et al., 2015).
Chiefly, those who are more likely to feel nostalgia (i.e., those high in personal nostalgia) are also more motivated to control prejudicial feelings and reduce their expression of prejudices against outgroups every bit a consequence of these positive benefits (Cheung et al., 2017). Iv studies of Caucasian Americans examined the links between personal nostalgia and the expression of both blatant and more than subtle prejudice toward African Americans (Cheung et al., 2017). They found that the link betwixt personal nostalgia and prejudice reduction was mediated by feelings of empathy, suggesting that the experience of nostalgia offers advantages beyond the cocky.
National Nostalgia vs. Personal Nostalgia
The link between nostalgia and sociality becomes more than complex when because nostalgia felt for one's group. Although nostalgia felt at the individual level confers both intra- and interpersonal benefits, grouping-based nostalgia appears to have a distinct psychological profile from personal nostalgia. Group-based emotions, as singled-out from individual-level emotions, arise when individuals cocky-categorize with a social grouping and integrate the group into their sense of self (Seger et al., 2009). Furthermore, group-based emotions can differ markedly from their analogous individual level counterparts, such as when an individual might feel strong pride and happiness for their home team while not feeling strong pride in themselves (Smith and Mackie, 2016). Furthermore, grouping-based emotions serve a regulatory function of strengthening positive attitudes and behavioral intentions toward both their ingroup and threatening outgroups (Smith et al., 2007; Seate and Mastro, 2015).
Group-based nostalgia—operationalized as nostalgia felt for events shared with 1's ingroup, or collective nostalgia—can be experienced in a variety of social settings, including organizations, schoolhouse classes (e.g., Grade of 2021), cities, and nations (Wildschut et al., 2014; Smeekes, 2015; Green et al., 2021). Similar individual-level nostalgia, shared memories can include notable events, such equally a special operation (band or orchestra), graduation day, homecoming (higher class), or sports championships (metropolis). However, unlike individual-level nostalgia, group-based nostalgia can occur in the grade of a longing for a past that individuals themselves did not experience, but rather one that was passed downwards through commonage memory (Martinovic et al., 2017). Additionally, commonage nostalgia has been shown to increase positive attitudes equally well as an approach-oriented activity tendency toward the ingroup relative to an individually experienced nostalgic memory (Wildschut et al., 2014, Study 1). Collective nostalgia besides can increase group-oriented prosociality (e.g., willingness to volunteer or donate money to help the ingroup; Wildschut et al., 2014; Light-green et al., 2021). Collective self-esteem mediated this consequence: recalling a collective nostalgic event increased commonage cocky-esteem, which, in turn, increased intentions to volunteer. Other research has found additional ingroup benefits to collective nostalgia, such a preference for domestic (vs. foreign) consumer products (Dimitriadou et al., 2019) and a promotion of commonage political action (in Hong Kong; Cheung et al., 2017).
However, there are 2 sides to this money. A preference for domestic products is also a bias against strange products, and the promotion of commonage political action was driven by anger and contempt for the outgroup (i.e., Hong Kong residents toward mainland Chinese; Cheung et al., 2017). Individuals who recalled a collective nostalgic retentivity (vs. an ordinary commonage retention) were more willing to punish outgroup members who were unfair to an ingroup member (Wildschut et al., 2014, Study iii). However, in some cases, commonage nostalgia might increase intergroup contact when individuals tin can feel collective nostalgia for a superordinate group (Martinovic et al., 2017). In a study of former Yugoslavians who had settled in Australia, Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs who identified with Yugoslavia (when these groups were bound together prior to division and subsequent conflict) reported feeling more nostalgic for Yugoslavia and reported more contact with the ethnic groups that had resided in the former Yugoslavia (but not control indigenous groups).
National nostalgia is i type of commonage nostalgia that is felt while self-categorizing as a citizen of a specific land, and is likely to be associated with item intra- and intergroup attitudes and behavioral intentions. Just equally personal nostalgia during times of modify and upheaval can facilitate coping (eastward.grand., attenuating loneliness) (Zhou et al., 2008), national nostalgia—a reverie for a state'south proficient old days—may increase felt closeness to fellow natives during times of national stress or dubiety. Still, nostalgic revelry at the national level may exclude other citizens, such equally recent immigrants or minorities (Smeekes and Jetten, 2019). Studies of national nostalgia among Dutch participants indicated that national nostalgia predicted prejudice toward religious minorities in the country (Smeekes et al., 2014) as well as prejudice toward Muslim countries (Smeekes, 2015). Notably, these outgroup attitudes were not predicted by personal nostalgia, which has been shown to exist associated with decreased intergroup prejudice (Cheung et al., 2017). This distinction between personal and national nostalgia may lie in the extent to which outgroups pose an emotional threat to the self.
National Nostalgia and Outgroup Threat
The intergroup threat theory (Stephan et al., 1999) posits that intergroup prejudice and hostility is largely explained by perceptions of threats to one's ingroup by an outgroup. In line with this theory, substantial evidence has found that intergroup prejudice is strongly influenced by both realistic and symbolic threat perception (Stephan et al., 2002; Mutz, 2018). Realistic threats are perceived threats to i's actual well-being, and typically include the domains of concrete safe, political ability, and economic security. Symbolic threats are more abstruse, dealing with the cultural norms, ideologies, values, and traditions of one's ingroup (Stephan and Stephan, 2000). Realistic threats tend to exist elicited from groups that are more than economically powerful, whereas symbolic threats come about from marginalized outgroups who are perceived as highly dissimilar, and thus frequently inferior, to an ingroup (Stephan et al., 1999). Though these constructs are distinct and examined separately in the literature, there often is overlap between them, especially considering the demographic, economic, and social dynamics of some ingroups and outgroups. To be specific, when a marginalized minority grows in political, economic, or representative ability, realistic and symbolic threats can be conflated (Craig and Richeson, 2014).
1 salient factor in perceived threat for members of bulk groups is the size of minority outgroups, with more than threat being evoked by larger outgroups (Giles, 1977; Craig and Richeson, 2018) or even through messages endorsing diversity (Dover et al., 2016). In one notable gear up of studies by Craig and Richeson (2014), White American participants who read that the US population was becoming more diverse (relative to control weather)—that the percent of whites was dropping—reported more explicit (studies ane and iii) and implicit (studies 2a and 2b) prejudice toward not-White outgroups and pro-White attitudinal bias. One possible caption on why national and personal nostalgia are associated with unlike intergroup attitudes may be due to different levels of social categorization evoked, leading to differing levels of perceived threat. Personal nostalgia, which is associated with continuity of personal identity (Sedikides et al., 2015a) and evokes strong feelings of social connectedness, also has downstream implications for reducing anxiety and hostility toward outgroup members (for a review, meet Sedikides and Wildschut, 2019). In contrast, feeling national nostalgia is associated with self-categorizing at the group level, evoking i'southward national identity (Smeekes and Verkuyten, 2015). Similar to how personal nostalgia may exist evoked when feeling disconnection at the individual level, national nostalgia has been shown to be evoked in response to existential concerns virtually one's grouping-based identity, and may take the beneficial effect of reducing feet by bolstering perceptions of group continuity and connexion (Smeekes et al., 2018). For instance, trait national nostalgia among Dutch participants was positively associated with wanting to protect national ingroup identity (Smeekes, 2015). Similarly, a cantankerous-national survey across 27 countries found that existential concerns near the hereafter of one's country predicted increased collective nostalgia, which in turn predicted greater ingroup belonging and anti-immigrant sentiment (Smeekes et al., 2018). Withal, when the presence or ability of outgroups is salient (e.g., chronically or by the rhetoric of politicians), national nostalgia may increase perceived threat. Moreover, ingroup continuity may be threatened by consideration of outgroups (Smeekes et al., 2018). This may exist especially true for people whose views of the national past are distorted—for example, when whites in the United States feel a longing for a (whiter and more than homogenized) by that never was. Thus, national nostalgia could increase this fear of the future, leading to increased prejudice.
With the exception of a subsample of Us participants included in the cross-national study of Smeekes et al. (2018), this distinction has not been examined in the United States. Additionally, no studies have straight examined this theorized relationship in the context of political beliefs. Given that the tumultuous Trump years emphasized a number of political issues associated with national and indigenous identities, nosotros extended this line of inquiry by examining whether perceived intergroup threat explains whatever establish relationship betwixt national nostalgia and endorsement of symbolic prejudice.
National Nostalgia and Outgroup Perceptions in the Context of Political Messaging
Recent work has highlighted the prominence of national nostalgia in the rhetoric of right-fly populist political parties, and in particular its function in posing racial or national outgroups equally scapegoats for perceived economical or cultural decline (Mols and Jetten, 2014; Smeekes et al., 2020). Political leaders frequently use national nostalgia in rhetorical strategy by emphasizing the discontinuity betwixt a nation's past and present (Mols and Jetten, 2014), which and then serves to evoke collective angst about group status (Smeekes et al., 2018). A content analysis of speeches past right-fly populist leaders in Western Europe plant consistent themes of nostalgia for their country's "glorious past" while denigrating the state's present, as well as themes emphasizing that a) opponents of the party were the cause of this discontinuity betwixt by and present, and b) increasing the land's strength and opposition to party opponents would return the nation to its quondam glory (Mols and Jetten, 2014). By emphasizing collective identity discontinuity, and then highlighting a potential scapegoat to blame for that discontinuity, populist leaders offer listeners an outlet for restoring psychological well-being by denigrating the outgroups believed to be responsible (Smeekes et al., 2018). Indeed, national nostalgia has been shown to explain support for right-wing populist policies and leaders via the denigration of immigrant and racial outgroups (Smeekes et al., 2020).
Similarly, the role of intergroup relations was a stiff focus of Donald Trump'due south 2016 and 2020 presidential entrada rhetoric1. In the 2016 campaign, Trump borrowed Ronald Reagan'southward 1980 slogan, "Make America Keen Again," and emphasized claims that the United states of america had deteriorated from its former status. Along with these statements, he made numerous controversial statements on race, implying that changing demographics were, in part, to arraign for this turn down (Pettigrew, 2017). This led political pundits to claim that Trump's supporters were primarily White Americans who felt threatened past changing racial demographics and nostalgic for a past, whiter version of the United States. Exit polls from the 2016 presidential election appeared to support some of these claims, as White voters were the only racial demographic to support Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, doing then by a big margin of 20 pct points (CNN, 2016)2. Furthermore, several academic studies conducted in the wake of the 2016 election further supported the notion that intergroup attitudes played an important function in voters' pick to support Trump. Surveys conducted with representative panels constitute that support for Trump was most strongly predicted past negative attitudes toward the increased proportion of non-White Usa citizens in the population and anti-globalization attitudes (Hooghe and Dassonneville, 2018; Major et al., 2018; Mutz, 2018).
To build upon this enquiry, the aim of our study was to direct examine how voters' propensity to feel national nostalgia may explain support for Trump'south populist rhetoric as well as increases in racial prejudice in the Usa following the 2016 presidential election (Edwards and Rushin, 2018). Furthermore, we hoped to highlight the unique role of perceived realistic and symbolic threats in shaping US voters' political attitudes. We thought it advisable to examine both realistic and symbolic threats given the unique role of Blackness Americans in The states history and the ever-evolving racial and ethnic demographics of the United states, of which White Americans are becoming less of a majority (US Census Agency, 2020).
The Electric current Study
We examined the office of national nostalgia in propagating intergroup racial hostility higher up and across political orientation. We explored how national nostalgia relates to political and racial attitudes among voters who participated in the 2016 U.s.a. presidential ballot. We too examined the interplay between national nostalgia, pro-Trump attitudes, outgroup prejudice, and perceived outgroup threat.
Although previous research examined survey data taken around the time of the 2016 presidential race (Hooghe and Dassonneville, 2018; Mutz, 2018), our data were collected ~1 year after the election, allowing united states to see how our participants felt later on President Trump had been in office for some time, and whether the nostalgic message of "Making America Corking Again" withal resonated with voters. Minimal work on national nostalgia has been conducted, and to date, virtually all of this work has been conducted outside of the United States; thus, this research would explore the potential link between national nostalgia and political attitudes as well equally study the phenomenon in the US sociopolitical mural. In addition, we included a validated measure of personal nostalgia in order to better examine the association between personal and national nostalgia as well as to assess whether each type of nostalgia might be associated with political attitudes.
Hypotheses
Nosotros tested one specific hypothesis and iii exploratory research questions, which were pre-registered on Open up Science Framework (https://osf.io/mwh6n).
Hypothesis 1. National nostalgia would be positively related to pro-Trump attitudes (1a). No relationship was expected to exist found betwixt personal nostalgia and positive attitudes toward President Trump (1b).
Research Question 1. Will White or Republican identity exist positively related to pro-Trump attitudes?
Research Question 2. Will national nostalgia exist positively related to racial prejudice?
Inquiry Question 3. Will the relationship between national nostalgia and racial prejudice be mediated by increased threat sensitivity?
Method
Participants
An a priori power analysis using G*Power (Faul et al., 2009) indicated a minimum of 132 individuals would be needed to detect a modest correlation of r = 0.09three with 95% power and α = 0.05. We recruited 252 U.s. citizens who voted in the 2016 presidential ballot and identified as either White or Black (57.9% female, and 54.4% White). Participant age ranged from 18 to 79 (Yard = 36.34, SD = 12.68). Regarding political amalgamation, 44.0% of the participants identified equally Democrats, 25.4% Contained, 23.4% Republican, and vii.2% every bit Other. Participants were recruited through Amazon MTurk (www.mturk.com) during the Fall of 2017 and compensated $0.30 for completing the survey.
Regarding our sample demographics, White individuals comprised approximately 74% of the electorate in the 2016 election (Pew Research Eye, 2018); however, we purposefully oversampled Black voters for the purposes of achieving appropriate statistical power for our analyses. Additionally, Republicans comprised ~31% of the electorate, with Democrats and Independents making up 35 and 34%, respectively. Thus, we experience that our sample is an accurate reflection of the 2016 US voters.
Measures
Personal Nostalgia
The Southampton Nostalgia Scale (SNS; Routledge et al., 2008) measured personal nostalgia, operationalized equally how frequently participants experience nostalgia and how significant participants felt cornball experiences were to them. The scale included 7 items (e.m., "How valuable is nostalgia for you?") rated from 1 (Not at all) to vii (Very much). To build on past national nostalgia research (Smeekes et al., 2014), we apply a validated measure of personal nostalgia (proneness to feeling personal nostalgia).
National Nostalgia
The National Nostalgia Calibration (NNS; Smeekes et al., 2014, Study 1) measured participants' propensity to feel nostalgia on the basis of one's national ingroup membership. The scale included 4 items rated from 1 (Very rarely) to v (Very frequently) scale. The NNS used in this study was modified from the scale of Smeekes and Verkuyten (2015)four to reflect American nationality [east.yard., "How often do you long for the America (Netherlands) of the past?"].
Positive Attitudes Toward Trump
In terms of political attitudes, nosotros wanted to appraise positive sentiment toward the President as related to the experience of nostalgia. Therefore, nosotros used a modified version of the State Functions of Nostalgia Scale (SFN; Hepper et al., 2012), which measures the extent to which nostalgia confers the positive benefits of social connectedness, well-being, cocky-regard, and overall positive affect. Each item was modified to assess how participants experienced these benefits every bit they related to Donald Trump's presidency. This scale consisted of sixteen items (e.g., "Thinking near the election of Donald Trump makes me experience protected/happy/life is worth living"), that were rated on a 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Extremely) scale.
Outgroup Threat Perception
The Realistic Threat Calibration (RTS; Stephan et al., 2002) was employed to mensurate realistic threat perceptions (e.1000., of social or economic harm) of Black individuals. The scale was examined only among White participants. The measure includes 12 items (e.g., "African Americans hold too many positions of ability and responsibleness in this country") rated on a 1 (Strongly disagree) to vii (Strongly agree) scale.
Racial Prejudice
The Symbolic Racism Scale (SRS; Henry and Sears, 2002) was used to assess cerebral and affective dimensions of racial prejudice toward Black individuals. The measure consisted of eight items (east.thou., "It'south really a thing of some people not trying hard enough; if Blacks would only try harder they could exist simply likewise off equally Whites.") rated on a ane (Strongly disagree) to 4 (Strongly concord) calibration.
Political Measures
Participants reported their political orientation on a scale ranging from 1 (Very Liberal) to 7 (Very Conservative). Participants as well chose which political party they virtually strongly identified with (Democrat, Republican, Independent, or Other). Participants then indicated which political candidate they voted for in the 2016 presidential election (Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, or Other). They then responded to the question "How much do you feel like we need to 'Make America Corking Again'?" on a 1 (Not at all) to seven (Extremely) scale. Finally, participants reported their country of origin and whether English was their native linguistic communication.
Ethnic Identity Salience
The Multi-Ethnic Identity Measure—Revised (MEIM-R; Phinney and Ong, 2007) was used to determine the centrality of participants' racial/indigenous backgrounds to their sense of self. The scale contains such every bit "I take a strong sense of belonging to my ethnic group," and each particular was rated on a scale of i (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly concur) scale.
Demographics
Participants last reported their gender, age, and racial identity.
Procedure
Participants signed up through Amazon Mturk to complete an online survey near their attitudes toward the past, race, and politics. After indicating their informed consent, participants responded to all written report measures and items in the order described above. All responses were collected over a single, 1 calendar week period in the Fall of 2017 to avoid history artifacts in the information. Additionally, all participants passed attention checks ensuring that they were properly attending to questionnaire items. For the purposes of this survey, missing more than ii attending bank check items indicated insufficient attention and warranted non-inclusion of that participant's information.
Results
Descriptive statistics and zilch-order correlations are displayed in Table 1. To test our hypotheses, we conducted a serial of hierarchical linear regression models and bootstrapped mediation and moderation analyses to assess the relationship betwixt nostalgia (national and personal) and political and intergroup attitudes using SPSS v. 20 and Hayes' Procedure macro v.3 (Hayes, 2013). Following these baseline models, nosotros besides back up our findings using path analyses employing maximum likelihood estimation using IBM AMOS five. 26 (Due to a reckoner error, the national nostalgia data from 72 participants were unusable, reducing the n for analyses including national nostalgia to 193, still above the target based on the power analysis).
Table ane. Descriptive statistics and bivariate correlations among written report variables.
Chief Hypothesis
We get-go assessed whether national nostalgia and personal nostalgia would be related to pro-Trump attitudes in the ways previously predicted. National nostalgia and personal nostalgia proneness were entered simultaneously in pace 2 of the model to identify their unique relationship with attitudes toward Trump. In stride 1 of the hierarchical model, political orientation significantly predicted pro-Trump attitudes such that college conservatism was associated with more than positive attitudes of Trump, β = 0.59 t(192) = 10.08, p < 0.001. In step 2 of the model, national nostalgia was associated with more pro-Trump attitudes above and beyond political affiliation, β = 0.30, t(192) = 4.43, p < 0.001, supporting Hypothesis 1a. In contrast, personal nostalgia was non associated with pro-Trump attitudes higher up and beyond political orientation, β = −0.07, t(192) = −1.13, p = 0.259. Nostalgia predicted a pregnant proportion of variance in attitudes higher up and across political orientation, F (2, 189) = nine.90, p < 0.001, R2Δ = 0.06.
To examine this relationship in a consolidated path modelv, Figure 1 displays Path Model 1, quantifying the relationship between national and personal nostalgia and race, political orientation, ethnic identity salience, and pro-Trump attitudes. The model fit the data somewhat weakly due to the lower sample size [χ2(1) = 23.01, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.89; RMSEA = 0.34; SRMR = 0.03]. Every bit shown in Model 1, Hypothesis 1 was again supported: national nostalgia predicted pro-Trump attitudes (β = 0.24, p < 0.001), whereas personal nostalgia was unrelated to pro-Trump attitudes (β = −0.08, p = 0.156).

Research Question 1
To assess whether there was an association between race, political affiliation, and pro-Trump attitudes, we ran a two (Racial Identification) × 3 (Political Party Affiliation) ANOVA. Racial identification was coded with 0 = White/European-American, one = Black/African-American (shortened to Westward/EA and B/AA going forward). Political party affiliation was coded as 1 = Republican, 2 = Democrat, and 3 = Contained and were analyzed using an indicator multicategorical contrast. For the purposes of this analysis, information from participants who did not identify with one of these three major political groups were excluded. The model included 59 Republicans (34 W/EA, 25 B/AA), 111 Democrats (48 W/EA, 63 B/AA), and 64 Independents (44 W/EA, 24 B/AA). The factorial model found that political party affiliation was the only meaning predictor of property positive attitudes toward President Trump, F (2, 228) = 47.73, p < 0.001, partial η2 = 0.thirty, with Republicans (M = 3.94, SD = ane.22) more in favor of the president than their Democratic (M = 2.06, SD = 1.26) or Contained (M = 2.27, SD = one.06) counterparts. There was no principal effect of participant race (Black or White) on attitudes toward the President, F (1, 228) = 0.47, p = 0.57, nor was there an interaction between political party affiliation and participant race, F (ii, 228) = 0.05, p = 0.96. Figure 2 displays these results.
Figure two. Relationship between political party affiliation and pro-Trump attitudes by racial identity. Note. Error confined represent 95% CIs around the mean for each subgroup.
To explore these results further, we examined whether ethnic identity salience, rather than race itself, may be an important qualifying variable in explaining pro-Trump attitudes. We examined whether political party (dummy coded with Republican = 0 to compare against Democrats and Independents) interacted with race (dummy coded with W/EA = 0) to predict racial identity salience (measured past the MEIM) using Hayes' Process macro v. 3.iv (model 1). Nosotros conducted a bootstrapped moderation assay with five,000 resamples, which indicated a significant college-order interaction upshot between political affiliation and race to predict ethnic identity salience, F (2, 228) = 3.23, p = 0.041, R2Δ = 0.024. An analysis of the simple slope effects indicated that there was a stronger difference in ethnic identity salience among White participants compared with Black participants. White Republicans (M = three.47, SD = 0.92) reported that their racial identity was significantly more important to them than their White Democratic [M = 3.04, SD = 0.91, b = −0.43, 95% CI = (−0.82, −0.04)] and Independent counterparts [M = two.89, SD = 0.92, b = −0.59, 95% CI = (−0.98, −0.nineteen)]; simple slope divergence F (2, 228) = four.49, p < 0.001. In dissimilarity, no significant difference in racial identity salience was found among Black/African-American participants; elementary gradient difference F (2, 228) = 0.63, p = 0.537. In fact, an analysis of the simple main effect of race amid Republicans indicated that White Republicans felt their racial identity was as as of import to them as Black participants; Grand = 3.73, SD = 0.83, b = 0.24, 95% CI = (−0.16, 0.63). Blackness Democrats [b = 0.60, 95% CI = (0.37, 0.83)] and Black Independents (b = 0.97, 95% CI = (0.57, 1.36)] reported significantly higher ethnic identity salience compared with White Democrats and Independents (run into Figure 3).
Figure three. Racial identity salience among Black/African-American and White/European-American participants of different political affiliations (Republican, Democrat, Independent). Note. Mistake bars represent 95% CIs around the mean for each subgroup.
We also examined whether racial identity salience qualified the relationship between national nostalgia and pro-Trump attitudes. A moderation analysis using Hayes' PROCESS macro (model 1) indicated that college racial identity salience somewhat strengthened the human relationship between national nostalgia and positive attitudes toward Trump, but only amid White participants; ΔR 2 = 0.03, F (1, 77) = 3.94, p = 0.051. Among those depression in racial identity salience, national nostalgia was unrelated to attitudes toward Trump; b = 0.27, 95% CI = (−0.03, 0.58). Those moderate [b = 0.43, 95% CI = (0.xviii, 70)] and high [b = 0.64, 95% CI = (0.31, 0.97)] in racial identity salience showed a strong relationship between national nostalgia and pro-Trump attitudes.
Every bit a concluding examination of Enquiry Question ane, a 2d path model (Path Model 2, Figure four) was compared with Path Model 1 to again examine the interaction betwixt nostalgia and indigenous identity (on pro-Trump attitudes), and the interaction between political orientation and race (assessing its relationship with indigenous identity). When interpreting this model, it is of import to notation that path models are more often than not considered ineffective in examining interaction furnishings (Meyers et al., 2016). Path Model 2 showed much improved fit relative to Path Model 1 [χ2(10) = 40.47, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.09vi; SRMR = 0.05]. Likely due to the limitations of path models to compute interaction effects, in contrast to what was shown in the Procedure model, the interaction between race and political orientation (measured on a continuous scale) was not significantly associated with ethnic identity (β = −0.08, p = 0.210). Additionally, the interaction term between national nostalgia and ethnic identity was no longer associated with pro-Trump attitudes (β = 0.xiii, p = 0.607). This suggests that for White participants, greater national nostalgia was associated with increased ethnic identity.

Research Question 2
We next examined whether national nostalgia was positively related to racial prejudice. Bivariate correlations indicated that national nostalgia was positively associated with both anti-Blackness racial prejudice measured past the Symbolic Racism Scale (SRS) too as perceived realistic threat measured past the Realistic Threat Calibration (RTS, run across Table 1). To further examine the link between national nostalgia and racial prejudice, we tested whether racial prejudice moderated the link between national nostalgia and positive attitudes toward President Trump using Hayes' Process macro (model 1) with 5,000 resamples. A meaning moderation outcome was identified. Participants reporting college prejudice exhibited a stronger relationship between national nostalgia and pro-Trump attitudes; ΔR two = 0.05, F (1, 178) = nineteen.threescore, p < 0.001. Uncomplicated slopes were calculated and visualized using the interActive online utility, and are presented in Figure five (McCabe et al., 2018). The relationship between national nostalgia and positive attitudes toward Trump was non-significant at low levels of prejudice (those at least −1 SD beneath the hateful of SNS). Notwithstanding, for those moderate to high in racial prejudice (0, +1, or +2 SDs above the mean of SNS), national nostalgia positively predicted pro-Trump attitudes (see Figure 5). Interestingly, this effect was found separately for both White [ΔR 2 = 0.03, F (one, 77) = 5.93, p = 0.02] and Black participants [ΔR 2 = 0.09, F (1, 97) = 17.44, p < 0.001], only at that place was no meaning three-way interaction between national nostalgia, prejudice, and race (p = 0.14), so the results in Effigy 5 are displayed for all participants.

Research Question three
Volition the relationship betwixt national nostalgia and racial prejudice be mediated by increased threat sensitivity?
We final examined whether the relationship between national nostalgia and racial prejudice would exist mediated by outgroup threat perception (measured by the Realistic Threat Scale, RTS). A chastened arbitration model was constructed using Hayes' Process macro (model eight) to appraise whether the proposed mediational consequence might differ betwixt European-American and African-American participants. As shown in Figure six, the model indicated a significant indirect effect of national nostalgia on prejudice through the mediator of perceived threat for both White/EA participants [β = 0.23, 95% CI = (0.12, 0.36)] and Black/AA participants [β = 0.22, 95% CI = (0.13, 0.32)]. The mediational indirect effect did non differ by participant race; β = 0.07, 95% CI = (−0.xv, 0.13).
Effigy 6. Mediation of national nostalgia human relationship with racial prejudice by outgroup threat perception, moderated by participant race.
To examine this question in the context of a path model, Path Model three (Figure 7) displays the proposed relationships between national nostalgia and racial prejudice. Model 3 showed a moderate fit with the data, χ(2) = 65.80, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.79; RMSEA = 0.41; SRMR = 0.07). When accounting for political orientation, race, national nostalgia, personal nostalgia, racial threat sensitivity, and racial prejudice in a structural equation mediation model, national nostalgia directly predicted racial prejudice (β = 0.21, p < 0.001), whereas personal nostalgia did not (β = 0.03, p = 0.581). The relationship between national nostalgia and racial prejudice was significantly mediated by threat sensitivity [indirect effect β = 0.eighteen, 95% bias-corrected CI (0.10, 0.26)]. Interestingly, personal nostalgia also showed a weak indirect effect on national nostalgia via threat sensitivity, but in a negative management [indirect effect β = −0.07, 95% bias-corrected CI (−0.xiv, −0.01)]. This suggests that greater personal nostalgia may weakly predict lower racial prejudice via reduced racial threat sensitivity.

Path coefficients represent standardized estimates. Indirect effect of national nostalgia on racial prejudice through racial threat sensitivity was significant [β = 0.18; 95% bias-corrected CI (0.10, 0.26)].
Discussion
In our study, national nostalgia was associated with more than positive feelings well-nigh President Trump, likewise as increased perceived racial threat among White respondents. In dissimilarity, personal nostalgia was unrelated to back up for Trump or perceived racial threat. When assessed in a path model, personal nostalgia was actually associated indirectly with lower anti-Black prejudice via decreased racial threat sensitivity. These findings align with testify from samples outside the Usa (e.chiliad., Smeekes and Verkuyten, 2015; Smeekes et al., 2020) that personal and national nostalgia are distinct experiences with unique ramifications for intergroup attitudes and relations. Though our overall finding that national nostalgia predicted Trump support could reflect a strong semantic connection between Trump and its 2016 presidential campaign slogan, it besides may point to the appeal of Trump'due south entrada—and its right wing, populist sentiments—amongst those initially prone to feeling national nostalgia. To better answer this question, our side by side analyses investigated more closely the relationship between national nostalgia and identity.
Our kickoff research question asked whether identity was associated with national nostalgia. We plant partial evidence for this thought, as Republican participants expressed greater positive attitudes toward Trump. However, there was no bear witness of a human relationship between race and support for the President. At first glance, this finding does not align with media narratives and political polling suggesting that Trump'south messaging appealed mostly to White voters. However, although race itself did not predict back up for the President, racial identity salience moderated the link betwixt national nostalgia and pro-Trump attitudes. White Republicans felt more strongly connected to their racial identity than Whites who identified as either Democrats or Independents. White Republicans also expressed significantly more positive feelings toward the President than other groups. In fact, they rated their racial identity equally of import as Black participants in our sample. This is notable, every bit it evidences further support for the influence of White identity on political attitudes (Schildkraut, 2015). Equally members of the majority group, White individuals typically are less likely to retrieve of themselves in terms of race than people of color, for whom race is a more centralized component of their identity (Steck et al., 2003).
This finding suggests that the perception of demographic changes and threats to the dominant ingroup in the United States may indeed have been a critical cistron in voters' option to back up Trump. Some enquiry suggests that, in the electric current political climate, White Americans may increasingly identify with their Whiteness, as a issue of threat resulting from shifting racial demographics (Jardina, 2019). Yet, there is an upshot of causality, as these correlational data could signal that the perception of such a threat may increment the salience of one's racial identity. This threat may be perceived more strongly by those for whom a White racial identity was already a more central part of their self-concept. For instance, Schildkraut (2015) found that White Americans with higher White identity scores, forth with heightened perception of discrimination confronting Whites and feeling a sense of linked fate with other White Americans, were substantially more likely to politically endorse a White candidate. This suggests that the threat to White identity, along with other related constructs, may influence political attitudes and may also offer an explanation on why leaders invoking national nostalgia may be so attractive to some individuals. This type of rhetoric typically emphasizes collective identity discontinuity in order to foment anxiety about the state of the country while simultaneously offering a restorative outlet past identifying racial outgroups every bit scapegoats.
The role of intergroup attitudes was apparent when examining the human relationship between national nostalgia and pro-Trump back up. We plant that national nostalgia significantly predicted racial prejudice and that this relationship was mediated by perceived outgroup threat. Interestingly, this mediational effect was found among both White/EA and Black/AA participants, although the lack of a pregnant interaction effect may take been due to lower ability. Additionally, nosotros establish a stronger relationship betwixt national nostalgia and pro-Trump attitudes among those who reported more prejudice toward Black individuals. These findings marshal with evidence that group emotions motivate intergroup attitudes and, in particular, outgroup derogation when outgroups are perceived to be a threat (Smith et al., 2007; Wildschut et al., 2014). In particular, these findings marshal with converging evidence that the content of collective nostalgia—what individuals perceive to exist "the good old days" for their identity group—reflects salient sources of perceived threat (Wohl et al., 2020). This conceptual model, highlighting the content of commonage nostalgia, too explains differences betwixt the emotional outcomes of personal and national nostalgia. Whereas, personal nostalgia enhances feelings of belonging past evoking memories of positive intrapersonal experiences in the face of ostracism or loneliness, national nostalgia may enhance belongingness by evoking positive thoughts well-nigh the "good onetime days" when one's group was perceived to be higher in status or less threatened by outgroups. It is also possible that national nostalgia, like personal nostalgia, may enhance feelings of continuity in its ain way, by allowing individuals to feel continued to a time in which they believed their ingroup identity was less threatened or somehow stronger. Recent piece of work supports the notion that, coordinating to personal nostalgia, enhancing feelings of self-continuity (Sedikides and Wildschut, 2019), national nostalgia is linked to feelings of ingroup continuity (Smeekes et al., 2018). A study across 27 countries constitute that national nostalgia was associated with stronger feelings of ingroup continuity (Smeekes et al., 2018); ingroup belonging but non prejudice (outgroup rejection) appeared to mediate this link. Since relatively trivial inquiry on commonage nostalgia, peculiarly national nostalgia, has been undertaken, future work should examine these questions via multiple methods, peculiarly longitudinal and experimental designs, which tin identify whether and to what extent self-continuity is enhanced by (or itself predicts) collective nostalgia in response to outgroup threat.
Constraint on Generalizability
These data were obtained from a cross-exclusive group of Usa Mturk workers in the Fall of 2017, and so these results are well-nigh generalizable to American middle-aged populations (Huff and Tingley, 2015). Additionally, these considerations of intergroup threat perception and prejudice are most generalizable to White/EA and Black/AA social groups within the United states of america, and time to come assay of national nostalgia should continue to assess different ethnicities, races, and other relevant social categories.
Future Directions
These findings heighten the question on whether national nostalgia stems from a desire by some to go back in time, due to perceived group identity threats. Hereafter enquiry should employ longitudinal or experimental methods, such as manipulating identity threat, to examine whether national nostalgia arises as a defense against perceived threats to one's ingroup. Relatedly, information technology is but recently that national nostalgia has been manipulated (Smeekes and Verkuyten, 2015; Wohl et al., 2020), as the majority of national nostalgia inquiry has been at the trait level. Further work evoking national nostalgia in experimental contexts would allow us to better understand how this emotion interacts with intergroup attitudes, prejudice, and feelings of threat. Nosotros should too continue to examine how the importance of racial identity, including white racial identity, plays a role in their political attitudes and actual voting beliefs. The need for farther enquiry in this area has grown substantially in recent years, especially in light of events such as those that took place in Charlottesville in 2017 and at the US Capitol Building in early 2021, in which big groups of White Nationalists gathered in events that ultimately turned tearing.
An additional question to be explored is the extent to which national nostalgia operates within specific cultures and nations. Although Trump's presidential tenure has ended, the importance of these findings is non constrained merely to the rhetoric from his entrada. Rather, the use of national nostalgia in political communication is widespread (Mols and Jetten, 2014; Smeekes et al., 2020) and has far-reaching implications. Future enquiry should examine the role of national nostalgia in shaping attitudes toward demagogues in a variety of settings and when considering a variety of societal outcomes. Our findings suggest that national nostalgia may influence intergroup attitudes as a group-based emotion broadly through evoking positive emotions about one'south national group identity. However, the nature of the construct suggests information technology may also operate through evoking shared historical cognition and schemas almost one's group within a specific nation. The phrase "make America great again" and other nostalgic political rhetoric is peculiarly controversial in the US because minority groups have achieved meaning advances in civil rights in recent history, and a call to render to a onetime time may imply a call for a return to a former and less egalitarian social hierarchy. Future research on national nostalgia should explore the nuances of this emotion and its expression among various ethnic and social groups in different countries. Expressions of national nostalgia may evoke intergroup hostility to a lesser extent within nations with different histories.
Future inquiry might also examine the extent to which perceptions of outgroup threat stem from realistic (eastward.chiliad., economic) vs. symbolic (e.k., social/moral) concerns. Prior enquiry has theorized that symbolic threats (rather than realistic threats) may be more than psychologically influential on voter support for right-wing populist ideology, every bit concerns about immigration and intergroup relations tend to emphasize the importance of preserving cultural homogeneity (Smeekes et al., 2020). Understanding the source and salience of perceived economic and cultural threats could assistance inform interventions to assuage anxiety, thus reducing prejudice toward outgroups. Finally, with the ever-evolving demographic makeup of the Usa (equally well as many other countries), further work in this surface area should include individuals who place with other racial groups beyond White or Black, and should also be expanded to await at different identities such as gender, sexual orientation, religion, immigrant condition, social class, education level, and nation of origin.
Coda
National nostalgia, a form of commonage cornball experience, is a promising lens through which to clarify attitudes, such as political and prejudicial attitudes, especially when combined with assessments of identity salience and perceived outgroup threat. Research to engagement on national nostalgia is relatively new. Although this phenomenon has been studied elsewhere (mostly in European and Asian nations), this is the first report, to our knowledge, to examine the United states political landscape. Personal nostalgia—a wistful longing for one'south personal past—does non accept the aforementioned associations with political and group attitudes, and only moderately correlates with national nostalgia. In dissimilarity, national nostalgia, specially in combination with white identity salience and outgroup threat perception, predicted both prejudice and political attitudes.
There may be some irony in the possibility that national nostalgia may include beliefs for a past that never was; in this case, an America that was non equally white equally some call up. Nevertheless, these national cornball feelings announced to be linked to of import social attitudes, and thus are worthy of further investigation.
