Abstract

The main purpose of the present research was to examine the possibility that individual differences in conflict mindset can influence voting participation in 2016 National election. The present research proposed the moderated mediation model in which learning conflict mindset has an effect on the voting participation by affecting positive perspective on political conflict and the strength of the mediation effect is weakened by the value of liberty and equality. A two-wave survey was conducted among 305 college students before and after election day. Results showed that individual differences in learning conflict mindset have a significant relationship with voting participation via positive perspective on political conflict. Furthermore, the strength of the indirect effects of learning conflict mindset on voting participation through positive perspective on political conflict was weaker at higher levels of liberty and equality value than at lower levels of the value. These findings indicate that conflict mindset is important cognitive characteristics of individuals in explaining psychological mechanism underlying political participation such as voting participation in national election. Finally, theoretical and practical implications, limitation and suggestion for future research are discussed.
