What makes political group appeals work?
Politicians routinely flatter voter groups but we know little whether it works. We tested class-based flattery appeals using survey experiments in 🇩🇰 Denmark and 🇺🇸 the US.
We find that:
✅ Flattery boosts candidate support especially among strong group identifiers
✅ Flattery can potentially even mobilize high-status groups (upper-middle class) who are usually unresponsive to group-based appeals
