American and Chinese public opinion in an era of great power competition: ingroup bias and threat perceptions/ Daniel Irwin, David R. Mandel & Brooke A. MacLeod
Material type: TextPublication details: 2023Subject(s): Online resources: In: Journal Of Contemporary China Vol.32, No. 140, January 2023, pp.171-190 (102)Summary: As the US-China great power competition intensifies, public opinion polling may help gauge internal drivers of foreign policy decision-making. Using Pew Research Center data, the authors analyzed how American and Chinese respondents viewed their own and each other's countries between 2008-2016. They further examined how American attitudes towards China varied by political affiliation between 2008-2019. Both Americans and the Chinese displayed ingroup bias (i.e. rating their own country more positively than the other) and viewed China as a challenger to US hegemony. However, while the Chinese exhibited higher levels of ingroup bias overall, there was no evidence of increasing bias over time. Meanwhile, Americans showed increasing ingroup bias, primarily due to their souring evaluations of China, a tendency that was strongest among Republicans.Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
