- This paper presents the results of an experiment in political communication that was designed to maximize what McDermott (2002) terms “experimental realism.” Participants are presented with a believable and engaging stimulus in the form of a candidate webcast. They view one of four different versions of a political speech delivered by a candidate, who is played by a male actor or by a female actor, depending on the treatment. Physiological response technology is used to capture participants’ unconscious reactions to the speech. The objective is to see how both the verbal and non-verbal behavior of male and female candidates influences how they are evaluated.
