dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the role of the space-time congruency effect in the perceived persuasiveness of political campaign posters. Additionally, it investigates whether priming participants with future-related words enhances this effect. A 2 (space-time congruent vs. incongruent) × 2 (priming vs. no priming) between-subjects design was used. 122 participants viewed six campaign posters on environmental, social, and political themes, and rated each for persuasiveness. Results from a two-way ANOVA revealed no significant effects of spatial positioning or priming, nor an interaction between the two. The findings suggest that the space-time congruency effect may has little influence on persuasiveness of political campaign posters, and that this effect was not altered by future-related priming. Potential explanations for the results, such as used measurement methods, insufficient priming, and other external factors, are discussed.
