abstract = {Daily worldwide newspapers are filled with campaigning unveiling political corruption.
Despite this information be worrying to many citizens, political researchers have not identified any
consistent trend of decline of support among party sympathizers. This study utilizes neuroimaging
for the first time to examine the neuropsychological origin of party closeness variation among backers
of a liberal (Spanish SocialistWorkers’ Party, PSOE) and a conservative party (Popular Party, PP) in
Spain after a month receiving corruption messages among their preferred party. Brain data provide
some explanation as to the origin of party closeness reduction among liberal sympathizers: areas
involved with negative feelings, disappointment and self-relevance served to predict party closeness
reduction 30 days in advance. Implications for liberals and conservatives’ campaigns are discussed.},
