Abstract

Este trabajo tuvo como propósito analizar de qué forma la identidad partidista de los usuarios afecta la forma de evaluar a una candidata política en su cuenta de Twitter en función de su interactividad. Los resultados de un experimento mostraron que los usua-rios con una alta identificación partidista –comparado con una baja identificación– eva-luaron mejor a su candidata cuando esta mostraba mayor interacción con sus seguidores.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the extent that users’ party identication affects the way in which they evaluate a political candidate from interacting with her followers in Twitter. The results of an experimental design showed that high-identified users –in contrast to low-identified ones– assessed their in-group candidate better when her interactivity level was higher.
