摘要 In this article, we examine the effects of voters’ beliefs in politicians’ pledge performance on the consideration of election pledges when voting with a special focus on the role of the third-person effect. Specifically, we argue that third-person perception, a perception gap between presumed media influence on others and influence on oneself, reinforces the consideration of election pledges through the mechanisms of expectation confirmation or disconfirmation. The empirical results confirm that, first, voters who believe in pledge fulfillment are more likely to frequently take election pledges into account when making their voting decisions, and second, voters who believe that pledges are likely to be broken are less likely to do so, although this is the case only for those who do not have third-person perception. Finally, we observe that voters’ consideration of election pledges is reinforced by third-person perception, which to some extent ensures a link between voters’ policy preferences and governments’ policy decisions.
