This research focuses on how foreign influence, such as threats to national security and financial crises, changes the attitudinal patterns of citizens. Specifically, this research empirically examines the effects of information on individuals’ motivated reasoning. A long-term evaluation of citizens’ attitudinal changes in East Asian countries using ordinal logistics regression and multilevel analysis reveals that attentive individuals tend to alter their partisan routine if they are concerned with the growing tension of a threat. Results also show that a party’s reputation mitigates the information effects on individual evaluation of government performance.
