The effect of affects - 40 years ago, when I specialized , we used to do these things in the UK, in the US, it's called public listening. They call you and ask - how do you feel in this socio-political reality, and we record. This approach is taken by the major parties around the world not only when they are campaigning, but because they want to hear the voice of the people who will be invited to the polls again tomorrow.
This is what psychologist Dr. Plamen Dimitrov said in the studio of "The Day ON AIR".
According to him, a large group of those questioned by them said not to concern them with "such questions".
"The data is from September 10 to October 10 and the data has been processed. Everyone was allowed to give more than one answer within a minute. We got over 9,500 phrases that describe the state of people. When we processed them, 75% of them were the group of anxiety-depressive states and experiences. I am worried about the future of my children, what is happening to us is hopeless," added Dr. Dimitrov on Bulgaria ON AIR.
He emphasized that this is the voice of the potential electorate.
"Then comes a group that is 61%, they are visceral. This means on a physical level disgust, disgust, a sense of contamination, a sense of pain. Aggressive-angry accounted for 42% of the 9,000 responses. These are people who say they are furious, angry and that the politicians should be punished. And in the last place appears the group of timid hope", commented the psychologist.
The study will be repeated after the election.
