Resumo(s)
A vast literature in social and organizational psychology suggests that support for authorities is
driven both by the outcomes they deliver to people and by the extent to which they employ fair
decision-making processes. Furthermore, some of that literature describes a process-outcome
interaction, through which the effect of outcome favorability is reduced as process fairness
increases. However, very few studies have been conducted to determine whether such interaction
is also present in the explanation of support for political authorities. Here, we start by analyzing
whether individual perceptions of the political system’s procedural fairness moderate the wellknown
individual-level relationship between perceived economic performance and government
approval. Then, we explore the implications of such process-outcome interaction to the
phenomenon of “economic voting,” testing whether impartiality in governance moderates the
effect of objective economic performance on aggregate incumbent parties’ support. In both
cases, we show that the interaction between processes and outcomes seems to extend beyond the
organizational contexts where it has been previously observed, with important implications for
the study of political support.
