White partisans differ sharply on identity strength but barely on partisan intensity

Evidence

Reflecting prior work (Jardina, 2019), we find that White Republicans report higher racial identity levels than White Democrats, d = .766, t(3,998) = 26.128, p \ .001, two-tailed. However, Table 1 indicates partisanship’s intensity is comparable across Democratic and Republican participants. Indeed, given our large sample, we find a reliable but trivial difference in partisan intensity between Democrats and Republicans (d = .068, p \ .032). — Efrén Pérez, Jessica HyunJeong Lee, Ana Oaxaca, Tania Solano Cervantes, Jasmine García Rodríguez, Kimberly Lam, and David McFall, Manifold Threats to White Identity and…, 34
