Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In a survey analysis of university students in the United Kingdom and the United States, we examine how political knowledge affects the influence of political cues, emotion and symbolic predisposition in the formulation of foreign policy preferences on a salient issue, the war in Iraq. We argue that accessible cues and symbolic predisposition, namely the national identity dimension of patriotism, provide for consistent cognitive shortcuts in foreign policy judgment. However, we also argue that the significance of such cognitive shortcuts diminishes when relevant political information is more available. Thus we conclude that emotion-driven affect, cues and symbolic predisposition are triggered as a convenient guide in foreign policy judgment when citizens are less informed, whereas higher levels of political information increase the significance of relevant policy preference and knowledge in the formulation of related foreign policy judgment.
