Dalam perilaku politik, evaluasi para pemilih terhadap diri seorang calon politisi telahditemukan menjadi sesuatu yang penting dalam perilaku politik seseorang. Akan tetapi,meskipun variabel kompetensi dan karakter sudah sering diteliti, masih sedikit penelitianyang meneliti hubungan antara politisi dan pemilih yang ada dari sisi goodwill politisi.Padahal, goodwill ditemukan mampu melengkapi kompetensi dan karakter dalammenentukan kredibilitas politisi. Selain itu, masih sedikit pula yang melihat bagaimanasisi relasi parasosial dalam politik, meskipun relasi parasosial telah dibuktikan mampumempengaruhi perilaku politik seseorang. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini ingin melihatbagaimana goodwill mempengaruhi relasi parasosial dalam politik.Partisipan yangdigunakan adalah orang-orang yang mengikuti pemilu presiden tahun 2019 (N=221)dengan umur 18-64 yang diuji menggunakan alat ukur Goodwill, Positive ParasocialRelationship, Negative Parasocial Relationship, serta alat ukur Ideologi Politik. Analisisregresi berganda menunjukan bahwa goodwill memiliki pengaruh yang signifikanterhadap relasi parasosial positif dan relasi parasosial negatif. Meskipun begitu, tidakditemukan relasi antara relasi parasosial positif dan relasi parasosial negatif yangsignifikan. Berdasarkan hasil yang didapatkan, diperlukan penelitian untuk melihat lebihlanjut karakteristik-karakteristik demografi lain yang mampu ikut berpengaruh dalamperilaku memilih serta penelitian lanjutan dalam bentuk longitudinal untuk melihat lebihlanjut interaksi variabel-variabel yang ada

In politics, personal evaluation of politicians by their voters is important for a person’s

political behavior. However, while competence and character have received considerable

attention, little research has been done when it comes to the goodwill of politicians, even

though it was found that goodwill could supplement both competence and character when

it comes to determining the credibility of politicians. Furthermore, little research has also

been done regarding parasocial relationships in politics, even though it was found that it

could affect a person’s political behavior. Thus, this research intends to see how goodwill

affects parasocial relationships in politics. Participants of this research were those who

participated in the 2019 presidential election (N=221) with the age of 18-64. Goodwill,

Positive Parasocial Relationship, Negative Parasosial, and Political Ideology scale were

administered to measure the relation between Parasocial Relationship and Goodwill.

Multiple hierarchical regression showed that goodwill has an effect on both positive and

negative parasocial relationship. However, no significant relation was found between

positive parasocial relationship and negative parasocial relationship. Based on the results,

further research is needed to look into other demographical characteristics that can also

have an influence on voting behavior and also future researches conducted in longitudinal

forms to look further into how these variables interact with one another
