In addition to his book, Stewart has published research on nonverbal communication by politicians in the journals PLoS-ONE, Political Psychology, Motivation and Emotion, International Journal of Humor Research, PS - Political Science & Politics, and Politics and the Life Sciences. His work on nonverbal communication by political leaders has been reported on by such popular outlets as The Washington Post, U.S. News and World Report, Wired, Psychology Today, The National Review, The Huffington Post, and others.
Stewart's current research concentrates on the emotional response of followers to leaders (and potential leaders). Specifically, he is researching audience laughter and applause in response to comments by candidates during presidential debates, how individuals respond to different types of facial displays by presidential candidates, and how the emotion of disgust influences political attitudes and opinions.
