Abstract

National flags embody their nations’ core values and beliefs but they may be perceived differently in today’s increasingly polarized societies. We conducted two studies ( N = 768) in the United States to examine partisan differences between Democrats and Republicans, and a third study in the United Kingdom ( N = 509) between supporters of the Labour and Conservative parties. Across all three studies, we consistently found that Democrat and Labour participants (compared to their Republican and Conservative counterparts) associated their respective national flags with less positive and more negative affect and concepts. Studies 2 and 3 further showed that these partisan divides were driven by how much people associated their national flags with their political outgroup. For Democrats and Labour participants, associating their national flags with their political outgroup predicted less positive and more negative affect, but associating the flags with their political ingroup predicted more positive and less negative affect.

党派之争以及对美国和英国国旗的分歧看法

国旗体现了国家的核心价值观和信仰，但在当今日益两极化的社会中，人们对国旗的看法可能有所不同。我们在美国进行了两项研究(N = 768)，以检查民主党和共和党之间的党派差异，在英国进行了第三项研究(N = 509)，在工党和保守党的支持者之间进行了研究。在所有三项研究中，我们一致发现民主党和工党的参与者(与共和党和保守党的参与者相比)将各自的国旗与较少的积极和更多的消极影响和概念联系在一起。研究2和3进一步表明，这些党派分歧是由人们将国旗与政治外群体联系在一起的程度所驱动的。对于民主党和工党的参与者来说，将他们的国旗与他们的政治外群体联系起来预测的积极影响较少，消极影响较多，但将国旗与他们的政治内群体联系起来预测的积极影响较多，消极影响较少。
