Abstract

What drives individuals to participate in collective actions against immigrants? A substantial body of research has identified the epistemic motivation (i.e., the need for cognitive closure) as one of the key motivational factors of outgroup hostility. Starting from this theoretical framework, across one cross-sectional study (n = 313), we tested the role of the need for closure in explaining the intention to engage in collective actions against immigrants. Our hypothesis posited that an intensified need for cognitive closure would be a catalyst, indirectly and positively shaping individuals' intentions to participate in collective actions against immigrants. Moreover, we believed that the process determining this outcome would involve sequential mediation through binding moral foundations and the aspiration for cultural tightness. The empirical findings substantiate this hypothesis, revealing a complex psychological pathway that links cognitive needs to anti-immigrant dispositions.

探索封闭需求对反移民集体行动的影响:约束性道德基础和期望的文化紧密性的中介作用
是什么驱使个人参与针对移民的集体行动?大量研究发现,认识动机(即认知封闭的需要)是外群体敌意的关键动机因素之一。从这一理论框架出发,在一项横截面研究(n = 313)中,我们测试了封闭性需求在解释参与针对移民的集体行动的意图中的作用。我们的假设是,对认知封闭性需求的加强将成为一种催化剂,间接并积极地影响个人参与反对移民的集体行动的意愿。此外,我们认为,决定这一结果的过程将涉及通过约束性道德基础和对文化严密性的渴望进行连续调解。实证研究结果证实了这一假设,揭示了将认知需求与反移民倾向联系起来的复杂心理路径。

期刊介绍: IJIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of theory, practice, and research in intergroup relations. The contents encompass theoretical developments, field-based evaluations of training techniques, empirical discussions of cultural similarities and differences, and critical descriptions of new training approaches. Papers selected for publication in IJIR are judged to increase our understanding of intergroup tensions and harmony. Issue-oriented and cross-discipline discussion is encouraged. The highest priority is given to manuscripts that join theory, practice, and field research design. By theory, we mean conceptual schemes focused on the nature of cultural differences and similarities.
