Abstract

Immigration is a complex phenomenon that significantly involves most Western countries. Political parties often hold divergent views on immigration, which deeply influence their supporters and contribute to societal polarization. To address this divide, moral framing—a technique proven effective in other contexts, such as environmental issues—could offer a promising solution. However, there has been little research on how this approach is influenced by specific aspect of the political ideology, such as Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), or its impact on implicit attitude changes. The present study (N = 230) explored the effectiveness of moral framing in bridging the gap between conservative and liberal individuals in their explicit and implicit attitudes towards immigration. Participants in two experimental groups were presented with a video that ended with either a binding or individualizing moral message in which two immigrants described their positive experiences. A video about unrelated issues was presented in the control condition. Findings showed that conservative individuals expressed less negative explicit and implicit attitudes toward immigration when exposed to the binding moral framing compared to the control group. However, no significant differences emerged between participants exposed to the binding versus individualizing frames. Overall, results indicated that moral framing had a limited effect, but exposure to exemplars of positive integration was effective in shifting both the explicit and implicit attitudes of more conservative individuals, thereby fostering greater consensus across the political spectrum.

用框架塑造移民外显和内隐态度:自我报告的政治取向、RWA和SDO的作用
移民是一个复杂的现象,涉及到大多数西方国家。政党在移民问题上往往持不同的观点,这深刻地影响了他们的支持者,并助长了社会两极分化。为了解决这一分歧,道德框架——一种在环境问题等其他情况下被证明有效的技术——可能提供一个有希望的解决方案。然而,关于政治意识形态的特定方面,如右翼权威主义(RWA)和社会优势取向(SDO)如何影响这种态度,或其对内隐态度变化的影响,研究很少。本研究(N = 230)探讨了道德框架在弥合保守派和自由派个人对移民的显性和隐性态度差异方面的有效性。两个实验组的参与者观看了一段视频,视频的结尾要么是约束性的,要么是个性化的道德信息,视频中两位移民描述了他们的积极经历。在控制条件下播放了一个无关问题的视频。结果表明,与对照组相比,保守个体在约束道德框架下对移民表现出更少的消极外显和内隐态度。然而,暴露于绑定和个性化框架的参与者之间没有显着差异。总体而言,研究结果表明,道德框架的影响有限,但接触积极整合的范例对改变更保守的个人的显性和隐性态度有效,从而在政治光谱中促进更大的共识。
