Abstract

ABSTRACT Attitude and belief similarity have long stood as topics of inquiry for social psychology. Recent research suggests that there might be meaningful differences across people in the extent to which they perceive and actually share others’ attitudes and beliefs. I outline research examining the relationship between political ideology and the perception and reality of attitude similarity. Specifically, I review research documenting that (a) conservatives perceive greater ingroup similarity than do liberals, (b) conservatives overestimate and liberals underestimate ingroup similarity, (c) liberals and conservatives both underestimate similarity to outgroup members, and (d) liberals possess more actual ingroup similarity than do conservatives on a national level. Collectively, this review contributes to understanding how political ideology relates to (perceived) attitude similarity.

态度上的意识形态差异与信仰上的相似性:区分感知与现实

态度和信仰的相似性一直是社会心理学研究的主题。最近的研究表明，人们在感知和实际分享他人态度和信仰的程度上可能存在有意义的差异。我概述了研究政治意识形态与态度相似的感知和现实之间的关系。具体而言，我回顾了一些研究，这些研究记录了（a）保守派比自由派认为更大的群体内相似性，（b）保守派高估了群体内相似度，而自由派低估了群体内类似度，（c）自由派和保守派都低估了与群体外成员的相似性，以及（d）在国家层面上，自由派比保守派拥有更多的实际群体内相似程度。总之，这篇综述有助于理解政治意识形态如何与（感知的）态度相似性相关。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
