Abstract

ABSTRACT Many studies have investigated the relationship between ideological attitudes and aggressive tendencies. The present meta-analytic integration of research on this relationship included data of 177 samples (total N = 47,933 participants). The results revealed that this relationship was substantial, r =.31, 95% CI [.27 to.35], p <.001. Such a relationship emerged for both attitudes towards violence and behavioural indicators, although the former relationship was stronger. Moreover, with respect to the different types of attitudes towards violence, we obtained equally strong relationships for attitudes towards war and military action, intergroup hostility and aggression, punitive attitudes, and intimate violence. Among the behavioural measures, context-specific aggression bore out a stronger effect size than chronic aggressive behaviour. Finally, type of right-wing attitude did not moderate the relationship under study. In the discussion, we argue that the pattern of results indicates that the greater aggressive tendencies among right-wing individuals are manifested both attitudinally and behaviourally.

右翼意识形态态度与攻击倾向关系研究的元分析整合

许多研究调查了意识形态态度与攻击倾向之间的关系。目前对这一关系研究的元分析整合包括177个样本的数据（共有47933名参与者）。结果显示，这种关系是实质性的，r=.31，95%置信区间[.27至.35]，p<.001。对暴力的态度和行为指标都出现了这种关系，尽管前者的关系更为牢固。此外，关于对暴力的不同类型的态度，我们在对战争和军事行动的态度、群体间的敌意和侵略、惩罚态度和亲密暴力方面获得了同样牢固的关系。在行为测量中，特定情境的攻击行为比慢性攻击行为具有更强的影响大小。最后，右翼态度并没有缓和所研究的关系。在讨论中，我们认为，结果模式表明，右翼个人更大的攻击倾向在态度和行为上都表现出来。

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.
