Abstract

Abstract. Why are antiabortion attitudes more prevalent among conservatives? We show that people who prioritize courage, deference to authority, and caring for kin are more likely to oppose abortion and that these associations are mediated by conservatism. However, group loyalty, which is usually associated with conservatism, surprisingly predicts proabortion attitudes. In two studies ( N = 525), we disambiguate the effects of social dominance orientation and fusion from conservative ideology. These findings suggest that attitudes toward abortion are shaped by moral concerns that are then recruited by political ideologies. Understanding the relationships between morality and political ideology is crucial to managing the effects of divisive social issues on polarization.
解释堕胎问题上的政治两极分化
摘要为什么反堕胎的态度在保守派中更为普遍?我们发现,那些优先考虑勇气、服从权威和照顾亲属的人更有可能反对堕胎,而这些联系是由保守主义介导的。然而,通常与保守主义联系在一起的群体忠诚出人意料地预测了支持堕胎的态度。在两项研究中(N = 525),我们消除了社会优势取向和保守意识形态融合的影响。这些发现表明,对堕胎的态度受到道德关切的影响,然后又受到政治意识形态的影响。理解道德和政治意识形态之间的关系对于管理分裂的社会问题对两极分化的影响至关重要。
