Abstract

ABSTRACT Can targeted messages from political elites impact the relationship between valuing conformity and prejudice? We answer this question in a survey experiment on a national probability sample from the Netherlands by exposing respondents to a favorable vs. unfavorable statement about East European immigrants. We find that individuals attaching relatively high importance to the value of conformity express greater agreement with the statement, independently of its content or partisanship. Further, the positive association between valuing conformity and prejudice is significantly decreased when individuals are presented with a favorable statement about East European immigrants. Thus, valuing conformity is not only associated with higher prejudice but can also reduce prejudice because it makes individuals susceptible to elite normative pressure to respond positively.

社会从众与对移民的偏见:政治信息的作用

政治精英有针对性的信息是否会影响从众与偏见之间的关系?我们在一项针对荷兰国家概率样本的调查实验中回答了这个问题，让受访者听到了对东欧移民的正面或负面陈述。我们发现，相对高度重视一致性价值的个体，无论其内容或党派关系如何，都对该声明表示更大的同意。此外，当个体看到对东欧移民有利的陈述时，从众价值与偏见之间的正相关显著降低。因此，重视从众不仅与更高的偏见有关，而且还可以减少偏见，因为它使个人容易受到精英规范压力的影响，做出积极的反应。
