摘要

异议在任何社会中都扮演着重要的角色,但异议者往往因社会制裁而被噤声。除了具有说服力之外,为持不同政见者的理由提供支持的理由,还可以通过为表达不受歧视的立场提供“社会掩护”,从而增加公众对不同政见者的表达。在一个简单的理论框架的推动下,我们通过实验表明,当自由主义者的推文暗示他们首先阅读了支持其立场的可靠科学证据时,他们更愿意发布推文反对为警察撤资的运动,被视为较少偏见,并且面临较少的社会制裁。对保守派的类似实验表明,同样的机制促进了反移民的表达。我们的研究结果强调了理性的力量及其在支持异议方面的局限性,并揭示了诸如社会运动、政治正确、宣传和反少数群体行为等现象。

Justifying Dissent
Abstract Dissent plays an important role in any society, but dissenters are often silenced through social sanctions. Beyond their persuasive effects, rationales providing arguments supporting dissenters’ causes can increase the public expression of dissent by providing a “social cover” for voicing otherwise stigmatized positions. Motivated by a simple theoretical framework, we experimentally show that liberals are more willing to post a tweet opposing the movement to defund the police, are seen as less prejudiced, and face lower social sanctions when their tweet implies they had first read credible scientific evidence supporting their position. Analogous experiments with conservatives demonstrate that the same mechanisms facilitate anti-immigrant expression. Our findings highlight both the power of rationales and their limitations in enabling dissent and shed light on phenomena such as social movements, political correctness, propaganda, and antiminority behavior.
