摘要

探索是什么影响了人们对雇佣歧视证据的信任,这对制定纠正政策至关重要。在此,我们探讨了此类判断中一个强大的变异来源:对性别平等的道德承诺(MCGE),即对该问题作为道德义务和身份界定的看法。在七个实验中(N = 3579),我们考察了民间对学术界雇佣歧视科学报告的评价。在道德上更致力于性别平等的参与者更有可能相信严谨的、实验性的女性性别歧视证据。道德承诺与研究评价之间的这种关联并不能归因于先前的信念,它在很大程度上解释了人们对这一问题评价的性别差异。然而,从更阴暗的角度来看,道德承诺与研究评价之间的联系也增加了人们从相互矛盾的证据中谬误地推断出对女性歧视的几率。总之,我们的研究结果表明,道德信念会放大人们的 "我的偏见",从而给公众的科学消费带来好处和代价。

Moral commitment to gender equality increases (mis)perceptions of gender bias in hiring

Exploring what modulates people's trust in evidence of hiring discrimination is crucial to the deployment of corrective policies. Here, we explore one powerful source of variation in such judgments: moral commitment to gender equality (MCGE), that is, perceptions of the issue as a moral imperative and as identity-defining. Across seven experiments (N = 3579), we examined folk evaluations of scientific reports of hiring discrimination in academia. Participants who were more morally committed to gender equality were more likely to trust rigorous, experimental evidence of gender discrimination against women. This association between moral commitment and research evaluations was not reducible to prior beliefs, and largely explained a sex difference in people's evaluations on the issue. On a darker note, however, MCGE was associated with increased chances of fallaciously inferring discrimination against women from contradictory evidence. Overall, our results suggest that moral convictions amplify people's myside bias, bringing about both benefits and costs in the public consumption of science.
