“…This directly undermines the continuity of the nature of the group and where it stands for. For example, Muslims in the United States have been found to be more intolerant of diverse interpretations of Islam than of dissenting beliefs of other groups (Djupe & Calfano, 2012). Similarly, members of the Church of England have left their own institution because of the ordination of women to priesthood (Sani & Reicher, 1999, 2000.…”

The global increase in cultural and religious diversity has led to calls for toleration of group differences to achieve intergroup harmony. Although much social-psychological research has examined the nature of stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination, and its impact on targets of these biases, little research has examined the nature and impact of toleration for intergroup relations. Toleration does not require that people give up their objections to out-group norms and practices but rather mutual accommodation. Integrating research from various social sciences, we explore the nature of intergroup tolerance including its three components-objection, acceptance, and rejection-while drawing out its implications for future social-psychological research. We then explore some psychological consequences to social groups that are the object of toleration. By doing so, we consider the complex ways in which intergroup tolerance impacts both majority and minority groups and the dynamic interplay of both in pluralistic societies.

“…Second, examining the roles of political discussion in political tolerance and policy preference, communication scholars consider who people talk with about politics (Binder et al, 2009; Djupe and Calfano, 2012; Harell, 2010; Ikeda and Richey, 2009; Richey and Ikeda, 2006). For instance, discussants’ ethnic diversity increases political intolerance toward racists’ speech (Harell, 2010).…”

Recent scholarship has shown the importance of political conservatism, perceived (in)security, and communication channels (i.e. mass media) in increased or decreased tolerance toward certain groups. This study advances our knowledge in this area by integrating the importance of media exposure, interpersonal communication and attitudes toward political elites in shaping tolerance levels toward the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People’s Army (FARC, after the initials in Spanish). For this, the authors analyze national survey data collected in Colombia and carry out a path analysis to explore the formation of political (in)tolerance toward FARC. Results from exploring tolerance toward FARC, a rebel group transitioning from a military force to a political one, show the importance of interpersonal discussion and attitudes toward political elites in fostering tolerance both directly and indirectly via increased preference for a peace negotiation over a military solution. The implications of these findings are discussed.

“…There is rich literature that displays how social networks, best described as the web of friendships and acquaintances an individual has, are an important determinant of political preferences (Mutz 2002). The study of religion has often been an important focal point for the study of these networks (Campbell 2013;Djupe and Calfano 2012). For evangelicals, one of the most important clusters of social networks is their local congregation.…”

Embattlement and Resilience Among White Evangelical Democrats

Why do individuals defect from the partisan pull of their social identities? Previous explanations of social sorting often neglect to account for these defectors whose partisanship cannot be explained by simply tallying up their social identities. I call these individuals political heretics. To better understand this phenomenon, I leverage white evangelicals, one of the most socially and politically sorted groups in the United States, who support the Democratic Party as a case study. I find that, based upon 68 face-to-face interviews across seven churches, two explanations emerge that explain their heresy. First, some find their way into Democratic congregations that shield them from the pressure exerted by residing in a religious tradition that has undergone extensive political sorting. Second, some choose to remain in predominately Republicans churches and offset the cost of this political pressure with some other benefit. However, for those who choose the latter, electing to remain in a church where they are in the political minority, they face significant headwinds to either update their political preferences or leave. Despite these embattled defectors choosing to remain in Republican congregations, the pressure of polarization may eventually force them out.
