“…Participants in the binding moral violation were told that the policy would make access to bathrooms and locker rooms be based on the gender people identify with, which would allow people who are transgender or nonbinary to use the locker room of their choice. The operational definition for the moral violation manipulation was based on previous studies showing that binding moral values (especially purity) predicted negative attitudes towards transgender individuals and other sexual minorities, while individualizing moral values predicted positive attitudes towards the LGBTQ community (Barnett et al, 2018(Barnett et al, , 2020.…”

Drawing from the social psychological model of schisms (Sani, 2005) and moral foundations theory (Haidt & Graham, 2007), we hypothesized that liberals would be more likely to schismatize from a group following an individualizing moral violation, whereas conservatives would be more likely to schismatize from a group following a binding moral violation. We additionally hypothesized that perceptions of identity-subversion would mediate the interaction between ideology and moral violation on schism intentions. We conducted four high powered studies (total N = 1,614) using different designs (correlational, experimental) to test our hypotheses across different groups. Results from Studies 1 and 2 partially supported the hypotheses, while results from Studies 3 and 4 fully supported the hypotheses. The results suggest that people’s political ideologies make them more susceptible to perceiving different types of moral violations, and that moral violations can elicit a schism process.

“…Likewise, people who weakly endorse care/harm and fairness/cheating as important moral considerations are also more likely to hold implicit and explicit prejudicial attitudes about gay men, believe gay men are irrational, and favour LGBTQ+ policies and programs (e.g., conversion therapy), while also being less willing to support gay-rights organizations (Monroe & Plant, 2019). Even among people who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual, the tendency to discount care and fairness is associated with homonegative attitudes (Barnett et al, 2020;Maciel et al, 2017). In terms of transphobia and genderism, people who weakly endorse the individualizing moral foundations are more likely to have old-fashioned views regarding gender and report feeling less comfortable around people who identify as transgender (Hatch, 2018).…”

“…In contrast, the relationship between the binding moral foundations and the endorsement of homonegative and transphobic views has been quite consistent. People scoring higher on measures of the binding moral foundations-especially sanctity-are more likely to hold homophobic attitudes (Barnett et al, 2018;Monroe & Plant, 2019;Rosik et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2019), even when they, themselves, identity as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (Barnett et al, 2020;Maciel et al, 2017). The binding moral foundations have also been associated with believing that same-sex couples should not have the same rights as opposite-sex couples, that they should not be allowed to adopt, and that their marriages are morally wrong (Koleva et al, 2012;Milesi, 2016).…”

People with antagonistic personality traits are reportedly more racist, sexist, and xenophobic than their non-antagonistic counterparts. In the present studies (N1 = 718; N2 = 267), we examined whether people with antagonistic personality traits are also more likely to hold homophobic and transphobic attitudes, and, if they are, whether this can be explained by their moral intuitions. We found that people high in Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy are more likely to endorse homophobic and transphobic views. The associations of Machiavellianism and psychopathy with homophobia and transphobia were primarily explained by low endorsement of individualizing moral foundations (i.e., care and fairness), while the association of narcissism with these beliefs was primarily explained by high endorsement of the binding moral foundations (i.e., loyalty, authority, and sanctity). These findings provide insight into the types of people who harbour homophobic and transphobic attitudes and how differences in moral dispositions contribute to their LGBTQ+ prejudice.

“…A teoria do racismo moderno foi proposta por McConahay (1986) e apresenta essa forma de racismo estando pautado na crença de que a discriminação de pessoas negras não mais existiria, uma vez que pessoas negras estão ascendendo economicamente, conquistando o que desejam e ocupando lugares nos quais não são bem-vindas. Além disso, no racismo moderno defende-se a ideia de que as A literatura tem indicado uma relação do racismo e de outras formas de preconceito com a ideologia política, considerando sobretudo o papel do conservadorismo político (Hoyt, Morgenroth & Brunette, 2019;Rocha, Lima & Ferrugem, 2021;Monroe & Plant, 2019;Sears & Henry, 2003;Souza, 2020;Terrizzi, Shook & Ventis, 2010;van Hiel, 2012) e com a moralidade (Barnett, Öz & Marsden, 2018;Barnett, Maciel & Sligar, 2020). Especialmente com relação à moralidade, Barnett, Maciel e Sligar (2020) indicam que o preconceito não se baseia apenas na qualidade das relações intergrupais, mas também em diferenças individuais relativas à moralidade, como os fundamentos morais e a ênfase dada a certos valores morais.…”

Esta pesquisa, que possui um delineamento quantitativo, buscou investigar a relação entre o julgamento moral e a ação política para redução do preconceito na sociedade, dando-se destaque ao ativismo político e ao racismo moderno. Partiu-se da ideia de que o julgamento moral está ligado às concepções que as pessoas possuem sobre a realidade social e sobre seus diferentes grupos e que tais concepções podem afetar o modo como as pessoas agem politicamente, ou sua intenção de agir. Participaram desta pesquisa 130 brasileiros(as) que responderam um formulário virtual, desenhado para avaliar o julgamento moral, o racismo moderno, a ideologia política, a disposição para executar ações para a redução do preconceito e promoção da diversidade e a intenção de engajamento em ações políticas na forma de ativismo. Os dados foram analisados por meio do IBM SPSS, sendo verificado que o julgamento moral convencional esteve relacionado com o conservadorismo político, com um maior índice de racismo e com uma menor disposição para o engajamento em ações políticas voltadas para a redução do preconceito e promoção da diversidade. Da mesma forma, observou-se que este julgamento se relaciona com uma menor intenção de engajamento em ações ativistas, mesmo aquelas voltadas para a defesa do próprio grupo. A partir dos resultados, pode-se concluir que, formas qualitativamente distintas de julgamento moral, ao nível do pensamento individual, estão associadas a formas qualitativamente distintas de se pensar a sociedade e de agir nela.
