Consistent with a threat-bias model of ideological differences, social liberals have been shown to be less pathogen-avoidant than tradition-valuing social conservatives. However, particularly when pathogen threat occurs at a societal level, additional factors may influence individual responses. In the current pandemic, the more socially conservative U.S. political party has consistently downplayed the dangers of COVID-19. This creates a natural experiment, allowing examination of the contributions of multiple factors to disease avoidance. We investigated the relationship between social conservatism and COVID-19 precautionary behavior in light of the partisan landscape, exploring whether consumption of, and attitudes toward, different sources of information, as well as differential evaluation of various threats caused by the pandemic—such as direct health costs versus indirect harms to the economy and individual liberties—shape political differences in responses to the pandemic in ways that mask the contributions of social conservatism. In two studies, socially conservative attitudes correlate with self-reported COVID-19 prophylactic behaviors, but only among Democrats. Reflecting larger societal divisions, among Republicans and Independents, the positive relationship between social conservatism and COVID-19 precautions is jointly suppressed by lower trust in scientists, lower trust in liberal and moderate sources, lesser consumption of liberal news media, and greater economic conservatism.

“…Studies have linked increased levels of social dominance orientation (SDO), or the generalized desire for group inequality and dominance (Pratto et al, 2014), in White people to increased prejudice against outgroups (Kteily et al, 2011; Levin et al, 2012; Michinov et al, 2005; Whitley, 1999) and decreased willingness to reduce racial inequality (Stewart & Tran, 2018). These findings suggest that Whites high in SDO may feel threatened if they believe a company values minority racial groups.…”

Organizations that engage in “woke-washing,” in which they signal advocacy and commitment to a social-justice-related cause without taking actions to back up this appearance of intention (Vredenburg et al., 2020), may harm vulnerable minority groups. The presence of multicultural values, emphasizing the appreciation of distinct cultural identities, in companies’ promotional materials, versus color-blind values, which minimize cultural distinctions, may affect Black/Hispanic/Latinx (BHL) versus White individuals’ likelihood of applying to an organization differently, depending on the company’s demonstrated leader racial diversity (LRD). Participants (N = 419), recruited via Amazon MTurk, read a hypothetical job-application call and mission statement with a specific diversity ideology emphasized (multiculturalism, color-blind, control, Black Lives Matter [BLM]) and viewed headshots of the company C-suite with either low LRD (mostly White) or high LRD before filling out survey measures. Results revealed that BHL participants in the high-LRD condition were significantly more likely to apply to the organization than those in the low-LRD condition, emphasizing the importance of minority representation, whereas White participants in the BLM condition were significantly less likely to apply than in the multicultural condition. Additionally, identity threat, psychological safety, and organizational trust mediated the relationship between LRD and likelihood of applying. BHL participants experienced significantly higher identity threat and lower psychological safety than White participants in the low-LRD condition. Analyses also revealed a significant moderation such that White participants low in social-dominance orientation (SDO) were more likely to apply in the high- than the low-LRD condition, unlike their high-SDO counterparts. Implications for how consultants may promote equitable workplace outcomes through organizational-change efforts are discussed.
