The Dimensions of Generalized Prejudice within the Dual-Process Model: the Mediating Role of Moral Foundations

Moral Dichotomization at the Heart of Prejudice: The Role of Moral Foundations and Intolerance of Ambiguity in Generalized Prejudice

“…The fact that the dissident groups (e.g., feminists and LGBT activists) have moral connotations, challenging deeply held moral convictions and activating moral worldview controversies, gives us further reason to think that moral concerns are at the heart of prejudice while the role of cognitive orientations is more indirect. This conclusion fits well with recent research on the origins of prejudice (e.g., Asbrock et al, 2010;Hadarics & Kende, 2017).…”

“…The same pattern could be expected to emerge for binding and individualizing foundations which map onto authoritarianism and social dominance (Federico et al, 2013; Kugler et al, 2014; Milojev et al, 2014). Hadarics and Kende (2017) found that the binding intuitions were indeed associated with prejudice against dangerous and dissident but not derogated groups, while the individualizing intuitions were associated with less prejudice against all three kinds of groups.…”

“…Moral foundations have, furthermore, been portrayed as a consequence of need for closure in recent studies. Federico et al (2016) found that the effect of need for closure on moral foundations was mediated by RWA, while Hadarics and Kende (2017) found that the effect of RWA on prejudice was mediated by moral foundations.…”

Moral “foundations” as the product of motivated social cognition: Empathy and other psychological underpinnings of ideological divergence in “individualizing” and “binding” concerns

“…This evidence is broadly consistent with a plethora of recent studies demonstrating that endorsement of the "binding foundations" is positively associated with authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, outgroup prejudice, and victim-blaming in cases of rape and other violent crimes [23,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Thus, there is no evidence that prioritizing ingroup loyalty, deference to authority, and the enforcement of purity sanctions is associated with genuinely moral reasoning and plenty of evidence to suggest the opposite.…”

Ideology and the stigma of schizophrenia: Applying the dual‐process motivational model in the French and Greek contexts

“…As in previous related research (Hadarics & Kende, 2018), we applied the model building-model trimming technique, while keeping the order of variables suggested by the literature on the DPM (Duckitt, 2006). This means that we related higher-level variables both directly and indirectly to group perceptions and Social Distance, thus estimating both indirect and direct paths in our model.…”
