“…Very few studies longitudinally examined the relations between values and ASB in childhood and adolescence, finding a reciprocal relation in which the impact over time of values on behaviors was stronger than the impact of behaviors on values (Benish‐Weisman, ; Vecchione, Döring, et al, ). As regards the reciprocal relations of values and behaviors, however, the results of previous studies are not unanimous in supporting that behaviors can affect values (Vecchione, Caprara, Dentale, & Schwartz, ), so the nature of this relation needs to be better understood. Moreover, no published studies known to the authors have examined if this association was moderated by gender, although the literature support the existence of gender differences in value priorities (Schwartz & Rubel, ), with females higher in self‐transcendence and males higher in self‐enhancement, and gender differences in ASB (e.g., Farrell & Bruce, ; Snyder & Sickmund, ), with males showing higher levels of ASB than females.…”

The current study examines reciprocal relations among adolescents' values, antisocial behavior (ASB), and judgment of the wrongness of ASB over 3 years. Four hundred seven (M age 5 14.36 years; SD 5 .72; males 5 56.8%) ninth grade students in Italy completed the Portrait Values Questionnaire, a self-reported ASB scale, and a questionnaire aimed to evaluate how wrong they judged it to be to violate a set of moral and social rules. Responses were obtained again after 1 and 2 years. We analyzed separate cross-lagged models for each of the higher-order value dimensions according to Schwartz's model (conservation, openness to change, self-enhancement, and self-transcendence), using structural equation models. Self-transcendence and conservation values fostered more negative judgments and less ASB over time whereas selfenhancement and openness to change values had no effects. The mediating effect of judgment on the relationship between values and ASB was significant. Moreover, ASB mediated the effects of conservation on subsequent judgments. The results highlight the role of self-transcendence and conservation values as protective factors against ASBs in adolescence.

“…Resistance to change and acceptance of inequality are correlated with one another, and they are generally (but not always) associated with system justification, political conservatism, and right‐wing orientation (Aspelund, Lindeman, & Verkasalo, ; Jost et al., ; Kandler, Bleidorn, & Riemann, ; Lammers & Proulx, ; Piurko, Schwartz, & Davidov, ; Vecchione, Caprara, Dentale, & Schwartz, );…”

The emergence of political neuroscience-an interdisciplinary venture involving political science, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience-has piqued the interests of scholars as well as the mass public. In this chapter, we review evidence pertaining to four areas of inquiry that have generated most of the research in political neuroscience to date: (1) racial prejudice and intergroup relations; (2) the existence of partisan bias and motivated political cognition; (3) the nature of left-right differences in political orientation; and (4) the dimensional structure of political attitudes. Although these topics are well-known to political psychologists, the application of models and methods from neuroscience has renewed interest in each of them and yielded novel insights. There is reason to believe that many other areas of political psychology await similarly promising renewals and that innovative methods will continue to advance our understanding of the physiological processes involved in political cognition, evaluation, judgment, and behavior. We address limitations, criticisms, and potential pitfalls of existing work-including the "chicken-and-egg problem"-and propose an ambitious agenda for the next generation of research in political neuroscience.KEY WORDS: political neuroscience, racial prejudice, partisanship, ideology "It is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal." -AristotleOne of the most trenchant social and political psychologists of the twentieth century, William J. McGuire (1993), observed that the "politics and psychology relationship has been lively and Advances in Political Psychology, Vol. 35, Suppl. 1, 2014 doi: 10.1111 long-lasting as interdisciplinary affairs go, its longevity fostered by frequent shiftings of its popular topics, methods, and theories" (p. 363; see also Jost & Hardin, 2011). As in all sustainable relationships, psychology and political science have, for the most part, changed together rather than grown apart (e.g., see Huddy, Sears, & Levy, 2013;McGuire, 1993; Sears, Huddy, & Jervis, 2003). Perhaps it was inevitable, then, that political scientists would come to share psychologists' enthusiasm for the models and methods of neuroscience, including the use of electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other measures of the central and peripheral nervous system (e.g., Amodio, Jost, Master, & Yee, 2007;Carmen, 2007;Fowler & Schreiber, 2008;Schreiber et al., 2013;Smith, Oxley, Hibbing, Alford, & Hibbing, 2011b;Taber & Young, 2013;Theodoridis & Nelson, 2012). Political neuroscience is an interdisciplinary venture that tackles questions of mutual interest to political scientists and psychologists by drawing, at least in part, on the theories, methods, and assumptions of biology, especially neuroscience. The application of neuroscience to political topics offers a powerful set of research methods that promises to integrate multiple levels of analysis. As E. O. Wilson (1998) wrote in Consilience: The Unity of ...

“…example, in a German student sample (N=157), stability coefficients over six weeks averaged .73 (SD = .06), ranging from .62 (benevolence) to .82 (achievement) (Schwartz, 2005). In an Italian adult sample (N=1003), stability coefficients over two months averaged .83 (SD = .04), ranging from .75 (benevolence) to .87 (tradition) (Vecchione, Caprara, Dentale & Schwartz, 2013). Stability was also high in studies over longer periods of time.…”
