How ingroup norms of multiculturalism (and tolerance) affect intergroup solidarity:The role of ideology
Get PDFMulticulturalism and tolerance, as two sets of normative beliefs about how to deal with intergroup diversity, have been recognized as effective at reducing outgroup negativity among majority group members. However, whether majority group members' normative beliefs regarding them might motivate their solidarity-based collective actions and how their political ideology might qualify this influence remained unclear. To answer these questions, we conducted two pre-registered experimental studies (N = 626), both zooming in on the multiculturalism issues in the context of the relationships between native Dutch citizens and citizens with a Moroccan background within Dutch university campuses (Study 1) and broader Dutch society (Study 2). In both studies, we found an ingroup norm of tolerance (vs. control) undermined majority group members' engagement in collective actions in support of ethnic minorities. Additionally, ideological leftists were more sensitive to norms than rightists: Study 1 showed a facilitative effect of the multiculturalism norm (vs. control) on solidarity-based collective action intentions particularly among leftists, whilst Study 2 revealed a dampening effect of the tolerance norm (vs. control) on these intentions particularly among leftists.</p
How Voter and Candidate Statuses Affect Voting Preference for Competent Versus Warm Political Candidates: A New Paradigm

Ideological Differences in the Influences of Candidate Competence and Warmth on Voting Preferences: The Roles of Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation
No full textDecades of research have recognised a political candidate’s competence and warmth as predictors of voters’ preferences, but to whom these distinct personalities are most appealing remains unclear. In the current research, we aim to investigate how voters’ Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) might influence their preferences for highly competent/warm political candidates. In two studies, we manipulate candidate competence (Study 1) and warmth (Study 2) and measure voters’ preferences using the overall evaluation, feeling thermometer and likelihood-of-voting ratings. Overall, we predict a high competence of the candidate to enhance voting preferences particularly amongst voters high in RWA and SDO whereas a high candidate warmth to play such a role particularly amongst voters low in RWA and SDO. We consider these influences to be mediated by the candidate’s perceived ability to clean up danger, perceived ability to win competitions, and perceived caring about people

Who values competent minds and who likes warm hearts?:The role of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation in shaping voter preferences for political candidates
Get PDFDecades of research have recognized political candidates' competence and warmth as predictors of voter preferences, but to whom these distinct personalities are most appealing remains unclear. In the current research, we investigated how voters' Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) influenced their preferences for highly competent or warm political candidates. In two studies, we experimentally manipulated candidate competence (Study 1) and warmth (Study 2) and measured voter preferences using overall evaluations, the feeling thermometer, and the likelihood-of-voting rating. We also measured perceived ability to clean up danger, perceived ability to win competitions, and perceived caring about people as potential mediators. The results suggested that a candidate's high competence (vs. neutral traits) increased preferences for the candidate among voters high in RWA more than those low in RWA. However, despite some indication, the effect that a candidate's high warmth (vs. neutral traits) increased such preferences among voters low in RWA more than those high in RWA lacked robustness across different voting preference measures. Additionally, the moderating effects of SDO on the relationships between candidate traits and voter preferences were not significant. Neither RWA nor SDO moderated the indirect effects of candidate competence and warmth through the proposed mediators
Value and action norms
No full textThe current project aims to investigate how the content of norms (i.e., equality vs. harmony) and the ways these norms are conveyed (i.e., value vs. action) can affect racial minority groups' collective action intentions, and how political ideology might moderate these relations
