What are the cultural origins of societal conflicts that revolve around democratization, women's rights, and modern libertarian values? We propose that deep-seated differences in community-based collective values (at the micro-level) may be related to why people support anti-government protest and why they support repression of such protests (at the macro-level). The hypothesis was examined among residents of Turkey (N = 500). Cultural values, measured at the individual level and community level with the community collectivism scale, correlated with political orientation and emotions, as well as with subsequent support for anti-governmental protest or its repression. The main conclusions are that both support for protest and support for repression are related to the cultural values people hold and their subsequent political orientations and emotions. Micro-level cultural values in local communities may thus play a role in explaining macro-level socio-political divides.
围绕民主化、妇女权利和现代自由意志主义价值观的社会冲突的文化根源是什么？我们提出，基于社区的集体价值观（微观层面）的深刻差异可能与人们为何支持反政府抗议以及为何支持镇压此类抗议（宏观层面）有关。该假设在土耳其居民（N=500）中进行了检验。在个体层面和社区层面使用社区集体主义量表测量的文化价值观与政治取向和情绪相关，也与对反政府抗议的后续支持或镇压相关。主要结论是，对抗议的支持和对镇压的支持都与人们持有的文化价值观以及他们随后的政治取向和情绪有关。因此，地方社区的微观文化价值观可能在解释宏观社会政治分歧方面发挥作用。
