Understanding motivations underlying acts of hatred are essential for developing strategies to prevent such extreme behavioral expressions of prejudice (EBEPs) against marginalized groups. In this work, we investigate the motivations underlying EBEPs as a function of moral values. Specifically, we propose EBEPs may often be best understood as morally motivated behaviors grounded in people's moral values and perceptions of moral violations. As evidence, we report five studies that integrate spatial modeling and experimental methods to investigate the relationship between moral values and EBEPs. Our results, from these U.S. based studies, suggest that moral values oriented around group preservation are predictive of the county-level prevalence of hate groups and associated with the belief that extreme behavioral expressions of prejudice against marginalized groups are justified. Additional analyses suggest that the association between group-based moral values and EBEPs against outgroups can be partly explained by the belief that these groups have done something morally wrong.
了解仇恨行为背后的动机对于制定预防针对弱势群体的极端偏见行为表达（EBEP）的策略至关重要。在这项工作中，我们研究了 EBEP 背后的动机与道德价值观的关系。具体而言，我们提出 EBEP 通常可以被理解为基于人们的道德价值观和对道德违规的感知的道德动机行为。作为证据，我们报告了五项研究，这些研究综合了空间建模和实验方法来研究道德价值观与 EBEP 之间的关系。我们来自这些基于美国的研究的结果表明，以群体保护为导向的道德价值观可以预测仇恨团体在县一级的流行程度，并与认为针对弱势群体的极端偏见行为表达是合理的信念相关。进一步的分析表明，基于群体的道德价值观与针对外群体的 EBEP 之间的关联可以部分解释为这些群体在道德上犯了错误的信念。
