Mandatory and punitive vaccination policies, such as requiring vaccination certificates for public activities and firing employees who refuse vaccination, have raised considerable objections. With a sample of U.S. crowdsourced workers ( = 983), this study investigates how four ideologies-left-wing authoritarianism (LWA), right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), and libertarianism-explain vaccine acceptance and attitudes toward vaccine policies. Results show that LWA predicts higher vaccine acceptance and support for COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the punishment of unvaccinated individuals, whereas libertarianism and RWA show negative relationships. SDO is linked to opposition to vaccine mandates. This study underscores the role of specific ideological components in shaping attitudes toward vaccine policies while also contributing to the arguments that LWA and libertarianism have important implications for studying sociopolitical attitudes.
强制性和惩罚性的疫苗接种政策，例如要求提供公共活动的疫苗接种证明以及解雇拒绝接种疫苗的员工，引发了相当多的反对意见。本研究以983名美国众包工人为样本，调查了四种意识形态——左翼威权主义（LWA）、右翼威权主义（RWA）、社会支配取向（SDO）和自由主义——如何解释疫苗接受度以及对疫苗政策的态度。结果表明，左翼威权主义预示着更高的疫苗接受度，以及对新冠疫苗强制令和对未接种者的惩罚的支持，而自由主义和右翼威权主义则呈现负相关关系。社会支配取向与反对疫苗强制令有关。这项研究强调了特定意识形态成分在塑造对疫苗政策的态度方面的作用，同时也为左翼威权主义和自由主义在研究社会政治态度方面具有重要意义的观点提供了论据。
