Recent studies and theorizing (SD-HARM model) suggested that social dominance orientation (SDO) constitutes the ideological foundation of negative attitude towards animals and acceptance of their exploitation. At the same time, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is expected to predict speciesist beliefs only when they are perceived as part of societal tradition. The present studies investigated these predictions with moral condemnation of harm done to animals by humans as an indicator of speciesism.
400 and 324 people, aged 18-87, took part in two cross-sectional studies. They reported their levels of SDO and RWA and made moral judgments of harm done to animals.
In both studies, SDO, but not RWA, negatively predicted moral condemnation of harming animals.
The results offer additional support for the SD-HARM model. The more people accept SDO beliefs, the less they morally condemn harm done to animals by humans.
近期的研究和理论(SD - HARM模型)表明,社会支配取向(SDO)构成了对动物持消极态度和接受对其剥削的思想基础。同时,只有当右翼威权主义(RWA)被视为社会传统的一部分时,才有望预测物种主义信念。本研究以对人类伤害动物行为的道德谴责作为物种主义的指标,对这些预测进行了调查。
400名年龄在18 - 87岁之间的人和324名年龄在18 - 87岁之间的人参与了两项横断面研究。他们报告了自己的社会支配取向(SDO)和右翼威权主义(RWA)水平,并对伤害动物的行为进行了道德判断。
在两项研究中,社会支配取向(SDO)而非右翼威权主义(RWA)对伤害动物行为的道德谴责具有负向预测作用。
研究结果为SD - HARM模型提供了额外支持。人们越认同社会支配取向(SDO)信念,就越不会从道德上谴责人类对动物的伤害行为。
