“Third Rail” - Political conservatism increasingly linked to generalized
prejudice in the United States. That means people who identified as more
conservative were much more likely than in the past to express a broad range of
prejudicial attitudes. The THIRD RAIL of USA society is Russia direct

Americas and Love Russia values. Since the March 2013 [email protected]

MENTAL PROBLEM OF MOB MENTALITY: “Hitlerism was a mass flight to dogma, to the
barbaric dogma that had not been expelled with the Romans, the dogma of the
tribe, the dogma that gave every man importance only in so far as the tribe was
important and he was a member of the tribe.” ― Milton Sanford Mayer, They
Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45, published 1955 > Political
conservatism increasingly linked to generalized prejudice in the United States >
by Eric W. Dolan - April 20, 2025 - in Political Psychology, Racism and
Discrimination > People who hold negative attitudes toward one marginalized
group are increasingly likely to express prejudice toward others as well,
according to a new study published in Social Psychological and Personality
Science. The research shows that generalized prejudice in the United States has
grown stronger and more politically aligned over the past two decades. > While
previous research has shown that individual forms of prejudice often overlap,
the assumption that this overlap—or “generalized prejudice”—is stable across
time had not been formally tested. The authors wanted to investigate whether
people’s attitudes toward different marginalized groups are becoming more
consistent with one another and whether these patterns are increasingly tied to
ideological identity. > “I’ve long had an interest in the topic of generalized
prejudice, that is, the finding that specific prejudices (e.g., racism, sexism)
correlate with each other. In other words, if you score relatively high in
racism, then you likely score relatively high in sexism, homophobia, etc.,” said
study author Gordon Hodson, a distinguished professor of psychology at Brock
University. > “This topic is of particular interest because this robust finding
strongly supports the notion that individual differences are relevant to
understanding prejudice (which is contested in some theoretical camps; see
Hodson & Dhont, 2015). But if you are prejudiced toward a range of unrelated
groups, that tells us quite a bit about you as a person — that at least some of
your prejudicial tendencies are due to your character.” > “It turns out that my
PhD student Hanna Puffer is also interested in this topic! So we’ve been
pursuing this topic together. We’re both interested in how prejudicial attitudes
can generalize across groups, including as a function of intergroup contact
(e.g., Puffer & Hodson, 2024).” > To explore this question, researchers analyzed
nationally representative data from the American National Election Survey,
covering five presidential election years between 2004 and 2020. The total
sample included nearly 22,000 participants. > In each wave of the survey,
participants rated their feelings toward four groups—Black people, illegal
immigrants, gay people, and feminists—using a scale from 0 (extremely
unfavorable) to 100 (extremely favorable). For analysis, the researchers
reversed these scores so that higher values reflected greater prejudice.
Participants also reported their political orientation on a 7-point scale
ranging from “extremely liberal” to “extremely conservative.” MORE:
