The 2016 U.S. presidential election coincided with the rise of the "alternative right," or alt-right. Alt-right associates have wielded considerable influence on the current administration and on social discourse, but the movement's loose organizational structure has led to disparate portrayals of its members' psychology and made it difficult to decipher its aims and reach. To systematically explore the alt-right's psychology, we recruited two U.S. samples: An exploratory sample through Amazon's Mechanical Turk (N = 827, alt-right n = 447) and a larger, nationally representative sample through the National Opinion Research Center's Amerispeak panel (N = 1,283, alt-right n = 71-160, depending on the definition). We estimate that 6% of the U.S. population and 10% of Trump voters identify as alt-right. Alt-right adherents reported a psychological profile more reflective of the desire for group-based dominance than economic anxiety. Although both the alt-right and non-alt-right Trump voters differed substantially from non-alt-right, non-Trump voters, the alt-right and Trump voters were quite similar, differing mainly in the alt-right's especially high enthusiasm for Trump, suspicion of mainstream media, trust in alternative media, and desire for collective action on behalf of Whites. We argue for renewed consideration of overt forms of bias in contemporary intergroup research.

另类右翼的心理概况。


2016年美国总统大选恰逢“另类右翼”或另类右翼崛起。另类右翼同伙对现任政府和社会话语产生了相当大的影响，但该运动松散的组织结构导致对其成员心理的不同描述，并使其难以解读其目标和影响范围。为了系统地探索另类右翼的心理，我们招募了两个美国样本：通过亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk 进行的探索性样本（N = 827，另类右翼 n = 447）和通过国家民意研究中心的 Amerispeak 小组收集的更大的、具有全国代表性的样本（ N = 1,283，另类右翼 n = 71-160，具体取决于定义）。我们估计 6% 的美国人口和 10% 的特朗普选民认为自己是另类右翼。另类右翼追随者报告称，他们的心理状况更多地反映了对群体主导地位的渴望，而不是经济焦虑。虽然另类右翼和非另类右翼特朗普选民与非另类右翼、非特朗普选民有很大不同，但另类右翼和特朗普选民非常相似，主要区别在于另类右翼对特朗普选民的热情特别高。特朗普，对主流媒体的怀疑，对另类媒体的信任，以及代表白人采取集体行动的愿望。我们主张重新考虑当代群体间研究中明显形式的偏见。
