This study examines the legacies of large-scale armed conflict on emancipative value preferences from 1946 to 2012. The multilevel analysis indicates that people living in countries with past armed conflict are more likely to endorse less emancipative value preferences. The higher the intensity and the longer the duration of the armed conflict episodes experienced in a country, the greater the impact on values. Our evidence further suggests that the mechanism through which armed conflict shapes values is by diminishing/destructing the material, intellectual, and connective resources available to a society. These findings show that armed conflict legacies are bleaker than previous studies on individual exposure to violence have suggested. Large-scale violence diminishes people’s ability and motivation to pursue a life free from domination, potentially eroding the basis of generalized tolerance and cooperation.

国家层面武装冲突经验对解放价值偏好的影响：一项全球跨国研究

本研究考察了 1946 年至 2012 年大规模武装冲突对解放性价值偏好的影响。多层次分析表明，生活在过去发生过武装冲突的国家的人们更有可能认可解放性较低的价值偏好。一个国家经历的武装冲突事件的强度越高，持续时间越长，对价值观的影响就越大。我们的证据进一步表明，武装冲突塑造价值观的机制是减少/破坏社会可用的物质、智力和联系资源。这些研究结果表明，武装冲突的遗产比之前关于个人暴露于暴力的研究表明的要黯淡。大规模暴力削弱了人们追求不受支配的生活的能力和动力，
