Previous research has demonstrated that low social dominance orientation (social equality orientation) promotes empathy with disadvantaged group members. In three studies, we tested a model relating preference for egalitarianism to positive attitudes towards immigrants through emotional experiences (pride, guilt, moral anger/ anger, disgust). Studies 1 and 2 showed that social equality orientation was positively related to proimmigrant attitudes through increased pride in helping immigrants, controlling for participants’ gender, age, and political orientation. Such a preference for egalitarianism was unrelated to proimmigrant attitudes through guilt for not helping immigrants and moral anger concerning mistreatment of immigrants. By focusing on emotional experience concerning proimmigrant national initiatives (e.g., integrating immigrants into the labor market), Study 3 corroborated the indirect effect of social equality orientation on proimmigrant attitudes through increased pride, controlling for participants’ gender, age, political orientation, as well as competitive jungle and dangerous world beliefs. Although much weaker, we also found a positive association between social equality orientation and proimmigrant attitudes through reduced anger, while no significant association through guilt and disgust was found. Results suggest that, relative to guilt, anger, and disgust, pride is the key channel through which preference for egalitarianism is related to positive attitudes towards immigrants. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.

先前的研究表明，低社会支配取向（社会平等取向）促进了对弱势群体成员的同情。在三项研究中，我们测试了一个模型，将平等主义偏好与通过情感体验（骄傲、内疚、道德愤怒/愤怒、厌恶）对移民的积极态度联系起来。研究 1 和 2 表明，通过增加帮助移民的自豪感、控制参与者的性别、年龄和政治取向，社会平等取向与前移民态度呈正相关。这种对平等主义的偏好与因不帮助移民而感到内疚和对虐待移民的道德愤怒等亲移民态度无关。通过关注与亲移民国家倡议有关的情感体验（例如，将移民融入劳动力市场），研究 3 通过增加自豪感、控制参与者的性别、年龄、政治取向以及竞争丛林和危险的世界信仰，证实了社会平等取向对亲移民态度的间接影响。虽然要弱得多，但我们还发现社会平等取向与通过减少愤怒的移民态度之间存在正相关，而通过内疚和厌恶没有发现显着关联。结果表明，相对于内疚、愤怒和厌恶，骄傲是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。研究 3 通过增加自豪感、控制参与者的性别、年龄、政治取向以及竞争丛林和危险的世界信仰，证实了社会平等取向对移民态度的间接影响。虽然要弱得多，但我们还发现社会平等取向与通过减少愤怒的移民态度之间存在正相关，而通过内疚和厌恶没有发现显着关联。结果表明，相对于内疚、愤怒和厌恶，骄傲是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。研究 3 通过增加自豪感、控制参与者的性别、年龄、政治取向以及竞争丛林和危险的世界信仰，证实了社会平等取向对移民态度的间接影响。虽然要弱得多，但我们还发现社会平等取向与通过减少愤怒的移民态度之间存在正相关，而通过内疚和厌恶没有发现显着关联。结果表明，相对于内疚、愤怒和厌恶，骄傲是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。以及竞争激烈的丛林和危险的世界信仰。虽然要弱得多，但我们还发现社会平等取向与通过减少愤怒的移民态度之间存在正相关，而通过内疚和厌恶没有发现显着关联。结果表明，相对于内疚、愤怒和厌恶，骄傲是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。以及竞争激烈的丛林和危险的世界信仰。虽然要弱得多，但我们还发现社会平等取向与通过减少愤怒的移民态度之间存在正相关，而通过内疚和厌恶没有发现显着关联。结果表明，相对于内疚、愤怒和厌恶，骄傲是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。自豪感是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。自豪感是偏爱平等主义与对移民的积极态度相关的关键渠道。讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。
