Abstract

In this study we explore how endorsing binding moral foundations and the perception of realistic and symbolic threat mediate the relationship between need for cognitive closure (NCC) and prejudice against migrants in Italy. We hypothesized that individuals with a high NCC are more prone to endorse binding moral foundations and also to perceive high realistic and symbolic threats and, consequently, they are more prejudiced against migrants. Data were collected through a questionnaire (N = 351). Results explain the relationship between need for cognitive closure and prejudice against migrants through a complex sequence of mediation effects of binding moral foundations and perceived threats.

摘要

在这项研究中，我们探讨了支持具有约束力的道德基础以及对现实和象征性威胁的感知如何调解认知封闭 (NCC) 需求与意大利对移民的偏见之间的关系。我们假设具有高 NCC 的个人更倾向于认可有约束力的道德基础，也更倾向于感知高度现实和象征性的威胁，因此，他们对移民的偏见更大。通过问卷收集数据（N = 351）。结果通过具有约束力的道德基础和感知威胁的一系列复杂的中介效应，解释了认知封闭的需要与对移民的偏见之间的关系。
