一个理论的历史锚定和动员的政治态度，认为特定的文化符号，配置的历史宪章，是一个重要的资源，在定义国家和合法化的方式，使一些政治态度难以改变的公众舆论。在新西兰和台湾的五项研究使用不同的方法汇聚到显示，历史事件与“宪章地位”有一个附加的效果，即使在控制的影响，社会优势取向，右翼威权主义，相关的社会身份，集体内疚在解释新西兰的双文化和台湾独立的政治态度的差异。实地和实验室实验表明，历史象征的影响并不取决于社会认同的动员（例如，增加平均分数和间接影响），但代表中政治态度的历史锚定是抗拒改变的。操纵历史事件的显着性改变了社会认同的水平，但没有改变对新西兰双文化主义或台湾独立的平均支持水平。即使是一个激烈的和身临其境的前/后测试设计，让高中学生参观国家博物馆未能改变对新西兰的双文化主义的态度。
A theory of the historical anchoring and mobilization of political attitudes is proposed, arguing that culture-specific symbols, configured by historical charters, are an important resource in defining nationhood and legitimizing public opinion in a way that makes some political attitudes difficult to change. Five studies in New Zealand and Taiwan using diverse methods converged to show that historical events with “charter status” have an additive effect in explaining variance in political attitudes regarding biculturalism in New Zealand and independence in Taiwan even after controlling for the effects of Social Dominance Orientation, Right-Wing Authoritarianism, relevant social identities, and collective guilt. Field and lab experiments showed that the impact of historical symbols did not depend on the mobilization of social identity (e.g., increasing mean scores and indirect effects), but the historical anchoring of political attitudes in representations was resistant to change. Manipulations of the salience of historical events changed levels of social identification, but did not change mean levels of support for New Zealand biculturalism or Taiwanese independence. Even an intense and immersive pretest/posttest design taking high school students on a national museum tour failed to change attitudes towards biculturalism in New Zealand.
