教条主义的不宽容——被定义为一种拒绝任何与自己不同的意识形态信仰并将其视为低等的倾向——通常被认为在政治右翼比在政治左翼更为突出。在本研究中，我们对这一观点做出了两项新颖的贡献。首先，我们表明，在欧盟（研究 1）和美国（研究 2）中，左翼和右翼极端分子的教条不宽容程度比温和派更为强烈。其次，在研究 3 中，参与者被随机分配来描述他们持有的强或弱的政治信仰。结果显示，与弱信仰相比，强信仰会引发更强烈的教条不宽容，而这反过来又与抗议意愿、否认言论自由和支持反社会行为有关。我们的结论是，与内容无关，极端的政治信仰预示着教条式的不宽容。
Dogmatic intolerance—defined as a tendency to reject, and consider as inferior, any ideological belief that differs from one’s own—is often assumed to be more prominent at the political right than at the political left. In the present study, we make two novel contributions to this perspective. First, we show that dogmatic intolerance is stronger among left- and right-wing extremists than moderates in both the European Union (Study 1) as well as the United States (Study 2). Second, in Study 3, participants were randomly assigned to describe a strong or a weak political belief that they hold. Results revealed that compared to weak beliefs, strong beliefs elicited stronger dogmatic intolerance, which in turn was associated with willingness to protest, denial of free speech, and support for antisocial behavior. We conclude that independent of content, extreme political beliefs predict dogmatic intolerance.
