尽管右翼意识形态倾向对人类群体间关系的影响有据可查，但令人惊讶的是，人们对其对人类与动物关系的影响知之甚少。我们研究了为什么右翼意识形态-社会支配取向（SDO）和右翼威权主义(RWA) -积极预测对动物剥削和肉类消费的态度。在异质社区样本中进行的两项调查研究（研究1，N = 260；研究2，N = 489）表明，右翼意识形态通过两种解释机制预测了对动物剥削和更多肉类消费的更大接受度：(a)非剥削意识形态对占主导地位的肉食主义意识形态的感知威胁（对于SDO和RWA）和(b)相信人类优于动物（对于SDO）。在控制了吃肉带来的享乐主义快感后，这些发现仍然成立。右翼拥护者不仅仅是因为喜欢肉的味道而消费更多的动物，而是因为这样做支持了统治意识形态和对文化变革的抵制。考虑了人类群体间关系和人类与动物关系之间的心理相似性。(C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Despite the well-documented implications of right-wing ideological dispositions for human intergroup relations, surprisingly little is understood about the implications for human-animal relations. We investigate why right-wing ideologies - social dominance orientation (SDO) and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) - positively predict attitudes toward animal exploitation and meat consumption. Two survey studies conducted in heterogeneous community samples (Study 1, N = 260; Study 2, N = 489) demonstrated that right-wing ideologies predict greater acceptance of animal exploitation and more meat consumption through two explaining mechanisms: (a) perceived threat from non-exploitive ideologies to the dominant carnist ideology (for both SDO and RWA) and (b) belief in human superiority over animals (for SDO). These findings hold after controlling for hedonistic pleasure from eating meat. Right-wing adherents do not simply consume more animals because they enjoy the taste of meat, but because doing so supports dominance ideologies and resistance to cultural change. Psychological parallels between human intergroup relations and human-animal relations are considered. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
