自由主义者和保守主义者都对意识形态不同的人表达偏见（Brandt等人，2014年）。以前关于意识形态偏见的工作没有利用证据表明意识形态是多层面的，社会和经济意识形态代表相关但可分离的信仰体系。在5项研究（总N = 4912）中，我们测试了意识形态偏见多维账户的3个竞争假设。维度特定的对称性假设预测，社会和经济意识形态差异预测偏见的目标，被认为是不同的社会和经济的政治层面，分别。社会主导假说预测，这种意识形态世界观的冲突在社会维度上比在经济维度上更强烈。社会特定的不对称假设预测，社会保守派将比社会自由派更有偏见，没有具体的经济维度的假设。使用多个目标群体，多个偏见措施（e。例如，在一个实施例中，全球评价，行为），以及多种社会和经济意识形态的措施（自我安置，问题的立场），我们发现相对一致的支持特定维度的对称性和社会首要性假设，并没有支持社会特定的不对称性假设。这些结果表明，世界观冲突和消极的群体间态度和行为是特定的维度，但社会维度似乎比经济维度激发更多的政治冲突。
Liberals and conservatives both express prejudice toward ideologically dissimilar others (Brandt et al., 2014). Previous work on ideological prejudice did not take advantage of evidence showing that ideology is multidimensional, with social and economic ideologies representing related but separable belief systems. In 5 studies (total N = 4912), we test 3 competing hypotheses of a multidimensional account of ideological prejudice. The dimension-specific symmetry hypothesis predicts that social and economic ideologies differentially predict prejudice against targets who are perceived to vary on the social and economic political dimensions, respectively. The social primacy hypothesis predicts that such ideological worldview conflict is experienced more strongly along the social than economic dimension. The social-specific asymmetry hypothesis predicts that social conservatives will be more prejudiced than social liberals, with no specific hypotheses for the economic dimension. Using multiple target groups, multiple prejudice measures (e. g., global evaluations, behavior), and multiple social and economic ideology measures (self-placement, issue positions), we found relatively consistent support for the dimension-specific symmetry and social primacy hypotheses, and no support for the social-specific asymmetry hypothesis. These results suggest that worldview conflict and negative intergroup attitudes and behaviors are dimension-specific, but that the social dimension appears to inspire more political conflict than the economic dimension.
