我们的研究股将对容忍以及与容忍的概念和做法有关的多方面挑战进行合作和方案调查，以便不仅对困难而且对容忍的可能性有新的认识。调查将以宽容的不赞成-尊重模式为指导，该模式植根于来自多个学科的重要见解，特别是政治、社会、道德哲学以及社会心理学。虽然我们有信心该模型非常适合发挥这一指导作用，但该模型本身将在调查期间受到考验。它可以进一步开发(规范、表达和修改)，但也可以修改，甚至在经不起考验的情况下拒绝和替换。研究股的主要目标是建立一个理论上连贯和经验上可靠的框架，以了解多元社会中容忍的基础、动态和(有意和无意的)结果。为了应对与容忍概念和做法有关的多方面挑战，研究股召集了一个多学科研究小组，以检验不赞成-尊重模式，并为其或其经修订和改进的版本建立一个令人信服的基于证据的理由(或者，如果该模式无法经得起我们严格研究的检验，则用更好的替代方案取而代之)。研究股的多学科组成将使我们能够涵盖广泛的相关方面或层面。我们将考虑内容(例如，是否涉及宗教、种族、政治、性别或性别认同)、背景(例如，群体间关系的更广泛的国家或文化背景)和时间视角(例如，直接的因果关系以及长期的发展)。我们的共同努力将推动最先进的发展，以一个强大的概念性工具，基于来自不同学科的巩固的、相互支持的见解来理解宽容。我们相信，它将铺平道路，不仅在西方社会而且在西方社会以外，将为公众对宽容的理解铺平道路，这种宽容既是现实的(即对容忍的期望既不太多也不太少)，也不会受到政治化和意识形态的污染。

Our Research Unit will engage in a collaborative and programmatic investigation into tolerance and the multifaceted challenges associated with the concept and practice of tolerance in order to shed new light not only on the difficulty, but also on the possibility of tolerance. The investigation will be guided by the disapproval–respect model of tolerance, which has its roots in important insights from multiple disciplines, especially political, social, and moral philosophy as well as social psychology. While we are confident that the model is well suited to serve this guiding function, the model itself will be put to the test during the investigation. It is open to further development (specification, articulation, and amendment), but also revision, or even rejection and replacement if it does not stand the test. The main objective of the Research Unit is to build a theoretically coherent and empirically robust framework for understanding the foundations, dynamics, and (intended as well as unintended) outcomes of tolerance in plural societies. In response to the multifaceted nature of the challenges associated with the concept and practice of tolerance, the Research Unit brings together a multidisciplinary group of researchers to put the disapproval–respect model to the test and build a convincing evidence-based case for it or for a revised and improved version of it (or else replace it with a better alternative in case the model fails to stand the test of our rigorous research). The multidisciplinary composition of the Research Unit will enable us to cover a broad spectrum of relevant facets or dimensions. We will take into account content (e.g., whether religious, ethnic, political, gender, or sexual identities are at stake), context (e.g., the broader national or cultural contexts of intergroup relations), and time perspective (e.g., immediate cause-effect relationships as well as long-term developments). Our concerted effort will move the state of the art forward with a powerful conceptual device for understanding tolerance based on consolidated, mutually supportive insights from different disciplines. We are confident that it will pave the way not only to a scientific but also a public appreciation, in Western societies and beyond, of tolerance that is both realistic (i.e., expects of tolerance neither too much nor too little) and uncontaminated by politicization and ideology.
