Resumen
In two studies conducted in Spain, we identified asymmetries in moral judgements, showing that leftist political topics and individuals were perceived as more moral than their rightist counterparts. Study 1 assessed the participants’ perceived moral obligation to defend topics traditionally associated with leftist or rightist ideologies. Both leftist and rightist participants reported stronger moral obligations towards leftist than rightist topics. Study 2 investigated moral, meta- and self-stereotypes within leftist and rightist political topics. Rightists viewed leftists more positively in moral terms than leftists viewed rightists, particularly in the context of leftist topics. Rightists also anticipated harsher moral judgements from leftists (meta-stereotypes), whereas leftists did not reciprocate. Moral self-stereotypes were similar across groups. These findings reveal moral asymmetry favouring leftist topics and individuals. We discuss the implications for political polarization, intergroup relations and contextual factors that shape these perceptions.
