Liberals and Conservatives Rely on Very Similar Sets of Foundations When Comparing Moral Violations

Abstract: Applications of moral foundations theory in political science have revealed differences in the degree to which liberals and conservatives explicitly endorse five core moral foundations of care, fairness, authority, loyalty, and sanctity. We argue that differences between liberals and conservatives in their explicit ratings of abstract and generalized moral principles do not imply that citizens with different political orientations have fundamentally different moral intuitions. We introduce a new approach for m… Show more

“…Other researchers have proposed updates to the original MFQ to better reflect cross-cultural differences (Atari, Haidt, et al 2023a), or using vignettes that relate to each moral foundation rather than asking people to self-report their moral principles (Clifford et al 2015). Work using these vignette approaches suggests that people on the political left and right share more similar moral values than MFT would suggest (Blumenau et al 2024).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
