A Renewed Research Agenda to Address Global Religious Violence and Foster Religious Pluralism
The ability of religion to both unite and divide us is a central research topic across academic disciplines. There is important research on the conditions of religious pluralism and tolerance, violence and discrimination, yet disciplinary silos and disconnects between the academy and the public remain barriers to progress. To investigate these problems, we convened 56 scholars of religious pluralism and conflict from different national contexts o…
Beyond Black and White
Religious Discrimination and Othering in the U.S. After October 7th
Recent global conflicts have amplified long-standing patterns of religion-related bias and discrimination in the U.S. The continuing war on Gaza has led to bias, hostility, and violence against both Muslims and Jews in the U.S. We present an overview of results from a new 1308-person national survey data collection gathered through NORC’s AmeriSpeak Panel with oversamples of Jews and Muslims. Our findings reveal important reversals, asymmetries, …
How Workplace Support of Religion and Spirituality Buffered Burnout During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing resource gaps, particularly in the workplace, often leading to burnout. Research shows that religious and spiritual resources buffer workplace burnout, but little research examines the impact of workplace support for religion and spirituality (R/S) on workplace burnout. Using a nationally representative survey of U.S. workers during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 1,492), we analyze the association of workpla…
Racial Identity and Endorsements of Anti-Black and Anti-White Stereotypes
Using data from a 2023 YouGov survey of U.S. adults, we examine whether the strength of Black and White respondents' racial identities are associated with their endorsements of anti-Black stereotypes that blame Blacks for their unequal position in society and anti-White stereotypes that blame Whites for their indifference to racial inequality and protection of their privilege. We find that, among Black respondents, a stronger racial identity-and …
Race differences in support for anti‐racism policies
Introduction Support for anti‐racism policies such as mandatory diversity training and affirmative action varies by race. Research in the racial resentment and symbolic racism traditions focuses on whites’ endorsements of stereotypes that blame blacks for their unequal position in society, causing whites to be less supportive of anti‐racism policies. Systemic racism theory suggests an additional hypothesis: People who believe whites are not doing…
Beyond racial resentment
Introduction Systemic racism theory has become a central part of academic and public discussions about criminal justice institutions and reforms. Little, however, is known about the association between people's belief in the ubiquity of systemic racism and their attitudes toward criminal justice institutions and reforms. Methods To fill this gap, we examine the association between systemic racism beliefs and support for police, police reform, and…
The Moral Foundations of Christian Nationalism
Why does Christian Nationalism (CN) resonate with some Americans but not others? We employ Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) to fill this gap. MFT posits that individuals possess a moral matrix made up of concerns for group cohesion (authority, loyalty, and sanctity), egalitarian ideals (care and fairness), and individual autonomy (liberty). Using a nationally representative survey (N = 1,125), we find that support for CN is largely motivated by con…
Moral intuitions and vaccine hesitancy during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Background While the COVID‐19 pandemic has resulted in millions of deaths worldwide, the rapid development and distribution of novel vaccines reduced the scale of severe illness and death. Even so, many people remain unvaccinated. Objective We investigate the extent to which various moral intuitions are associated with COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy. Methods We use data from a 2021 national YouGov sample of U.S. adults and logistic regression to exam…
Social Justice and Social Order
Few topics are as heavily studied as Americans' beliefs about racial disparities. Most of this research examines white people's endorsements of stereotypes that blame black people for their unequal position in society. Research in the racial resentment and symbolic racism traditions is perhaps the best-known example of this approach. This research, however, is incomplete and is becoming more so as contemporary U.S. discourse expands to incorporat…
Moral intuitions and attitudes towards affirmative action in college admissions
For whom is patriotism blind? Examining the roles of moral intuitions and system justification
Social order and social justice
We examine the influence of moral intuitions on Americans’ divergent attitudes toward Black Lives Matter (BLM) and police. Drawing on Moral Foundations Theory, we hypothesize that individualizing moral intuitions that put care and protection of the vulnerable at the center of moral concern (a social justice orientation) lead people to express positive feelings toward BLM and negative feelings toward police, whereas binding moral intuitions that p…
The Resonance of Repression
The limited research on support for state repression of protests points to protest violence, ideological opposition, and racial/ethnic resentment, but few have examined how moral intuitions influence support for repression and racialized opposition to protest claims. The authors use a national survey of 1,030 respondents, fielded in June 2020 at the height of the post-Floyd Black Lives Matter protests, to investigate the moral motivations for sup…
Academic Orientation as a Function of Moral Fit
Researchers have studied academic orientation-students' valuing of and commitment to education-as in part a function of a cultural fit between students' cultural capital, competencies, identity, and the institutional culture of the education system. Recent research on students' aspirations and commitment highlights the moral undertones of such cultural fit. Scholars have identified the perceived moral connotations of becoming 'an educated person'…
