摘要

COVID-19大流行的爆发导致大多数相关国家采取措施遏制病毒的传播。其中,当局禁止集会,并有时采取强硬措施,包括使用武力,驱散违反这一规定的人。这项研究的目的是调查在多大程度上可以接受严厉的措施来防止这种集会。具体来说,根据政治取向理论,我们假设,当被认为是民主的国家实施这些措施时,对权威具有低价值取向的人更有可能接受这些措施。这种假设民主国家从不采取反民主措施的倾向被定义为民主错觉悖论。正如假设的那样,对359名意大利参与者的结果表明,价值取向得分低的受访者更容易受到这种悖论的影响。他们更有可能认为,如果由他们认为是民主国家实施的严厉措施是可以接受的。相反,当发出命令的国家被判定为专制国家时,使用武力更经常受到谴责。这项研究的含义是表明监测已建立的民主国家和保持对当局颁布的政策的批判性参与意识的重要性。我们为政治取向理论提供支持,认为基于价值观的政治取向有助于防止民主制度退化为专制制度。

Accepting controversial measures in times of COVID-19: The democratic delusion paradox
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led most of the involved countries to take measures to contain the spread of the virus. Among these, the authorities banned gatherings and tough measures, involving also the use of force, were at times adopted to disperse people breaking this rule. The aim of this research was to investigate to what extent harsh measures are considered acceptable to prevent such gatherings. Specifically, in line with political orientation theory, we hypothesized that people with a low value-based orientation to authority would be more likely to accept such measures when implemented by countries perceived as democratic. This tendency to assume that a democratic state never adopts anti-democratic measures has been defined a democratic delusion paradox. As hypothesized, results on 359 Italian participants showed that respondents with low scores on value orientation were more likely to be affected by this paradox. They were more likely to consider harsh measures as acceptable if implemented by a country they perceived as democratic. Conversely, when the issuing country was judged to be authoritarian, the use of force was more frequently condemned. The implication of this research was to show the importance of monitoring established democracies and maintaining a sense of critical participation on the policies issued by the authorities. We provide support for the political orientation theory arguing that a political orientation based on values can help watching democratic systems from degenerating into autocracy.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Social and Political Psychology (JSPP) is a peer-reviewed open-access journal (without author fees), published online. It publishes articles at the intersection of social and political psychology that substantially advance the understanding of social problems, their reduction, and the promotion of social justice. It also welcomes work that focuses on socio-political issues from related fields of psychology (e.g., peace psychology, community psychology, cultural psychology, environmental psychology, media psychology, economic psychology) and encourages submissions with interdisciplinary perspectives. JSPP is comprehensive and integrative in its approach. It publishes high-quality work from different epistemological, methodological, theoretical, and cultural perspectives and from different regions across the globe. It provides a forum for innovation, questioning of assumptions, and controversy and debate. JSPP aims to give creative impetuses for academic scholarship and for applications in education, policymaking, professional practice, and advocacy and social action. It intends to transcend the methodological and meta-theoretical divisions and paradigm clashes that characterize the field of social and political psychology, and to counterbalance the current overreliance on the hypothetico-deductive model of science, quantitative methodology, and individualistic explanations by also publishing work following alternative traditions (e.g., qualitative and mixed-methods research, participatory action research, critical psychology, social representations, narrative, and discursive approaches). Because it is published online, JSPP can avoid a bias against research that requires more space to be presented adequately.
