“…The perpetrator positioned himself in a masculine dominant role by framing himself as a “warrior” for babies, despite a documented history of IPV against former wives and an alleged rape of a woman he had been stalking. These findings are consistent with previous research that right-wing authoritarianism and hostile sexism correlate with more negative views on abortion (Hodson & MacInnis, 2017; Patev et al, 2019). The ties of far-right extremism and strict adherence to traditional gender norms is clear.…”

Despite rhetoric on the association between violence against women and extremist violence, little empirical work has examined the intersection of these forms of violence. Relying on open-source data from the Extremist Crime Database, we examine how these forms of violence intersect in terms of a strained dominant masculinity. Among the 54 extremist offenders with documented histories of violence against women, extremist offenders committed familicides ( n = 23), or violence against women as a precursor to extremist violence ( n = 25). For a small minority of offenders ( n = 6), these forms of violence intersected in a form of settling scores against women and minoritized groups.

“…Figure 1 shows the marginal effect of hostile sexism on the dependent variables with continuous control variables set to their means and factors set to their reference categories. This is consistent with research that finds that hostile sexism predicts a variety of antiegalitarian outcomes (Sakall, 2001;Murphy et al, 2011;Patev et al, 2019). Hypothesis 2 predicted that benevolent sexism would be negatively related to support for gendered public opinion and policy attitudes.…”

Hostile, Benevolent, Implicit: How Different Shades of Sexism Impact Gendered Policy Attitudes

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Advances in gender equality and progressive policies are often stymied by cultural sexist systems and individual-level sexist attitudes. These attitudes are pervasive but vary in type—from benevolent to hostile and implicit to explicit. Understanding the types of sexism and their foundations are important for identifying connections to specific social and political attitudes and behaviors. The current study examines the impact of various manifestations of sexism on attitudes regarding policies and public opinion issues that involve gender equality or have gendered implications. More specifically, we look at attitudes on reproductive rights, support for the #MeToo Movement, equal pay, and paid leave policies. In Study 1 we use data from a high-quality web panel (n = 1,400) to look at the relationship between hostile, benevolent, and implicit sexism, and reproductive rights attitudes, as well as support for the #MeToo Movement. In Study 2 we use data from the American National Election Study (n = 4,270) to examine the relationship between hostile and modern sexism and attitudes on abortion, equal pay, and paid family leave. Overall, these results reveal a complicated relationship between different conceptualizations of sexism and gendered attitudes, underscoring the need to consider how different forms of sexism shape broader social and political views, from both a normative perspective for societal change and a measurement approach for research precision.

“…In past research, disgust sensitivity has been connected to social conservatism (Shook et al, 2017). Additionally, sexual disgust sensitivity ( Patev et al, 2019 ) and pathogen disgust sensitivity (Shook, Oosterhoof et al, 2017) have been connected to RWA. The present study was able to replicate the findings that RWA was significantly correlated to sexual disgust sensitivity, but the correlation with pathogen disgust sensitivity did not reach statistical significance ( p = .20).…”

“…From this perspective, prejudicial attitudes (e.g., anti-immigration and prejudice toward sexual minorities) and the socially conservative values (e.g., right-wing authoritarianism; RWA) that promote them could operate, in part, as a crude means of mitigating the spread of infectious disease by discouraging contact with outgroup members. The BIS has been associated with a wide range of prejudicial attitudes and socially conservative values including anti-immigration, prejudice against gay men and lesbian women, RWA, and in-group favorability and out-group derogation ( Hodson and Costello, 2007 ; Navarrete and Fessler, 2006 ; Patev et al, 2019 ; Terrizzi, Shook, and Ventis, 2010 ). Furthermore, Trump supporters' vaccination concerns increased after being exposed to Trump tweets that depicted his anti-vaccination beliefs ( Hornsey, Finlayson, Chatwood, and Begeny, 2020 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique opportunity to explore the relationships between the behavioral immune system (BIS), Political Ideology, and disease avoidant attitudes (e.g., attitudes toward vaccination and attitudes about COVID-19). The BIS (e.g., disgust) is believed to be the first line of defense against pathogens and has been linked to socially conservative values. Ironically, however, the BIS has also been associated with anti-vaccination attitudes. In the current study, American participants ( N = 139) completed an online survey with self-report measures of the BIS (e.g., disgust sensitivity and perceived infectability), political ideology, COVID-19 attitudes, and anti-vaccination attitudes. Disgust sensitivity was positively correlated with anti-vaccination attitudes but not significantly correlated with attitudes toward COVID-19. Perceived infectability, however, was negatively correlated with anti-vaccination attitudes and positively correlated with anxiety and knowledge about COVID-19. Right-wing authoritarianism and support for Trump were negatively correlated with knowledge and anxiety about COVID-19 and positively correlated with anti-vaccination attitudes.
