“…Graham et al (2009) said that liberals mostly endure the harm/care and fairness/reciprocity foundations of morality while conservatives use five foundations of morality which are harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, in-group/loyalty, authority/respect, and purity/sanctity. Skitka and Bauman (2008), on the other hand, demonstrated that the conservatives and liberals are not different in their political engagement, they stated that "the effects of moral conviction on political engagement are equally strong for those on the political right and left" (p. 50).…”

Individuals with different political attitudes attribute their political tendencies to different sources of moral authority. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between moral authority sources, political attitude and authoritarianism. A total of 128 subjects from two universities participated in this study by completing the Moral Authority Test-Revised (MAS-R) and the Authoritarianism Scale. Respondents were also asked regarding their political tendencies. Findings showed no significant difference of political attitudes in attribution to different sources of moral authority and authoritarianism. There was however a significant relation of authoritarianism with external source of moral authority, but not with principle and self interest sources. This implies that authoritarians relied on external source of authority figures in moral judgment rather than one's own interest or principle issues. The findings were discussed in terms of the characteristics of the sample and sociopolitical sphere of Iran.

“…Et l'on ne peut que reconnaître les limites inhérentes aux enquêtes quantitatives et statistiques pour apprécier toute la complication des enjeux relationnels et identitaires sousjacents ainsi que les effets de leur subjectivation individuelle. Néanmoins, les résultats de cette étude confirment des observations menées dans le cadre d'enquêtes qualitatives (Muxel, 2008 ;Duret, 2010), mais aussi d'investigations d'ordre statistique (Zuckerman, 2005 ;Zuckerman et al, 2007 ;Stitka et Bauman, 2008). Par ailleurs, ils corroborent certaines évolutions significatives des reconfigurations de l'ordre familial, et plus largement de l'ordre privé, dans les sociétés de la postmodernité.…”

Le pluralisme politique à l’épreuve de la vie privée : entre normes et pratiques

Le pluralisme politique à l'épreuve de la vie privée : entre normes et pratiques Anne MUXEL Résumé. L'espace des relations interpersonnelles et privées, en tant qu'espace de politisation et d'expression des choix politiques, est peu connu. C'est à une meilleure connaissance du « citoyen privé » et de la « politisation intime » que cet article veut contribuer, en étudiant les ressemblances et les divergences idéologiques au sein du cercle des proches. Présentant les résultats d'une enquête quantitative et représentative de la population française inédite, « Famille, amour et politique », réalisée par le CEVIPOF, il examine la filiation, la conjugalité et l'amitié, et montre les interactions et les transactions qui opèrent entre le système des normes et le système des affects des individus. La famille apparaît plus hétérogame politiquement, tandis que le couple et le cercle des amis sont plus homogames. Toutefois, c'est le niveau de politisation des individus qui est, en dernière instance, le plus déterminant. Une affiliation politique affirmée, et tout particulièrement à gauche, ainsi qu'un intérêt marqué pour la politique renforcent toujours l'homogamie politique au sein du cercle des proches, dans les principes comme dans les faits. Plus largement, cet article ouvre une réflexion sur l'espace de la vie privée en tant que terrain d'expérience des conditions de la pluralité démocratique.

“…Moreover, there is evidence that moral framings of public policy issues affect engagement according to political orientation. That is to say, different forms of moral framing resonate to a greater or less extent with differing political rationalities (Skitka and Bauman 2008, Feinberg and Willer 2013, Vainio and Makiniemi 2016. If that hypothesis holds true, then it is important to examine how moral framings appear in public discourse and the different forms that they take in order to better understand issues of political legitimacy.…”

Moral reasoning in adaptation to climate change

Moral foundations theory argues that moral reasoning is widely observed and fundamental to the legitimacy of relevant governance and policy interventions. A new analytical framework to examine and test how moral reasoning underpins and legitimizes governance and practice on adaptation to climate change risks is proposed. It develops a typology of eight categories of vulnerability-based and system-based moral reasoning that pertain to the dilemmas around adaptation and examines the prevalence of these moral categories in public discourse about specific adaptation issues. The framework is tested using data on climate change impact, adaptation, and societal responsibility, drawn from 14 focus groups comprising 148 participants across the UK. Participants consistently use moral reasoning to explain their views on climate adaptation; these include both vulnerability-based and system-based framings. These findings explain public responses to adaptation options and governance, and have implications for the direction of adaptation policy, including understanding which types of reasoning support politically legitimate interventions.
