Partisan groups often overestimate disagreements with rivals, especially concerning their own core values. This perceived value conflict, not rival values, drives negative outgroup evaluations and stereotypes.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Political Psychology
  • Group Dynamics

Background:

  • Partisan social groups frequently exhibit biased perceptions of intergroup relations.
  • Exaggerated differences in opinions and values between opposing partisan groups are common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how partisans perceive attitudinal and value differences with their rivals.
  • To determine the relationship between perceived value disagreement and outgroup evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted involving partisans estimating their own and rival group attitudes.
  • Participants made evaluative judgments about their own and rival groups.

Main Results:

  • Partisans perceive greater disagreement on their own central values compared to rivals' central values.

  • Perceived disagreement on partisans' core values significantly predicts negative global evaluations of outgroup members (disliking, stereotypes, perceived similarity).
  • Partisans believe rivals are motivated by opposition to their values, not by promotion of their own.

    • Conclusions:

    • Perceived ideological distance, particularly regarding one's own core values, is a key driver of partisan animosity.
    • Understanding these motivated perception biases is crucial for addressing intergroup conflict and promoting social cohesion.
