<p>This study examines how gender, Moral Foundations, and self-perceived Masculinity/Femininity interact with Moral Disengagement to shape Attitudes toward LGBTQIA2+ individuals in Greece. Using a sample of 608 cisgender heterosexual adults, the research investigates moderated mediation effects within Moral Foundations Theory, emphasizing the Individualizing and Binding dimensions. Findings indicate that Moral Disengagement exacerbates negative attitudes, particularly among men with high Masculinity. Conversely, Femininity moderates Moral Disengagement, fostering positive attitudes in some cases. Traditional gender norms were linked to higher reliance on binding foundations, reinforcing conservative attitudes.

摘要

This study examines how gender, Moral Foundations, and self-perceived Masculinity/Femininity interact with Moral Disengagement to shape Attitudes toward LGBTQIA2+ individuals in Greece. Using a sample of 608 cisgender heterosexual adults, the research investigates moderated mediation effects within Moral Foundations Theory, emphasizing the Individualizing and Binding dimensions. Findings indicate that Moral Disengagement exacerbates negative attitudes, particularly among men with high Masculinity. Conversely, Femininity moderates Moral Disengagement, fostering positive attitudes in some cases. Traditional gender norms were linked to higher reliance on binding foundations, reinforcing conservative attitudes. Neutral self-perceptions of Masculinity/Femininity corresponded to more inclusive views, challenging rigid social norms. These results reveal the nuanced psychological mechanisms underpinning prejudice and highlight the role of moral frameworks and gender identity in social attitudes. By exploring these dynamics, the study provides insights into combating bias and fostering inclusivity, contributing to the understanding of moral judgments and identity within a cultural context. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.
