摘要

Corruption is widely prevalent and has detrimental impacts on modern societies. A recent dual process social psychological model postulates that corrupt intention is associated with Competitive World Beliefs (CWB) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), whereas attitudes toward corrupt people are associated with Dangerous World Beliefs (DWB) and Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA). Here we report three studies testing whether the model replicates when considering original and distinct corrupt intention measures, and across both adult and youth participants from distinct Brazilian samples (Ntotal = 2,337). The associations between CWB, SDO and corrupt intention were consistently robust across all studies, with CWB emerging as the primary predictor of corrupt intention among both adults (Samples 1 and 2) and adolescents (Sample 3). In contrast, the associations between DWB, RWA and attitudes toward corrupt people were negligible, probably due to recent political events in Brazil. This research illuminates the nuanced relationships between worldviews, ideologies and corruption, and offers valuable theoretical and practical insights.
