摘要

This study examines how political orientation influences corruption perception through a between-subjects experiment. Participated in the study 388 residents of Brasília. Three versions of a scenario was used, each depicting a bribe proposition by a deputy whose political orientation varied. The research also assessed Social Dominance Orientation, Belief in a Just World, Trust, and Jeitinho. The logistic regression showed that experimental manipulation impacted corruption perception associated with the right-wing scenario. Jeitinho Simpatico and Distrust positively impacted the corruption perception, while Belief in a Just World had a negative relationship. Participants who self-categorized as centrist reported more corruption perception, and the interaction between experimental condition and participants’ political orientation revealed a marginally significant tendency of the left-wing to evaluate the right-wing deputy as more corrupt than the left-wing deputy. These findings suggest that political orientation can influence corruption perception in a politically polarized context. Caution with the generalizability of such results should be taken considering a significant part of the sample could not correctly classify the scenario political orientation.
