Resumo: The present study analyzed the effect of a Historical form of Laïcité (more inclusive), and a Newer form of Laïcité (more restrictive), on intergroup relations in France. Precisely, it assessed how exposure to different forms of laïcité impacts threat perception for the (ir)religious majorities (Atheists and Catholics), blatant and subtle dehumanization towards Muslims, and behavioral intention to vote for an inclusive president. Participants (N = 182) were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions (Historical Laïcité, New Laïcité or a control condition). Results indicated that both Historical and New forms of Laïcité can increase different levels of blatant dehumanization, and both equally decreased Catholic’s behavioral intention to vote for an inclusive president. Also, symbolic threat appeared to be a strong predictor of subtle and blatant dehumanization towards Muslims, and behavioral intention to vote for an inclusive candidate. Finally, our results revealed an implication of (ir)religious identification in blatant and subtle forms of dehumanization and perception of threat: Atheists (vs. catholics) seem to dehumanize more blatantly, Catholics (vs. Atheists) seem to dehumanize more subtly, and Catholics (vs. Atheists) seem to experience more symbolic and anxiety threat from Muslims.

Especificamente, analisou-se se a exposição a diferentes formas de Laicidade afeta a perceção de ameaça intergrupal das maiorias religiosas/não religiosas (ateus e católicos), assim como a expressão de formas flagrantes e subtis de desumanização dos muçulmanos, e a intenção de voto a favor de um presidente inclusivo. Os participantes (N = 182) foram aleatoriamente distribuídos por três condições experimentais (i.e., Laicidade Histórica, Nova Laicidade, condição de controle). Os resultados indicam que, quer a Laicidade Histórica, quer a Nova Laicidade podem aumentar os níveis de desumanização flagrante, e que ambas diminuem a intenção de voto dos Católicos num candidato inclusivo. Além disso, a ameaça simbólica constitui um preditor forte da desumanização subtil e flagrante dos muçulmanos, e da intenção de voto num presidente inclusivo. Finalmente, os resultados mostram uma implicação da identificação (ir)religiosa nas duas formas de desumanização a na perceção de ameaça: os ateus (vs. católicos) parecem desumanizar de forma mais flagrante, já os católicos (vs. ateus) parecem desumanizar mais de forma mais subtil e experimentam mais ameaça simbólica e ansiedade face aos muçulmanos.2019-12-13T12:56:23Z2019-11-26T00:00:00Z2019-11-262019-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/19173TID:202322009engLatasa, Margotinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:59:24Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/19173Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:31:11.684558Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
