We have two main empirical results. First, … Expand. Some people see the world as a largely safe place with isolated pockets of violence. Others see the world as threatening, with isolated pockets of tranquility. Progressive Activists also stand out from other groups as the most secure of any tribe by far.
They view threats to their safety as fearmongering by their opponents, not a clear and present danger to their wellbeing. Simultaneously, Progressive Activists hold the most pessimistic views about the country's future.
Core Belief 3: Parenting Style and Authoritarianism. The Hidden Tribes report confirms those findings. How Americans view parenting closely tracks their views on many political issues.
For example, people who endorsed a strict parenting style are more likely to oppose gay marriage, believe that America needs more faith and religion than reason and science, and worry about a decline in family values. These connections with parenting style are shown in the figure below. Core Belief 4: Moral Foundations. Morality is about more than just equal treatment.
The book The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt, which provides important insights into the ways in which morality underlies political behavior, explains how morality is comprised of at least five pillars.
These pillars, also called moral foundations , are:. We asked subjects a series of questions designed to assess how concerned they were with each of the five moral foundations in their moral judgments. Our results showed strong distinctions according to the various tribes.
Progressive Activists and Traditional and Passive Liberals tended to care more about Harm and Fairness than the other foundations, while right-leaning groups such as Traditional and Devoted Conservatives cared about all five foundations. Subjects' concern about each of the foundations closely tracks their views on other issues.
Core Belief 5: Personal Agency and Responsibility. Conservatives tend to emphasize independence, responsibility and self-reliance, while liberals focus more on systemic injustices and collective responsibilities. Another way of conceptualizing this is that people tend to attribute life outcomes either to personal responsibility or to luck and circumstance. Some people believe that individuals should get credit for their successes because they were caused by factors within their control.
Others believe that outcomes are mostly the result of external forces. These views have important implications. For example, the more people believe that luck played a role in life, the more likely they are to support Black Lives Matter activists.
There is far more common ground among Americans than we might imagine, judging from the constant conflict among pundits, politicians, and social media users. This is true even on some of our most debated issues. The Hidden Tribes survey just scratched the surface on those issues.
The fact that the overwhelming majority of people acknowledge that racism is a real problem opens the door for continued conversations about how the country moves forward. Another key area of agreement is the aspect of immigration policy regarding Dreamers: people brought to the United States illegally as children and given provisional legal status under the DACA program during the Obama administration. Three-quarters of all Americans believe there should be a pathway for these individuals to obtain citizenship through serving in the military or attending college.
This exemplifies how the current polarization is leading to gridlock in American politics and preventing us from finding solutions supported by an overwhelming majority.
Four out of five Americans believe "political correctness has gone too far in America"—a issue where most Americans with liberal views agree with Conservatives, again showing America is so much more than two tribes. The American electorate is more complex than the oversimplified story of polarization would make us believe. The majority of Americans, the Exhausted Majority, are frustrated and fed up with tribalism.
They want to return to the mutual good faith and collaborative spirit that characterize a healthy democracy. Being able to discuss our genuine disagreements remains important. While our differences are often rooted in divergent views, that does not mean we cannot find common ground. By acknowledging and respecting the values that animate our beliefs, we can begin to restore a sense of respect and unity.
