What people are saying
The discussions demonstrate a high level of engagement with detailed references to scholarly work, such as Jonathan Haidt's 'The Righteous Mind,' and cite studies and articles to support claims about moral differences. The tone varies from informative to critical, but mostly reflects an interest in understanding and explaining political morality, which aligns with the scores showing strong interest and moderate engagement.
Most discussions accept the main premise that liberals and conservatives rely on different moral foundations, with some debates on the extent and implications.
The social discussions show high interest, with multiple references to studies, authors, and articles, indicating engagement with the topic.
Participants reference specific research, books, and studies, suggesting deep engagement beyond surface-level opinions.
The discussions could influence opinions and understanding about political morality, but overall mainly reinforce existing knowledge rather than cause major shifts.
Abstract in brief
- Liberals predominantly prioritize the moral foundations of Harm/Care and Fairness/Reciprocity, while conservatives tend to endorse all five moral foundations (including Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity) more evenly.
- This variation was consistently observed across multiple studies that examined moral judgments, reactions to taboo topics, and language use in religious texts.
- Understanding these differences helps explain why moral disagreements are persistent and difficult to resolve within the context of American cultural and political conflicts.]

@RJ_Youngling @atgarone I highly recommend Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind" for thinking about this. One of the haunting findings: liberals tend to concentrate more closely on a couple of moral dimensions, while conservatives use dimensions more equally. Summary: https://t.co/mIyd3K8nHh

Show less emphasis on Ingroup/Loyalty, Authority/Respect, and Purity/Sanctity. Conservatives: Value all five foundations more
@GrisdaleJohn @LBC Ohh, I'm sorry, did you want the associated study? https://t.co/GGyFQvb2WK Fucking idiot.
@Hunter_RileyG @pinkheretic @SecularLobby @JaneCaro Is this the study? Because that's not what Haidt says here. Also, "conservative" is the word he himself uses & he uses "liberal" not "lefty", which you clearly use as a derogatory term. How can you be understanding of people you choose to demean? https://t.co/yjwsdJbvTQ
@carroll_darian @Noahpinion What are "our" values? You do realize that conservatives and liberals have fundamentally different values? https://t.co/GDvnUVUltY
@garrett_amini @BriannaWu Ah yes, if it isn't one of the most consistently reproducible findings in all of political science, that Conservatives and liberals have different moral foundations that map onto things like religion, the military, and duty. https://t.co/EKQ8ZQmRaL
https://t.co/9eZaQCGWbm.
@arithmoquine This isn’t at all “just what it comes down to”… for instance conservatives have a wider moral framework while liberals have a very narrow one and don’t value things like loyalty, respect or sanctity. https://t.co/IAw9UQp7oB

@_ryancallihan @farairesearch @Columbia Thank you for sharing! I wonder what led them to select Gert's common morality as the ground for generating scenarios. I wonder how diverse the scenarios generated would be using other moral frameworks. There is reference to the work of @JonHaidt https://t.co/Y4bRihBReF
@sami_hyttinen Liberaali vaihtoehto tässä ja nimessänne tuntuu viittaavan yhteen kuudesta moraalipilarista. On näyttöä, että esim. konservatiivit hyödyntävät moraalipäättelyssään useampaa (5) pilaria kuin vasemmisto (2). Ehkä ongelma liittyy moraaliperustan kapeuteen. https://t.co/uI2iVGZKjy https://t.co/dKvGvd1jh0

@buckwild8448 @MikeA138 @Fionaek @EndWokeness Incorrect! According to Johnathan Heidt's 5 moral foundations left and right are neck and neck on care (empathy). Of the 5, conservatives are equally strong in all 5 while liberals are only strong in 2 and weak on the other 3. https://t.co/v7ZSHCAJUm

@believe1reality Sounds like you're referring to the moral foundations research, and you have it about right. Liberals are more concerned with care and fairness, less concerned with loyalty, sanctity, and liberty. Conservatives are approx. equally concerned with all 5. https://t.co/4uXK0ZUasx
