Item type:Publication, Populism in Peru: populist attitudes and perception of the populist offer and its relationship with political cynicism and attitudes toward democracy(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-12-20)Populism is a phenomenon that is gaining attention in Political Psychology. The goal of the current study was to determine the relationship between populist attitudes, based on the populist demand and the perception of the populist offer, and several indices of political cynicism and attitudes toward democracy in Peru. To do this, a quantitative correlational study including 391 participants from diverse Peruvian locations was carried out. Both populist attitudes and critical perception of the populist offer are found to be directly related to Political Cynicism in its dimensions of Political Distrust, Political Hopelessness, and Political Moral Laxity, and inversely related to the dimension of Political System Change. Similarly, both dimensions of populism are directly related to Democratic Support and inversely related to Democratic Satisfaction. The findings support the notion that populist attitudes emerge in the context of distrust of the system and express an ambivalent relationship with democracy. Furthermore, the various approaches developed by the social sciences to address the populist phenomenon are discussed in terms of their strengths and limitations. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Antecedents and consequences of political moral laxity: a Peruvian case(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-08)Political Moral Laxity is defined as a set of beliefs and attitudes that tolerate and support dishonest or corrupt actions of authorities and politicians, especially when these actions benefit private interests to the detriment of the public good. Political Moral Laxity is the result of perverse political socialisation in political systems characterised by the lack of legitimacy of authorities, the weakening of institutions and, consequently, the non-compliance of citizens. The current study focuses on the mediating role of Political Moral Laxity between Social Dominance Orientation, the components of the Dark Triad of Personality, and Tolerance to Normative Transgression among Peruvian citizens. For this purpose, 242 Peruvian citizens of both genders (male = 45.9%, female = 53.7%, not specified = 0.4%), of legal age (M age = 20.8, range 18–65), from the region of San Martin in the Peruvian Amazon were surveyed online. Results show that Political Moral Laxity fully mediate the effects of Social Dominance Orientation and only Psychopathy component of the Dark Triad on Tolerance to Normative Transgression. We discuss the results in terms of the Peruvian political system, which is heavily influenced by the neoliberal model, as well as the personality traits that predispose to Political Moral Laxity, thus reinforcing the negative effects of a political model on citizens' dispositions to transgress.3
