Description
Two hundred and thirty-seven students completed a survey assessing their political identity, religious identity, compassionate love for all humanity, and tendency to dehumanize democrats and republicans. Demographic information was also collected. Early descriptive and comparative statistics will be calculated to demonstrate potential differences in common love for all humanity and dehumanization as a function of political and religious identity. Future data analyses will seek to identify variables that moderate the hypothesized relationship between strength of political identity and dehumanization of the outgroup.
