Democratic principles, discrimination and political intelerance - 2002
Political intolerance has typically been conceptualized as an unwillingness to extend expressive rights to disliked groups or individuals. One problem with this conceptualizations is that, when a given percentage of individuals in a polity is found to be intolerant, it is not known if these respondents are intolerant because of the actor because of the actor. We conceptualize intolerance multidimensionally, making a distinction between generic and discrimantory intolerance; while the former stems from an wnwillingness to permit the expressive act only when performed by a noxious group. wsing data from the Multi-Investigator II Study (a national telephone survey of adults in the United States), we employed a split ballot technique to decompose the total proportion of intolerant respondents into groups whose intolerance stems from an aversion to the actor (discriminatory) versus those intolerance stems from an aversion to the act (generic). We further explored the genesis of intolerance stems from an aversion to the act (generic). We further explored the genesis of intolerance, finding that the two types we identified stem from different antecedents
