Περίληψη

Η πανδημία COVID-19 έχει θέσει μια τεράστια πρόκληση σε ιατρικό, οικονομικό και πολιτικό επίπεδο τους τελευταίους μήνες. Η απειλή της ασθένειας, οι περισσότερο ή λιγότερο αυταρχικές βιοπολιτικές των κρατών, η έννοια της κοινωνικής απόστασης, υπαγορεύουν τη διερεύνηση των συνεπειών της πανδημίας σε ιδεολογικό επίπεδο. Χρησιμοποιώντας τα δεδομένα που προέκυψαν από μια έρευνα που διεξήχθη πριν την πανδημία (N = 82) ως σημείο αναφοράς, ο στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν να ελέγξει εμπειρικά την υπόθεση ότι ο δεξιόστροφος αυταρχισμός (Αυταρχισμός - Συντηρητισμός - Παραδοσιακρατία; ACT; Duckitt et al., 2010) αυξάνεται υπό συνθήκες απειλής (Adorno et al., 1950; Sales, 1973). Παράλληλα, διερευνάται ο πιθανός ρυθμιστικός ρόλος του πολιτισμικού φιλελευθερισμού. Επιπλέον, εξετάζεται η υπόθεση ότι η απειλή προβλέπει την προκατάληψη, όπως μας υποδεικνύουν σχετικά ευρήματα (π.χ. Florack et al., 2003). Πραγματοποιήθηκε συλλογή δεδομένων κατά τις εξής τρεις φάσεις της πανδημίας στην Ελλάδα: τις πρώτες εβδομάδες (N = 85), την απαγόρευση κυκλοφορίας (N = 131) και την άρση των περιοριστικών μέτρων (N = 126). Οι υποθέσεις επιβεβαιώθηκαν: υπήρξε αύξηση του Συντηρητισμού και της Παραδοσιοκρατίας, ιδίως μεταξύ των λιγότερο φιλελεύθερων συμμετεχόντων, ενώ οι φιλελεύθεροι φαίνεται να εκφράζουν μειωμένα επίπεδα δεξιόστροφου αυταρχισμού κατά την άρση των περιοριστικών μέτρων σε σύγκριση με την προ COVID-19 περίοδο. Βρέθηκε, επίσης, μια βαθμιαία έκφραση προκατάληψης, με τον πολιτισμικό φιλελευθερισμό να παίζει έναν περιορισμένο, αλλά και πάλι ρυθμιστικό ρόλο. Συζητούνται οι επιπτώσεις της πανδημίας στο ιδεολογικό επίπεδο.
