The Politics of Dirty Money Público

Abstract

The present study examined how political orientation (i.e., liberal and conservative) influences people’s reasonings about, and desire for dirty money. Given prior research on moral foundations, I hypothesized that conservatives would find dirty money more noxious than liberals because they seem to be more sensitive to purity concerns. In the current study, self-reported liberals and conservatives indicate their desire for money across five different scenarios. Overall, the data revealed that political affiliation did not interact with participants’ judgments about dirty money. Future research is needed to determine the definitive impact of political orientation on dirty money.
