Conforming Conservatives: How Norms of Salient Social Identities Overcome ‘Heartless Conservative’ Tendencies

This research considers that conservatives (vs.liberals) may be more likely to conform to the norms of others who share a salient identity. In the context of charitable giving, conservatives’ conformity to norms of other group members to manage impressions results in increased donations. Notably, liberals do not alter their behavior.
