Abstract
In an online experimental study, we investigated whether being socially excluded leads to stronger attitude moralization of issues relevant to a group than being socially included, and if that effect is moderated by attachment anxiety. We did not expect a relationship between attitude moralization and attachment anxiety. We sampled 43 first-year psychology students that were randomly assigned to either social inclusion or exclusion condition, and measured attitude moralization of the issue of gender equality. We did not find support for our main and interaction hypotheses. We found a novel relationship between attitude moralization and attachment anxiety, which suggests that the higher the attachment anxiety, the higher the moralization of gender equality in general. However, the study was underpowered and future research should investigate these hypotheses with a larger and more diverse sample. Theoretical implications are discussed. Keywords: Moralization, Moral Conviction, Social Exclusion, Attachment Anxiety
