چکیده (انگلیسی):

Based on Lakoff’s (2002) Strict Father and Nurturant Parent metaphors for political conservatism and liberalism respectively ,
two studies explored parenting styles, political ideology , and the moral orientations that might link the two. Restrictive parenting
(by both mother and father) predicted political conservatism, and this path was mediated by a strong Social Order orientation
(Study 1) reflecting, more broadly , an inhibition-based proscriptive morality (Study 2). Political liberalism was associated with
a Social Justice orientation, but was not predicted by nurturant parenting in either study . Study 1 included mothers’ reports of
their own parenting, and these were correlated with the students’ responses. Findings support a restrictive moral underpinning
for conservatism, but raise questions about the assumed unique association between parental nurturance and political liberalism,
which is addressed in the discussion.
