The legacy of Nazism: Historical analogies and support for the far right

Figures & data

Figure 1 Path model of Study 1, with perceived historical analogy as the independent variable and electoral support for the far right and opposition to Muslim expressive rights as dependent variables. Path-coefficients are standardized estimates, which are displayed in black for Study 1A and in gray for Study 1B. Correlations between dependent variables are standardized. R² = explained variance. *p < .05, **p < .01.

Figure 2 Path models of Study 2, with historical analogy manipulation as the independent variable and electoral support for the far right and opposition to Muslim expressive rights as dependent variables, and perceived immorality as the mediator. Path-coefficients are standardized estimates, and path-coefficients in brackets reflect direct effects. Correlations between dependent variables are standardized. R² = explained variance. †p < .06, *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001.

Table 2 Means and SDs by historical analogy and control condition, Study 2

	Historical analogy condition	Control condition
1. Perceived immorality	4.46(1.06)^a	3.92(1.39)^b
2. Electoral support far right	2.31(1.66)^a	3.50(2.10)^b
3. Opposition to Muslim expressive rights	4.15(1.02)^a	4.59(1.20)^b

Different superscripts in each row indicate significant differences at p < .05 (one-sided).
