We tried to understand responses to the 2020 restrictions on abortions in Poland. We found (N = 255) that religious people (predominantly Catholic) were in favor of the ban as were people who held binding moral values. In addition, people who saw the ban negatively and providing opportunities for duty and mating were less in favor of the ban whereas perceiving the situation created by the ban as affording duty and negativity, and holding binding moral values, mediated the link between religiousness and attitudes towards the ban. Our study represents an important piece of the conversation about why people agreed or protested the ban, which may aid in reconciliation based on mutual understanding. We have provided a study where personality psychology was used to understand a salient social issue.

Abstract
We tried to understand responses to the 2020 restrictions on abortions in Poland. We found (N = 255) that religious people (predominantly Catholic) were in favor of the ban as were people who held binding moral values. In addition, people who saw the ban negatively and providing opportunities for duty and mating were less in favor of the ban whereas perceiving the situation created by the ban as affording duty and negativity, and holding binding moral values, mediated the link between religiousness and attitudes towards the ban. Our study represents an important piece of the conversation about why people agreed or protested the ban, which may aid in reconciliation based on mutual understanding. We have provided a study where personality psychology was used to understand a salient social issue.Pubblicazioni consigliate
