However, the specific features of norm psychology are not yet fully examined. This paper is focused on the perception of moral essentialism (umbrella term for perceived absolutism, universalism, and objectivism of moral norms). Cultural group selection favors groups with prosocial norms and when these norms are strong and stable, selection favors individuals with norm psychology that helps them to comply with the norms. I investigated whether moral essentialism could be part of such norm psychology in three studies using large-scale datasets from the US. First, Pew Religious Landscapes, Tightness-Looseness index, and FBI Crime Reports show that normatively tighter states in the US have more moral absolutists, and that the percentage of moral absolutists is negatively associated with the number of robberies (N=50). Second, data from World Values Survey suggest that moral absolutists justify transgressions against societal norms less than relativists across the US (N~5000). Finally, data from the National Study of Youth and Religion suggest that moral essentialists in the US benefit by being less likely punished by the local legal system (N~2000). ER -
