【 摘 要 】

Post-modernism is a movement that recognizes and encourages different views. As such, it hasshaped contemporary democratic societies. One key feature of these societies is diversity, whichenriches such societies through cultural exchange and learning. However, because diversity can alsolead to conflicts, there have been calls for mutual tolerance (Scanlon, 2003; Popper, 2013). In recentyears, psychology has increasingly acknowledged the notion of tolerance as the attitude that onepermits others to have different ways of life (i.e., their beliefs, preferences, and practices) despiteone’s disapproval of them (e.g., Simon, 2020; see also Verkuyten et al., 2020). Tolerance is madepossible by respecting others regardless of one’s disapproval of them; i.e., by recognizing them asequals (e.g., as citizens with the same rights, duties, and liberties). It is the basis for peace and alsopaves the way for cooperation between people across boundaries.
