Abstract
This paper investigates behavior-induced identity inferences (as exemplified by phenomena such as virtue signaling), and their implications for politico-ideological polarization and the emergence of linguistic forms associated with specific politico-ideological positions (such as great replacement, used nearly exclusively by members of the extreme right). Through three simulations, it will be shown that behavior-induced identity inferences consistently increase politico-ideological polarization. However, the emergence of expressions linked to particular politico-ideological stances requires the additional process of schismogenesis, that is, a differentiation process between the behavioral profiles of agents belonging to different groups.
