Moral Circles Heatmaprefers to two heatmap charts of moral allocation distribution done by conservative and liberal participants. The charts, in which the larger rings also include the smaller rings, reflect how conservatives and liberals distribute their moral regard, with the highest value on the conservatives' heatmap falling within the "all of your friends" range and the highest value on the liberal responders' heatmap falling within the "all living things in the universe including plants and trees" circle. Starting in 2024, the heatmap has been used by conservatives in online arguments to argue that liberals hold less regard for their family and friends than for migrants, strangers and humanity as a whole. A reaction image based on the chart is known as Opinion Dismissed Heatmap.
