PS271 Lecture 8: PS271 - Lecture Notes - 11.05.15
Document Summary
We have been raised to not discuss religion and politics. We are going to study the relationship between personality and politics: science between correlations. Word of the day: authoritarian: a person or party social dominance orientation: concept of social dominance; a preference for hierarchy over social equality right wing authoritarianism: disapproves of people challenging the system or authority (see pg. 101/table 7. 1); three tendencies: i. to conform to conventional norms, ii. to obey those authorities, iii. support aggression against non-conformists. Correlation coefficient r = . 10, . 30, . 50, . 70 [same thing/similar] Relationship between social dominance orientation (sdo) and right wing authoritarianism (rwa): The correlation between sdo and rwa is r = . 30, therefore it is a medium correlation. Sdo has a correlation of r = . 40 with political orientation. Rwa has a correlation of r = . 50 with political orientation. Only being tested on the research findings and what you know.
