Political involvement moderates the impact of worldviews and values on SDO and RWA

摘要

The Dual Process Model ( DPM) of social attitudes and prejudice proposes that Social Dominance Orientation ( SDO) and Right Wing Authoritarianism ( RWA) reflect two distinct motivational processes. In two studies, we investigated how political involvement moderates the impact of social worldviews and value-based dimensions on SDO and RWA. We proposed that political involvement constrains SDO, RWA and their antecedents into a tighter left-right ideological dimension, therefore transforming the double dissociation pattern of the DPM into a double additive pattern. As expected, for stronger political involvement, Study 1 ( N=237) showed that SDO and RWA were a function of both the competitive jungle and the dangerous world worldviews, whereas Study 2 ( N=143) pointed out that SDO and RWA were both connected with the value dimensions of self-enhancement and conservation.
