“…Eight items (with equal numbers of pro-trait and contrait) were used from Altemeyer's (1996) RWA scale, which were rated on a scale ranging from À4 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). These items had all shown high item-total correlations with the full RWA scale in previous research in New Zealand (Duckitt, 2001). The alpha coefficient for this eight-item RWA scale was 0.74.…”

“…Six items (with equal numbers of pro-trait and contrait) were used from Pratto et al's (1994) SDO scale, which were rated on a scale ranging from À4 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The six items were those items that had shown the highest item-total correlations in previous use of the SDO scale in New Zealand (Duckitt, 2001;Duckitt, Wagner, du Plessis, & Birum, 2002). The alpha coefficient for these six items was 0.73.…”

“…(3) Attitudes to ethnic minorities. In order to measure attitudes to the three New Zealand ethnic minorities, Asians, Pacific Islanders and Maori, two Likert items (one pro-trait and one contrait) were selected for each group from scales previously used to assess attitudes to these groups in a series of studies in NZ (Duckitt, 2001;Duckitt et al, 2002). Items were rated on a scale ranging from À4 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree).…”

Prior research suggests that individuals' prejudiced attitudes form a single generalized dimension predicted by Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO). A dual process approach, however, expects different domains of generalized prejudice that relate differentially to RWA and SDO. To test this, 212 participants rated attitudes to 24 typically disliked groups. Factor analysis revealed three distinct generalized prejudice dimensions. Hierarchical Linear Modelling indicated that attitudes towards a 'dangerous' groups domain was significantly related only with RWA, attitudes toward a second 'derogated' groups domain was related only to SDO, and attitudes toward a third, 'dissident' groups, domain was significantly related to both, but powerfully with RWA and weakly with SDO. These findings have implications for explaining and reducing prejudice.

“…Our admittedly quick-fix solution, inspired in part by Duckitt (2001), Tetlock (1989), andAltemeyer (1996), is to suggest a framework consisting of one content dimension and one content-free dimension and view them as orthogonal. 4 From this perspective, one dimension could be called right-left, referring to the content of ideology.…”

Presenting an impressive model based on a large body of evidence, J. T. Jost, J. Glaser, A.W. Kruglanski, and F. J. Sulloway (2003) proposed that political conservatism uniquely serves epistemic, existential, and ideological needs driven by fears and uncertainties. The authors offer an alternative view based on conceptual considerations, historical events, features of communist ideology and practice, and additional social science research not reviewed by Jost et al. (2003). First, the authors take issue with Jost et al. 's (2003) description of the two core components of political conservatism. Second, they propose that the motives in the model are equally well served by rigid adherence to any extreme ideology regardless of whether it is right wing or left wing.

“…A closely related measure, Social Dominance Orientation (SDO; Pratto, Sidanius, Stallworth, & Malle, 1994) is frequently included with RWA in predicting a range of social attitudes (Duckitt, 2001) SDO is closely conceptually related to RWA and yet often correlations are relatively low. SDO is generally considered to be unidimensional (but see Jost & Thompson, 2000).…”
