“…This corresponds to our results in two distinct ways. First, right-wingers tend to present higher SDO levels than left-wingers (Ho et al, 2015; Vilanova et al, in press), so the ideology endorsed by them tends to increase corruption levels. Second, right-wingers tend to endorse the “value” of economic competition more than left-wingers, proposing that the more competition there is in a country, the higher its economic development (for thorough literature on the topic see Rothbard, 1978; Von Mises, 1912).…”

Preliminary studies indicate that ideologies and worldviews are key in understanding the motivation behind corruption. Yet, there is no model seeking to explain corrupt intention that incorporates ideology and worldviews as predictors. Our objective was to propose a model integrating ideological factors (social dominance orientation [SDO] and right-wing authoritarianism [RWA]) and their underlying worldviews (competitive worldview beliefs [CWB] and dangerous worldview beliefs [DWB]) as predictors of corrupt intention and attitudes toward corrupt people and examine the model in the high corruption context of Brazil. For that purpose, preregistered hypotheses were tested across six studies. Results confirmed that corrupt intention is predicted by SDO but not RWA, while attitudes toward corrupt people are predicted by RWA but not SDO (Studies 1, 2, and 4). Replicating these findings cross-culturally, World Values Survey data (Study 3) indicated that corrupt intention is predicted by a proxy SDO index but not by a proxy RWA index. Experimentally increasing DWB amplified corrupt intention, but attitudes toward corrupt people remained unaffected (Study 5). Study 6 further confirmed the independence of corrupt intention and attitudes toward corrupt people, with corrupt intention primarily predicted by CWB and attitudes toward corrupt people primarily predicted by RWA. Hence, the first social psychological model that seeks to explain corruption integrating ideologies and worldviews was successfully proposed with implications for future research.

“…The survey included the 16-item SDO 7 scale (Ho et al, 2015) which has been adapted to the Brazilian context (Vilanova et al, in press). Participants rated the agreement to each item on a 7-point agreement scale ranging from 1 ( totally disagree ) to 7 ( totally agree ), and the scale had good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .88).…”
