“…This is particularly visible in the low correlations of RWA and SDO that resemble other findings from the region (e.g., Duriez, Van Hiel, & Kossowska, , where these two variables were correlated at r = −.03). Also, the correlations of RWA and SDO have been reported as being low in more religious samples as compared to secular student samples (Dallago, Cima, Roccato, Ricolfi, & Mirisola, ). At the same time, even if the two variables are unrelated, their predicted influence on attitudes and behavioral intentions closely resemble the findings from Western Europe and the United States.…”

Two nationwide representative studies (N = 653 adolescents; N = 1007 adults) investigated the psychological correlates of the intention to penalize public expressions of prejudice in the form of support for hate‐speech prohibition. We presented participants with preselected examples of hate speech from the Internet and other mass media and assessed their willingness to support the prohibition of public expressions of such remarks. Both studies found that social dominance orientation and right‐wing authoritarianism are positively correlated with outgroup prejudice, but they have differential effects on hate‐speech prohibition. Social dominance orientation was positively related to the acceptance of hate speech, whereas right‐wing authoritarianism was positively related to hate‐speech prohibition. In discussing this counterintuitive finding, we suggest that right‐wing authoritarians are particularly vigilant toward norm violations—and this makes them more punitive toward counternormative expressions of prejudice, such as hate speech.

“…Considering the necessary interrelatedness of social solidarity and social control as basic strategies of social regulation within groups, the lack of work analysing the relationship between these two sets of ideological attitudes seems surprising. The research that is most relevant to this issue has examined the correlation between social dominance orientation and right‐wing authoritarianism (Dallago, Cima, Roccato, Ricolfi, & Mirisola, ; Duckitt, ; Duriez, Van Hiel, & Kossowska, ; Mirisola, Sibley, Boca, & Duckitt, ; Roccato & Ricolfi, ). However, these studies were mostly concerned with the analysis of the linear relationship between the two dimensions, suggesting that higher social dominance orientation scores (comparable with low social solidarity) should be related to higher levels of right‐wing authoritarianism (comparable with high social control).…”

A Typology of Ideological Attitudes Towards Social Solidarity and Social Control

Research on ideological attitudes has identified two main dimensions that refer to two fundamental features of group organization: social solidarity and social control. In response to prior research that has studied their relationship mainly from a correlational perspective, this paper introduces a social reality model based on psychological functionality of ideological attitudes. Social position variables (education, income and material vulnerability) and insecurity variables (fear of crime and distrust) are used to predict the interplay between ideological attitudes towards social solidarity and social control. Using K-means cluster analysis, a typology with four patterns of support for solidarity and control ('socials', 'repressives', 'minimalists' and 'social-repressives') was created, on the basis of representative survey data for the UK, France and Germany (N = 7034). Results from logistic regression analyses show that the proposed social reality model explains membership in typology categories, with similar results across the three countries. Overall, the model underscores the social origins of ideological attitudes as functional responses to perceived social reality. The paper illustrates how the social psychological study of ideological attitudes may be enriched by a typological approach that examines patterns of attitudes rather than single dimensions.

“…Recent research has also indicated a number of individual difference factors that potentially moderate these relationships. One line of evidence suggests that ideological consistency (i.e., the independence between RWA and SDO) depends on a number of moderating factors including (a) the degree to which society is politically organized along a single left-right dimension (Duckitt, 2001;Duriez et al, 2005), and (b) individual differences in political interest and participation (Mirisola, Sibley, Boca, & Duckitt, 2007), political and religious identity (Dallago, Cima, Roccato, Ricolfi, & Mirisola, 2008;De Regt, 2012), and education (Achterberg & Houtman, 2009). These findings suggest that the motivational goals described in the DPM are closely related to the sociopolitical context.…”

The dual process model (DPM) of ideology and prejudice suggests that right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) should differentially predict support for social versus economic policies. We test a differential prediction hypothesis in which support for social policies should be predicted by RWA, and support for economic policies should be predicted by SDO. We further test a dual mediation hypothesis suggesting that RWA and SDO differentially mediate the indirect effects of distinct combinations of personality traits and social worldviews on these policy attitudes. The hypothesized model provided a reasonable fit in a large New Zealand sample (N = 6,886). Policy attitudes thus consist of at least two dimensions: social versus economic. Individual differences in these attitudes are differentially predicted by RWA and SDO-in much the same way as generalized intergroup attitudes and prejudice.
