这项研究基于这样的假设：个体差异的偏见受益于所有群体间因素的整合。继Duckitt（2001）之后，我们假设两个显着的个体差异变量，即右翼威权主义（RWA）和社会支配取向（SDO），将根据群体间背景的具体因素，有差别地预测大多数成员的种族偏见水平：RWA作为对社会凝聚力、稳定性和安全性的所有动机关注指标，应该驱动对被视为具有社会威胁的外群体的偏见，而SDO作为对内群体优越性和支配地位的担忧指数应该预测对被视为权力地位潜在竞争者的外群体的偏见。在两项研究中 (Ns = 82, 176)，使用参与者之间和参与者内部的实验设计，当外群体被操纵为具有社会威胁时，RWA 对偏见的影响特别强大，但当外群体被操纵为具有竞争性时，SDO 对偏见的影响似乎不会增加。在研究 2 中，将外群体呈现为低地位也会增加 RWA 的影响，但不会增加 SDO 的影响。这些结果支持 RWA 的差分预测假设，但不支持 SDO。讨论了 RWA 和 SDO 概念化的含义。版权所有 (C) 2008 约翰·威利父子有限公司
This research rests on the assumption that individual differences approaches to prejudice benefit from all integration of intergroup factors. Following Duckitt (2001), we assumed that two prominent individual differences variables, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO), would differentially predict majority members' levels of ethnic prejudice depending on specific factors of the intergroup context: RWA as all index of motivational concerns about social cohesion, stability and security should drive prejudice against outgroups perceived as socially threatening, and SDO as an index of concerns about ingroup superiority and dominance should predict prejudice against outgroups perceived as potential competitors for power-status. Across two studies (Ns = 82, 176), using between-participants and within-participants experimental designs, the effects of RWA on prejudice were particularly powerful when the outgroup was manipulated to be socially threatening, but the effects of SDO on prejudice appeared not to increase when the outgroup was manipulated to be competitive. In Study 2, presenting the outgroup as having low status also increased the effect of RWA, but not the effect of SDO. These results support the differential prediction assumption for RWA, but not for SDO. Implications for the conceptualisation of RWA and SDO are discussed. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
