Big-Five personality prospectively predicts Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism

The Dual Process Model of Ideology and Prejudice: A Longitudinal Test During a Global Recession

“…The two prior longitudinal studies have failed to detect cross-lagged effects of conscientiousness on RWA in undergraduates (Perry & Sibley, 2012;. Our results were consistent with these prior studies in failing to detect a significant cross-lagged effect.…”

“…The present study provided the first full longitudinal test of the causal relations between personality, social worldviews, and SDO and RWA proposed by the DPM over a one-year period. The study extended previous research in this area by testing a full cross-lagged model in a community sample (Sibley & Duckitt, 2010b;Perry & Sibley, 2012; see also Sidanius et al, in press). More importantly, the study capitalized on the onset of the global financial crisis in order to test processes hypothesized by the DPM at a time when they should have been readily apparent.…”

“…This can make it exceedingly difficult to test predictions derived from the DPM regarding socio-structural cause, and also for other related theories, given that one is arguably reliant on observing causal effects over periods where societal conditions have changed. Prior longitudinal studies provide promising evidence for the proposed cross-lagged effects of both Big-Five personality (Perry & Sibley, 2012;Sibley & Duckitt, 2010b), and related traits such as empathy (Sidanius et al, in press) on SDO and RWA. However, research on the full DPM using a full cross-lagged panel design remains lacking.…”

Religious Ambivalence: Suppression of Pro-Social Attitudes Toward Asylum Seekers by Right-Wing Authoritarianism

“…Right-Wing Authoritarianism was measured using a shortened eight-item version of Altemeyer's (1981) original scale, adapted by Perry and Sibley (2012): E.g. "The only way our country can get through the crisis ahead is to get back to our traditional values, put some tough leaders in power, and silence the troublemakers spreading bad ideas".…”

The person-based nature of prejudice: Individual difference predictors of intergroup negativity

“…Experimental evidence demonstrates that inducing social threat increases RWA through increased dangerous worldview, but exerts less influence on SDO (e.g., Duckitt & Fisher, 2003). Longitudinal panel studies testing the different parts of the models are still relatively scarce, yet published longitudinal studies confirm effects of the hypothesised personality factors (Perry & Sibley, 2012), worldview beliefs (Sibley, Wilson, & Duckitt, 2007), and perceived threat in society (Onraet, Dhont, & Van Hiel, 2014;see Onraet, Van Hiel, Dhont, & Pattyn, 2013; for a meta-analysis) on socio-ideological attitudes.…”
