“…The twin pairs were recruited from the Berlin Twin Registry. 6 We obtained a medical history and conducted a physical examination prior to study entry. Blood pressure was measured by experienced study nurses after a 5 0 rest; the average of three measurements was recorded.…”

“…The JeTSSA sample consists of 226 monozygotic (MZ) and 168 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs, including 67 opposite-sex DZ twin pairs mainly from the Jena Twin Registry. Part of the sample consists of twins that were recruited from the Berlin Twin Registry (Busjahn, 2006) and the Bielefeld Twin Registry (Spinath et al, 2002). Twins were offered a personality profile and a compensation of 12 € for participation.…”

The Jena Twin Registry focuses on identifying twins in eastern Germany. It is based in part on registers of multiple births and data from registration offices, and in part on a volunteer sample approached by media calls and twin clubs. The Jena Twin Study of Social Attitudes (JeTSSA) is the first study based on the Jena Twin Registry. In a sample of 226 monozygotic and 168 dizygotic adult twin pairs, self- and independent reports of significant others (peers, spouses, parents) are collected to estimate genetic and environmental effects on social attitudes and the covariation of genetic influences on personality traits and social attitudes. In addition, the effects of measured environmental variables on attitude formation are examined.

Our knowledge on the personality basis of ideological attitudes and prejudice, while based on a substantial body of research, suffers from a potentially serious methodological limitation: an overreliance on the method of self-reports. Across 2 studies (Ns = 193, 424), we examined associations between the Big Five personality dimensions, Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA), Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), and generalized prejudice, using both self-report and peer-report data stemming from 1 (Study 1) or 2 (Study 2) peer rater/s. Correlational and regression analyses as well as structural equation modeling showed that (a) the associations between personality dimensions, ideological attitudes, and prejudice were largely similar to previous research for both data sources; (b) RWA and prejudice showed a similar level of self-peer agreement to personality dimensions; (c) most of the known associations between personality, ideological attitudes, and prejudice were replicated also when measured by independent methods; (d) peer reports had some incremental validity in predicting ideological attitudes and prejudice; and (e) there was evidence that Openness to Experience and Agreeableness predicted prejudice directly and not only indirectly via RWA and SDO, respectively. Implications for the status of RWA, SDO, and prejudice as individual-difference constructs and for their bases in personality dimensions are discussed.
