Social Dominance Orientation
Description:
Pay special attention to the methods used by the researchers. What are the strengths
and limitations of the methods used? Also, evaluate their proposed notion (hypothesis)
of 800 as a distinct personality characteristic that has practical value (e-g-, it can be
used to predict important behaviors)-
There is much data presented in this paper, so provide just some examples of results
that support or reject their hypotheses concerning 800. For example, is there data to
support that 800 predicts the types of roles a person prefers, or does SDO predict
preference for in-group vs out-group superiority? Also consider if 800 predicts
preference for hierarchy-enhancing vs hierarchy-attenuating social structues- These
are just some examples; you should explore other ideas after carefully reading the
paper.
