Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social dominance orientation refers to the belief in the inherent hierarchy of social groups and the desire to maintain or increase the power and dominance of one's own group over others. Therefore, people high in social dominance orientation are competitively driven to maintain dominance of some groups over others. Need for structured knowledge refers to the need for order and predictability in one's environment, disidentification refers to the process of distancing oneself from a stigmatized group, and right-wing authoritarianism refers to the belief in strict obedience to authority and a willingness to conform to traditional values and social norms. While these constructs may be related to social dominance orientation, they do not specifically address the competitive drive to maintain dominance.
