Social dominance orientation (SDO) is a personality trait that reflects an individual's support for group-based hierarchy and their willingness to dominate and oppress lower-status groups. People high in SDO tend to be prejudiced against those who they view as threatening to the existing social hierarchy, such as ethnic and racial minorities, women, and LGBTQ individuals. SDO has been found to be a strong predictor of various forms of intergroup prejudice and discrimination.
