Social dominance orientation strongly predicts nationalism, racism, and conservatism

Evidence

On the other hand, the test rang up some very impressive correlations (usually over .50) with measures of nationalism, patriotism, cultural elitism, a rejection of noblesse oblige, and anti-Black racism. Connections with other relevant attitudes (e.g., social policies regarding the poor, racial policies, women’s rights, support of the Gulf War, support of capital punishment, and various measures of political-economic conservatism) proved almost as high. — John T.
