Social dominators are more prejudiced but less behaviorally aggressive than authoritarians
Evidence
Looking back, what do the nine studies reported in this paper tell us about High SDOs? First, social dominators outpointed even the High RWAs in prejudice. But they did not act as aggressively as right-wing authoritarians in the Trials or Posse situations. So however prejudiced they may be, we cannot color them dark, dark authoritarian aggressive. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 1051
