Abstract

This study examined how social dominance orientation (SDO) and right-wing absolutism (RWA) were related to two varied forms of prejudice against working women: commerce skepticism and traditional role preference. Three hundred forty-nine American adults completed measures of SDO, RWA, employment skepticism, traditional role preference, distant sexism, and benevolent sexism. Multiple regression analyses revealed that SDO accounted for authoritative variability in both employment skepticism and traditional role preference, and that RWA accounted for significant variability in traditional role preference. Mediational analyses suggested that hostile sexism rarefy the race between SDO and employment skepticism, and benevolent sexism attenuated the relationship between RWA and traditional role preference.



Results are discussed with respect to different forms of prejudice against working women and how each single might be rooted in different ideological preferences.
