En jämförelse mellan två nutida modeller avseende prediktion av politiska preferenser utifrån personlighetsdrag och ideologiska attityder

- Abstract (Swedish)
- Inom ämnet psykologi väcktes intresset för sambandet mellan personlighet och politisk- ideologisk åskådning under efterkrigstiden. En politisk psykologi tog form utifrån en ansats där personlighetsdrag betraktades som orsaker bakom ideologisk hemvist och politisk inriktning. Föreliggande studie hade två nutida modeller inom politisk psykologi som utgångspunkt, utformade som prediktionsmodeller. Modellerna har utarbetats av Jost, Federico och Napier respektive Duckitt och Sibley. Jost et al:s (2009) modell beskriver ideologi i termer av attityder till förändring och jämlikhet grundade på psykologisk karaktärsbaserad motivation. Duckitt & Sibleys (2010) modell beskriver ideologi i termer av auktoritarianism samt social dominans grundade på... (More)

Duckitt & Sibleys (2010) modell beskriver ideologi i termer av auktoritarianism samt social dominans grundade på personlighetstyper och världsbilder. Studien var empirisk och gjorde en jämförelse mellan dessa modeller i ett försök att utröna vilken som har störst prediktionsförmåga av politiska preferenser utefter en vänster-höger dimension utifrån personlighetsdrag och ideologiska attityder. I undersökningen användes endast delar av modellerna. Studiens underlag utgjordes av en enkätundersökning gjord på en försöksgrupp där modellerna jämfördes avseende hur mycket variabilitet de förklarar av vänster-höger preferenser. Två statistiska metoder användes för analys av empirin: multipla regressioner samt hierarkisk regression. Resultatet visade att modellerna hade ett i stort sett lika högt förklaringsvärde för prediktion av politiska preferenser hos försöksgruppen. Därtill var förklaringsvärdena höga. Studien indikerade därmed att modellernas prediktionsförmåga av politiska vänster-höger preferenser utifrån personlighetsdrag och ideologiska attityder var i stort sett lika stor. (Less)
- Abstract
- In the science of psychology, the interest in the connection between personality and political and ideological worldview was born in the light of the second world war. A scientific approach of political psychology took shape, in which personality was seen as the cause of ideological attitudes and political preferences. This study has two models of political psychology in present days as the poin of departure. The models have been constructed by Jost, Federic and Napier, and respectively by Duckitt and Sibley. Both of these models are constructed as models of prediction. The model of Jost et al. (2009) describes ideology in terms of attitudes regarding change and equality, based on personal psychological motivation. The model of Duckitt and... (More)

The model of Duckitt and Sibley (2010) describes ideology in terms of authoritarianism and social dominance based on character of personality and personally based worldviews. The study is based on an empirical ground, where the two models were compared to test which of the models had the best prediction effieciency according political preferences, from the point of personality and ideological attitudes. The political preferences were defined along a dimension of left and right. In the study, only those parts of the models were used that were directly linked to the test. A survey based on a test group was used to get the data base underlying the comparison of the models efficiency, i.e. which of the model had the most capability to explain the variability of the test group along the left-right dimension. Two statistical methods were used to analyse the empirical data: multiple regressions and a hierarchical regression. The result pointed out that the two models had nearby the same effiency of prediction of political preferences in the test group. Besides that both models had high effiency. Thereby the study indicates that the prediction effiency of the two models according prediction of political preferences along the left-right dimension, based on personality characteristics and ideological attitudes, were all in all nearby the same.
