Abstract (Swedish)
Studien ämnade att undersöka hur väl personlighet respektive könsidentifiering, var för sig respektive tillsammans, kan predicera ideologisk orientering. För att undersöka detta användes personlighetstestet HEXACO och könsidentifieringstestet BSRI. Syftet med uppsatsen var att öka väljarförståelsen. Studien utgick ifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval (N=272), med 171 kvinnor och 101 män. Samtliga var svenska medborgare och boende i Sverige. Datan samlades in genom en onlineenkät, beståendes av svenska översättningarna av HEXACO-60 & BSRI, samt grundläggande frågor kring kön, ålder och boendekommun. Därefter avslutades enkäten med en fråga där respondenten fick placera sig själv ideologiskt på en niogradig skala där 1 = extremvänster och 9 =... (More)

Datan samlades in genom en onlineenkät, beståendes av svenska översättningarna av HEXACO-60 & BSRI, samt grundläggande frågor kring kön, ålder och boendekommun. Därefter avslutades enkäten med en fråga där respondenten fick placera sig själv ideologiskt på en niogradig skala där 1 = extremvänster och 9 = extremhöger. Flera linjära multipla regressionsanalyser utfördes för att försöka besvara initiala forskningsfrågan. HEXACO uppnådde ett R2 värde på 17.2, BSRI 10.2 och HEXACO+BSRI i kombination 18.1. Samtliga tre modeller, BSRI, HEXACO och BSRI+HEXACO var statistiskt signifikanta (p < .001.) I HEXACO modellen hade både Honesty-Humility (-0.59) och Emotionality (-0.46) en signifikant negativ korrelation med ideologisk orientering. I BSRI modellen hade femininitet (-0.54) en signifikant negativ korrelation medan maskulinitet hade en signifikant positiv korrelation (0.30). Delar av BSRI och HEXACO korrelerade högt, vilket kan vara en delförklaring av den låga ökningen av R2 värdet vid kombination av HEXACO och BSRI. Med vårt resultat har vi kunnat bidra till en ökad väljarförståelse och förståelse för vilka personlighetsfaktorer som påverkar svenskars ideologiska orientering samt till vilken grad. (Less)
Abstract
This aim of this thesis was to examine how well personality and gender-identification, by themselves and combined, were able to predict ideological orientation. This through the personality test HEXACO and gender-identification test BSRI. The purpose of the study was to help improve the understanding of Swedish voters. The sample was a convenience sample (N=272), with 171 women and 101 men, all Swedish citizens, participating. The data was collected through an online survey, containing the Swedish translations of HEXACO-60 and BSRI and standard questions related to gender, age and municipality of residence. The survey ended with a 9 scaled question related to ideological orientation, 1 = extreme left, 9 = extreme right. Separate multiple... (More)
This aim of this thesis was to examine how well personality and gender-identification, by themselves and combined, were able to predict ideological orientation. This through the personality test HEXACO and gender-identification test BSRI. The purpose of the study was to help improve the understanding of Swedish voters. The sample was a convenience sample (N=272), with 171 women and 101 men, all Swedish citizens, participating. The data was collected through an online survey, containing the Swedish translations of HEXACO-60 and BSRI and standard questions related to gender, age and municipality of residence. The survey ended with a 9 scaled question related to ideological orientation, 1 = extreme left, 9 = extreme right. Separate multiple linear regression analyses were conducted in order to attempt to answer the initial research question. The HEXACO model achieved an R2 value of 17.2, meanwhile BSRI reached 10.2. Combined, the HEXACO+BSRI model achieved an R2 value of 18.1. All three models, BSRI, HEXACO and HEXACO+BSRI, were statistically significant (p < .001). In the HEXACO model honesty-humility (-0.59) and emotionality (-0.46) had a significant negative correlation with ideological orientation. Meanwhile in the BSRI model femininity had a significant negative correlation (-0.54) and masculinity a significant positive correlation (0.30). Parts of HEXACO and BSRI had high intercorrelation, which might explain the low gain from combining the two models. With our result we have contributed to the electorate understanding of how personality factors affect swedes ideological orientation and to which degree. (Less)
