- Abstract (Swedish)
- Studien ämnade undersöka huruvida det finns någon korrelation mellan social dominansorientering och kreativitet. Efter en teoretisk genomgång av de, för studien, centrala psykologiska konstrukten introduceras de tre hypoteserna och frågeställningen; “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med kreativitet”, “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med psykologisk flexibilitet”, “Social dominans samvarierar positivt med psykologisk inflexibilitet”, samt “Hur ser mönstret ut mellan män och kvinnor i nämnda samvariationer?”. Social dominansorientering mättes genom instrumentet SDO 7 och kreativitet mättes genom en kombination av Unusual Uses-test och självskattningsskalor. Slutligen undersöktes även om det fanns några övergripande skillnader i... (More)
- Studien ämnade undersöka huruvida det finns någon korrelation mellan social dominansorientering och kreativitet. Efter en teoretisk genomgång av de, för studien, centrala psykologiska konstrukten introduceras de tre hypoteserna och frågeställningen; “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med kreativitet”, “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med psykologisk flexibilitet”, “Social dominans samvarierar positivt med psykologisk inflexibilitet”, samt “Hur ser mönstret ut mellan män och kvinnor i nämnda samvariationer?”. Social dominansorientering mättes genom instrumentet SDO 7 och kreativitet mättes genom en kombination av Unusual Uses-test och självskattningsskalor. Slutligen undersöktes även om det fanns några övergripande skillnader i svarsmönster baserat på könstillhörighet. Studien genomfördes genom en enkät som spreds online via ett bekvämlighetsurval och sammanlagt svarade 385 på enkäten varav 181 genomförde den i sin helhet. Antalet kvinnliga svarande var betydligt högre än antalet manliga. Studien fann inga statistiskt signifikanta korrelationer mellan social dominansorientering och de andra studerade konstrukten. Den enda könsmässiga skillnaden var att män överlag erhöll ett högre värde på social dominansorienteringstestet än kvinnor. Då studien var av explorativ karaktär och inga signifikanta samband kunde påvisas utöver dem som redan var kända via annan forskning menar författarna att ytterligare forskning på området är nödvändigt.

- Abstract
- The study aimed to investigate whether there exists a correlation between social dominance orientation and creativity. After a theoretical review of the psychological constructs central to the study, the three hypotheses and the scientific question are introduced; “Social dominance orientation co-varies negatively with creativity”, “Social dominance orientation co-varies negatively with psychological flexibility”, “Social dominance orientation co-varies positively with psychological inflexibility” and “In what way, if any, does the sexes differ in these correlations?”. Social dominance orientation was measured through the instrument SDO 7. Creativity was measured through a combination of the Unusual Uses Test and self-assessment scales.... (More)

Social dominance orientation was measured through the instrument SDO 7. Creativity was measured through a combination of the Unusual Uses Test and self-assessment scales. Finally, whether there were any overall differences in response patterns based on gender was examined. The study was conducted through a survey that was distributed online via a convenience sample and a total number of 385 persons responded to the survey, of which 181 filled it out in its entirety. The number of female respondents was significantly higher than the number of males. The study found no statistically significant correlations between social dominance orientation and the other constructs studied. The only gender difference was that men generally received a higher value on the social dominance orientation test than women. This study was exploratory in nature and no statistically significant correlations were found. The authors are of the opinion that further research is needed. (Less)
