People pleasing och att anpassa sig efter andra - en studie om sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet
(2023) PSYK11 20231Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna studie har utförts med syfte att undersöka sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet, samt könsskillnader inom dem. Relationen mellan dessa variabler är hittills outforskad, men tidigare forskning föreslår att det rimligen finns ett positivt samband mellan dem. Denna studie kan därmed bidra till viktiga kompletterande perspektiv för att uppnå en bredare förståelse av individuella egenskaper samt beteenden i sociala situationer. Genom en internetbaserad enkät uppmättes sociotropi med frågor tagna från Sociotropy-Autonomy-Scale (SAS). Konformitet mättes genom konstruerade sociala scenarier. Med totalt 140 respondenter frambringades resultat som avslöjade en signifikant korrelation mellan sociotropi och konformitet (r = .53, p <... (More)

Genom en internetbaserad enkät uppmättes sociotropi med frågor tagna från Sociotropy-Autonomy-Scale (SAS). Konformitet mättes genom konstruerade sociala scenarier. Med totalt 140 respondenter frambringades resultat som avslöjade en signifikant korrelation mellan sociotropi och konformitet (r = .53, p < .001). En linjär regressionsanalys visade att sociotropi, tillsammans med kön och ålder, förklarar 35% av variansen inom konformitet (F(3;136) = 24, p < .001, R2 = .35). Vidare gjordes oberoende t-tester för att undersöka könsskillnader. I linje med tidigare forskning uppvisade kvinnor signifikant högre nivåer av både sociotropi och konformitet, med en större effektstorlek inom sociotropi (t(138) = 8.146; p < .001; Cohen's d = 1.45), än konformitet t(138) = 2.439; p = .016, Cohen's d = .43). Resultaten som tagits fram påvisar ett positivt samband mellan variablerna och att sociotropi delvis förutsäger konformitet. Eftersom ingen tidigare känd forskning har behandlat relationen mellan sociotropi och konformitet finns det ett behov av framtida studier inom området. För att ytterligare djupdyka i sambandet mellan variablerna föreslår vi att lägga till andra variabler som eventuellt kan ha betydelse för resultaten. (Less)
- Abstract
- This study was aimed to examine the relationship between sociotropy and conformity, together with gender differences within them. While this specific intersection of subjects has not been explored earlier, previous research suggests it would be reasonable to expect a positive relationship between them. This study could therefore contribute to important supplementary perspectives to achieve a broader understanding of individual differences and social behaviours. Through an internet based survey, sociotropy was measured with questions taken from the Sociotropy-Autonomy-Scale (SAS). Conformity was measured through constructed social scenarios. With a total of 140 respondents, the results revealed a significant correlation between sociotropy... (More)

While this specific intersection of subjects has not been explored earlier, previous research suggests it would be reasonable to expect a positive relationship between them. This study could therefore contribute to important supplementary perspectives to achieve a broader understanding of individual differences and social behaviours. Through an internet based survey, sociotropy was measured with questions taken from the Sociotropy-Autonomy-Scale (SAS). Conformity was measured through constructed social scenarios. With a total of 140 respondents, the results revealed a significant correlation between sociotropy and conformity (r = .53, p < .001). A linear regression analysis showed that sociotropy, together with gender and age, can explain 35% of the variance in conformity (F(3;136) = 24, p < .001, R2 = .35). Moreover, independent t-tests were done to investigate gender differences. In line with previous research, women showed significantly higher levels of both sociotropy and conformity, with a stronger effect size in sociotropy (t(138) = 8.146; p < .001; Cohen's d = 1.45), than conformity (t(138) = 2.439; p = .016, Cohen's d = .43). The results suggest a positive relationship between the variables and that sociotropy partly can predict conformity. Since no former research has examined the relationship between sociotropy and conformity, there is a need for future research in the field. To explore the relationship between the variables more in depth, we suggest adding other variables that possibly could have a significance for the results. (Less)
