Går det att tolerera en oliktänkande vän? - Betydelsen av kön och självkonstruktion för tolerans mot nära vänner
(2024) PSYK11 20232Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between men and women’s interdependence, meaning prioritization of close relationships or group relationships, and level of tolerance towards a friend with dissimilar views. To do this, a survey was created and distributed to students at different universities in Sweden. The survey included questions about the participants' prioritization of social relations and two scenarios to which the participants were asked to score their emotional reaction. A total of 179 students participated in the study. The study found no support for either hypothesis as both men and women had a higher prioritization of close relationships rather than group relationships. Nor was there any support for a... (More)

The study found no support for either hypothesis as both men and women had a higher prioritization of close relationships rather than group relationships. Nor was there any support for a relationship between the prioritization of group relationships and higher tolerance, although results showed that participants with a prioritization of close relationships exhibited lower tolerance. Although unpredicted, women exhibited a general lower level of tolerance towards a friend with dissimilar views than men. In addition to this, women exhibited a lower level of tolerance towards a politically rather than religiously dissimilar friend, whereas there were no significant differences in this among the male participants. Both tolerance and gender differences in interdependence are fairly unexplored subjects and there is a need for further research, especially in a Swedish context.

- Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka relationen mellan män och kvinnors interdependence, det vill säga deras prioritering av nära relationer eller grupprelationer, samt nivå av tolerans mot en oliktänkande vän. För att göra detta skapades och distribuerades en enkät till universitetsstudenter vid olika lärosäten i Sverige. Enkäten bestod av frågor om deltagarnas prioritering av sociala relationer samt två scenarier som deltagarna ombads skatta sin emotionella reaktion till. Totalt deltog 179 studenter i studien. Studien fann inget stöd för hypoteserna då både män och kvinnor prioriterade nära relationer framför grupprelationer. Vidare fanns inget stöd för en relation mellan prioriteringen av grupprelationer och en högre tolerans, men resultaten visade att deltagare med en högre prioritering av nära relationer uppvisade en lägre tolerans. Utöver hypoteserna fann studien att kvinnor uppvisade en generellt lägre nivå av tolerans mot en oliktänkande vän än vad män gjorde. Ytterligare uppvisade kvinnor en lägre nivå av tolerans mot en politiskt snarare än religiöst oliktänkande vän medan inga signifikanta skillnader gick att återfinna hos de manliga deltagarna. Både tolerans och könsskillnader i interdependence är tämligen outforskade ämnen och det finns ett behov för vidare forskning, särskilt i en svensk kontext.
