Resumen
El prejuicio ha sido descrito como un fenómeno generalizado ya que individuos prejuiciosos hacia determinados grupos sociales también suelen serlo hacia otros. Sin embargo, estudios recientes indican que la percepción de peligro expresada por el autoritarismo del ala de derechas y la percepción de competencia intergrupal, expresada por la orientación a la dominancia social, podrían ser factores diferenciales en la explicación del prejuicio generalizado. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue analizar la dimensionalidad del prejuicio generalizado, para luego dar cuenta si el autoritarismo del ala de derechas y la orientación a la dominancia social son predictores de diversas formas de prejuicio. Participaron del estudio 376 estudiantes universitarios de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires con edades entre 18 y 42 años (M = 23.17; DT = 3.1), de los cuales 42,1% eran hombres. Los resultados principales indicaron la presencia de tres dimensiones que agrupaban diferentes grupos sociales, explicados diferencialmente por la orientación a la dominancia social y el autoritarismo del ala de derechas. Estos hallazgos refuerzan la noción del prejuicio generalizado como un fenómeno complejo y multidimensional, explicado diferencialmente por la percepción de peligro y competencia que se manifiesta a través de los niveles de autoritarismo y dominancia.
Prejudice has been described as a generalized phenomenon because individuals who express prejudice towards certain social groups also tend to express prejudice toward other groups. However, recent studies indicate that the perception of danger expressed by right-wing authoritarians and the perception of intergroup competence expressed by individuals with a social dominance orientation could be distinguishing factors in explaining the generalized prejudice. The main aim of this study was to analyse the dimensionality of generalized prejudice and then investigate if right-wing authoritarianism and a social dominance orientation were predictors of various forms of prejudice. The sample comprised 376 college students from Buenos Aires aged between 18 and 42 years (M = 23.17, SD = 3.1), of whom 42.1% were male. The main results suggest that there are three dimensions that distinguish different social groups, which are differentially explained by a social dominance orientation and right-wing authoritarianism. These findings reinforce the notion of generalized prejudice as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, differentially explained by the perception of danger and competence that manifests through individual levels of authoritarianism and social dominance.
