Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study analyzes the relationship between political ideology and different expressions of\nprejudice in a sample of inhabitants of the city of Lima (N = 199). The variables studied are:\nintolerance of uncertainty and ambiguity, the Left/Right Position, Right-Wing\nAuthoritarianism (RWA), Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), Homophobia, Ambivalent\nSexism and Prejudice toward ethnic minorities. Two structural equation models were\nproposed. One of them showed a better degree of fit and suggests that intolerance of\nuncertainty and ambiguity influences RWA and SDO. Also RWA and SDO influence the\nvarious forms of prejudice. However, RWA has a better predictive capability with respect to\nthe diverse forms of prejudice in contrast to SDO. The final discussion proposes that is\nreasonable to use in Perú a multidimensional ideological approach, and the theoretical\nproposal of conservatism as motivated social cognition, to understand prejudice and negative\nstereotyping toward threatening or low-status groups. Individuals with greater tendency\ntoward right-wing authoritarianism and conservatism tend to perceive these groups as threats\nto traditionally established social order.
