THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BASES OF ECONOMIC SYSTEM JUSTIFICATION: A LATENT CLASS ANALYSIS
Abstract
The theory of the system justification (ESJ) indicates that individuals possess a motivation to justify the social systems to which they belong. The approach to this phenomenon enables to investigate personality characteristics associated with the ESJ. Individual differences such as social dominance orientation (SDO) and right wing authoritarianism (RWA) can constitute the basis of justification. Although there have been numerous advances in the study of the ESJ, research on this type of relationship is unprecedented in the Argentinian context. The objective was to analyze whether SDO and RWA relates to ESJ. The study has a sample of 843 participants (51.8% female; 48.2% male), with an age range of 18 to 88 years (M = 46.03; SD = 15.88). Results indicate that RWA and SDO are positively associated with ESJ through Latent Class Analysis. Therefore, RWA and SDO may be presented as the psychological basis on which ESJ is sustained.Downloads
