Right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation and prejudice against threatening and competitive ethnic groups
TL;DR: The authors found that right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) predict minority members' levels of ethnic prejudice depending on specific factors of the intergroup context: RWA as all index of motivational concerns about social cohesion, stability and security should drive prejudice against outgroups perceived as socially threatening, and SDO as an index of concerns about ingroup superiority and dominance should predict prejudice against potential competitors for power status.
