Anxiety and climate change: a validation of the Climate Anxiety Scale in a German-speaking quota sample and an investigation of psychological correlates (2021, background): “Both RWA and SDO are strong negative predictors of various socio-political outcomes such as willingness to act against global inequality, appreciating attitudes toward outgroups, or support of human rights measures (McFarland 2010; Reese et al.”
Mindfulness, Pro-environmental Behavior, and Belief in Climate Change: The Mediating Role of Social Dominance (2018, background): “In addition, evidence of the negative association between SDO and empathy was also provided by several cross-sectional and neuroscientific studies (Bäckström & Björklund, 2007; Chiao, Mathur, Harada, & Lipke, 2009; McFarland, 2010).”
The Aggression-Submission-Conventionalism Scale: Testing a New Three Factor Measure of Authoritarianism (2016, unknown): “In Sample 2, we used a seven-item anti-Black attitude scale (Cronbach’s α = .63) as well as an eight-item sexism scale (Cronbach’s α = .91) adopted from McFarland (2010).”
Hierarchy in the mind: The predictive power of social dominance orientation across social contexts and domains (2012, background): “…nature of SDO, a variable that has been used very widely across psychology, ranging from research on generalized prejudice and discrimination (e.g., McFarland, 2010), to research on workplace aggression (e.g., Parkins, Fishbein, & Ritchey, 2006), to work on career development among urban youth…”
Social Dominance Theory: Explorations in the Psychology of Oppression (2016, background): “McFarland, S. (2010). Authoritarianism, social dominance, and other roots of generalized prejudice.”
Identification With All Humanity: The role of self‐definition and self‐investment (2015, methodology): “In line with McFarland and colleagues (2012), we used SDO, RWA, dispositional empathy, and moral identity as convergence measures.”
Identification With All Humanity as a Moral Concept and Psychological Construct (2013, methodology): “Perhaps the moral intuition found by McFarland and Brown (2008) offers a possibility: Merely presenting the question of how a moral and mature person would think regarding all humanity might inspire many to realize that identifying with all humanity is a moral value they should adopt as their own.”
The person-based nature of prejudice: Individual difference predictors of intergroup negativity (2015, background): “(p. 68) Such patterns of generalised prejudice have been observed in multiple studies, across multiple types of outgroups, in multiple cultures (e.g., Akrami, Ekehammar, & Bergh, 2011; Altemeyer, 1998; Ekehammar, Akrami, Gylje, & Zakrisson, 2004; MacInnis & Hodson, 2012; McFarland, 2010).”
Another Look at Moral Foundations Theory: Do Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation Explain Liberal-Conservative Differences in “Moral” Intuitions? (2014, unknown): “…submission, and aggression—is associated with ethnocentrism (or ingroup favoritism), sexism, homophobia, and punishment of social deviants (e.g., Adorno et al., 1950; Altemeyer, 1996, 1998, 2006; Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003; McFarland, 2010; Napier & Jost, 2008; Whitley & Lee, 2000).”
Social Dominance Orientation and Right‐Wing Authoritarianism: Additive and Interactive Effects on Political Conservatism (2013, background): “The strong additive effects of SDO and RWA are well documented in McFarland and Adelson’s (1996; McFarland, 2010) founding studies, in Duckitt’s (2001) dual process model (DPM), and other research (Altemeyer, 1998).”
Speaking (Un–)Truth to Power: Conspiracy Mentality as A Generalised Political Attitude (2014, result): “This contention is, for example, supported by research showing that RWA and SDO were the proximal predictors of generalised prejudice mediating any effects of the ‘Big Five’ personality characteristics (Ekehammar, Akrami, Gylje, & Zakrisson, 2004; but see McFarland, 2010).”
