Research on attitudes towards gender-related affirmative action is relatively scarce; furthermore only few studies focused on the predictors of such attitudes (Feather & Boeckmann, 2007). In this research we examined if ambivalent gender attitudes (i.e., sexism and ambivalence towards men; Glick et al., 2004), social dominance orientation and right-wing authoritarianism predicted support for gender-related affirmative action. We also tested if ambivalent gender attitudes acted as mediators in the relation existing between social dominance orientation, right-wing authoritarianism and attitudes towards gender-related affirmative action.

Abstract

Research on attitudes towards gender-related affirmative action is relatively scarce; furthermore only few studies focused on the predictors of such attitudes (Feather & Boeckmann, 2007). In this research we examined if ambivalent gender attitudes (i.e., sexism and ambivalence towards men; Glick et al., 2004), social dominance orientation and right-wing authoritarianism predicted support for gender-related affirmative action. We also tested if ambivalent gender attitudes acted as mediators in the relation existing between social dominance orientation, right-wing authoritarianism and attitudes towards gender-related affirmative action.
