Abstract:

Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) (Sidanius and Pratto 1999) has been assumed to contribute to the willingness of minority group members to accept their subordinate position in the society. Inversely, it has been purported to be associated with majority group members’ acceptance of their dominant position. Following this logic, I expect that political participation will be positively associated with SDO among majority group members and negatively associated with SDO among minority group members. Data from a representative survey of El Paso, TX residents shows that SDO is positively related to voting and other conventional forms of public participation, as well as unconventional public participation among whites in El Paso. On the other hand, SDO is negatively related to these forms of public participation among Latinos in El Paso. SD theory is both upheld and refined in this test – (1) the expected relationships between SDO and groups are demonstrated and (2) that SD theory does not apply to baseline rates of political participation by nationally subordinate groups in minority-majority localities.
