Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido realizar una evaluación de los factores subyacentes tanto a la ideología política como a nuestras creencias religiosas. Distintas líneas de investigación han puesto de manifiesto las relaciones existentes entre Autoritarismo (Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswick, Levinson y Sandford, 1950; Altemeyer, 1981) y Dominancia Social (Pratto, Sidanius, Stallworth, y Malle, 1994), sin embargo la investigación ha mostrado distintos patrones de relaciones entre muestras norteamericanas y europeas. Nuestros resultados se encuentran en la misma línea que otros estudios europeos, ya que autoritarismo y SDO mostraron una fuerte relación entre sí. Asimismo, encontramos que sólo el autoritarismo guardó relación con las creencias religiosas, mientras que ambas variables se encuentran relacionadas con la ideología política. Finalmente, encontramos que la relación entre autoritarismo, SDO e ideología política es más intensa para aquellos participantes que no han cambiado su voto en los diferentes comicios evaluados, mientras que este patrón de relaciones con la ideología desaparece para aquellos otros participantes que informan de al menos un cambio de opción política elegida.

Abstract

The central aim of this research was to examine factors underlying political ideology and religiousness in a Spanish context. Different research programs have pointed out several relationships between two different constructs: authoritarianism (Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswick, Levinson y Sandford, 1950; Altemeyer, 1981) and Social Dominance (Pratto, Sidanius, Stallworth, y Malle, 1994). The existing literature reveals different patterns of relationships between European and American samples. Our findings are in line with other European researchers: there was a strong correlation between authoritarianism and SDO. In the case of religious beliefs, only authoritarianism was associated with them, while both SDO and authoritarianism were related to political ideology. Nevertheless, we noted that both variables displayed greater correlations with political ideology when participants showed high vote stability. On the other hand, for participants who change their political option each time there are elections, we found a moderate correlation between RWA and political ideology, and a lack of relation between SDO and political orientation.
