Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the role of social dominance orientation, right-wing authoritarianism and gender role beliefs in predicting the modern prejudice towards gay and lesbian population in the Republic of Croatia. The convenience sample was collected on-line and it comprised 1167 participants: 831 females and 336 males. As the measuring instrument we used Attitudes about equality of gender roles scale (Kamenov, Jelić i Jugović, 2010), Right-wing authoritarianism (Zackrisson, 2005), Social Dominance Orientation Scale - SDO5 (Pratto i sur., 1994) and Modern Racism Scale (McConahey,1986). The results show that social domination orientation, right-wing authoritarianism and gender role beliefs correlate significantly with modern prejudices towards homosexuals. All three predictors played important roles in predicting modern prejudices. Together they explain 26.5% of modern prejudice toward homosexuals. The right-wing authoritarianism is the single biggest predictor of modern prejudice towards homosexuals. Gender role beliefs at the same time partially mediate and moderate the relationship between social dominance orientation and modern prejudice towards homosexuals, as well as between right-wing authoritarianism and modern prejudice towards homosexuals.
