Conservatism is linked to ego-defensive behaviors and mature defense styles, according to dynamic theory. This study found conservatism and anal traits align with mature defense styles in university students.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Personality Psychology

Background:

  • The dynamic theory of conservatism posits conservatism as an ego-defensive behavior.
  • Defense style theory links defensive behaviors to individual attitude structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between conservatism and defense style.
  • To determine if conservatism aligns with established psychological defense mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 238 university students (103 men, 134 women).
  • Measures included conservatism, anal personality traits, and defense style.
  • Principal components analysis with oblimin rotation was employed.

Main Results:

  • Conservatism and anal personality traits were found to load alongside mature defense style.
  • The findings support the integration of conservatism within the theoretical framework of defense styles.

Conclusions:

  • Conservatism can be understood within the theoretical model of defense style.
  • Future research should explore the association between liberal attitudes and mature defense styles.
