Summary
Higher social dominance orientation (SDO) correlates with lower multicultural acceptance and increased prejudice in South Korea. Addressing SDO is vital for migrant integration and reducing societal conflict.
Area of Science:
- Social Psychology
- Sociology
- Intergroup Relations
Background:
- South Korea is experiencing increasing societal diversity.
- Understanding intergroup dynamics is crucial for social cohesion.
- Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) may influence attitudes towards multiculturalism.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the mediating role of stereotype modification in the SDO-multicultural acceptance relationship.
- To examine social cognition and intergroup relations in South Korea.
- To identify factors influencing multicultural acceptance and prejudice.
Main Methods:
- Online survey with 402 participants (ages 20-65).
- Statistical analyses using SPSS 26.0 (frequency, correlation, regression).
- Mediation analysis via Hayes' Model 4 with bootstrapping (10,000 iterations) and 95% CI.
Main Results:
- Higher SDO was associated with lower multicultural acceptance.
- Individuals with higher SDO exhibited more prejudice towards outgroups.
- Stereotype modification's mediating role requires further nuanced investigation.
Conclusions:
- SDO significantly impacts multicultural acceptance and prejudice in South Korea.
- High SDO poses challenges for migrant integration and can exacerbate social conflict.
- Interventions targeting SDO are essential for promoting positive intergroup attitudes and reducing discrimination.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017).

You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity.
