Personality and Social Attitudes: Correlation of Basic Dimensions
Goran MILAS
Danijela ŽAKIĆ MILAS
Sažetak
In the work, the authors have used correlation analysis, based
on data gathered on a sample of 190 students, to test the
hypotheses emerging from two basic theoretical models of relations
between personality and social attitudes – the psychoanalytical
and socialisational. The psychoanalytical model presupposes
the existence of a protective mechanism facing an
uncertain and threatening reality, with attempts at making this
reality simpler, more specific and unambiguous. In accordance
with these suppositions such a mechanism of self-deception
and cognitive inaccessibility lies in the adoption of primarily
conservative attitudes. The absence of significant correlations of
conservative attitudes and emotional stability, intellect and self-
-deception leads to the rejection of such a model. On the contrary,
correlations between personality dimensions, psychoticism,
agreeableness and conscientiousness and social attitudes
connected to religiosity and sexual freedom are consistent with
the socialisational model according to which personality mostly
represents the framework, while attitudes signify the outcome of
the socialisational process. Models based on the analysis of covariance
structure indicate that the influence of personality on
attitudes could be observed through the action of two determinants,
a relatively permanent sensitivity to socialisational influences
and to situationally changeable adaptational socialisation.
