PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL ATTITUDES: CORRELATION OF BASIC DIMENSIONS

Summary/Abstract: 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.
