Abstract
This study builds upon previous research by investigating the role of social dominance orientation (SDO), right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), and the Big Five personality traits in shaping misogynistic attitudes within a mixed sample of people who experience unwanted celibacy and the general population. By analyzing political, social and personal characteristics within this mixed sample, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the predictors of misogynistic attitudes. The study collected self-report data from a convenience sample of 104 participants, indicating that higher levels of SDO and RWA are significantly associated with the endorsement of misogynistic attitudes. Additionally, certain traits within the Big Five personality framework, such as low agreeableness and low openness to experience, also show a positive correlation with misogynistic attitudes. These findings highlight the importance of considering multiple psychological factors in understanding and addressing the development of misogynistic beliefs. Future research should investigate the complex interplay between SDO, RWA, the Big Five, and other relevant variables to deepen our understanding and develop more targeted interventions to counteract misogynistic attitudes within the Incels community and society at large.
