Abstract

Postoji li povezanost između ličnosti i ideološke/političke orijentacije već je dugi niz godina stvar rasprave. Politika igra važnu ulogu u našim životima, a neki istraživači smatraju da upravo ličnost može predvidjeti našu ideološku orijentaciju te time i za koga će pojedinci glasati na političkim izborima. Još jedan od prediktora koji se dovodi u vezu s ideološkom orijentacijom je i naš kognitivni stil, koji može biti intuitivan ili refleksivan. Prethodna istraživanja na ovu tematiku pokazuju nekonzistentne rezultate te smo htjeli bolje istražiti navedeno područje. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati ulogu osobina ličnosti HEXACO modela te kognitivnog stila refleksivnost-intuitivnost u predviđanju ideološke orijentacije. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 402 studenta, od čega 251 žena i 151 muškarac, a prosječna dob bila je 22 godine. Osobine ličnosti su ispitane HEXACO-PI-R upitnikom, kognitivni stil proširenom verzijom testa kognitivne refleksivnosti, a ideološka orijentacija globalnom mjerom samoprocjene. Rezultati hijerarhijske regresijske analize pokazali su da ukupno možemo objasniti 7% varijance kriterija, od čega na temelju osobina ličnosti možemo objasniti 6% varijance ideološke orijentacije. Značajni prediktori bili su ekstraverzija i otvorenost ka iskustvu. Sukladno tome, rezultati su pokazali da su osobe koje postižu više rezultate na ekstraverziji te niže rezultate na otvorenosti ka iskustvu više desno orijentirane. Rezultati istraživanja nisu potvrdili našu hipotezu da postoji povezanost između kognitivnog stila i ideološke orijentacije. Sukladno tome, kognitivni stil samostalno ne pridonosi značajno predikciji ideološke orijentacije

Abstract (english)

Examination of how personality relates to ideological/political orientation has been a matter of discussion for many years. Politics plays an important role in our everyday life and some researchers consider that personality can predict our ideological orientation and also for whom individuals will vote on the elections. Another predictor that is implicated in ideological orientation is our cognitive style which can be intuitive or reflective. Previous research shows inconsistent results so we wanted to futher investigate this issue. The main goal of this study was to examine the role of personality traits of the HEXACO model and cognitive style measured with CRT in the prediction of ideological orientation. The sample consisted of 402 students, of which 251 were women and 151 men. The mean age was 22 years. HEXACO-PI-R questionnaire was used to assess personality traits and an extended version of CRT to assess cognitive style. Ideological orientation was examined with one item self-report measure. Results of the hierarchical regression model show that 7% of the total ideological orientation variance was explained, with personal traits alone explain 6% of the variance. The significant predictors were extraversion and openness to experience, with individuals who were more extroverted but less open to experience being more right-oriented. Results did not confirm our hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between cognitive style and ideological orientation. Subsequenttly, cognitive style did not independently contribute to the prediction of ideological orientation.
