Sentimentos em relação à política à luz dos valores e do preconceito social

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyse the effects of values and social prejudice on political attitudes in a psicossociological perspective. The values are analysed in four levels: materialist values, post-materialist values religious values and hedonist values; the social prejudice are analysed through the social dominance orientation; the political attitudes are studied in two dimensions: trust in political institutions and support to politicians. The research has interviewed 205 undergraduate students in João Pessoa. The results show partial relationships among those variables and social equity, the value of religiosity and post materialist values in the prediction of political attitudes. © 2009 Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
