 Social dominance orientation

Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) is a psychological construct that refers to an individual's preference for hierarchical relationships between social groups. It reflects the extent to which a person endorses beliefs that promote the superiority of certain groups over others. Individuals with high SDO tend to support social inequality and believe that some groups should dominate others, which can manifest in attitudes toward different social categories such as race, gender, and socio-economic status.
