Resumo: | The aim of the current study was to evaluate the extent to which certain values, traits, cognitive styles, and cultural dimensions can a predict diversity attitudes of individuals. A sample of 104 respondents from a broad range of 39 nationalities represented answered a 5–10 minutes survey testing respondents’ views using the shorter TIPI (ten item personality index) of the Big Five personality traits dimension, SSVS (Short Schwartz’s Value Survey), Gelfand’s tightness/looseness dimension, cognitive conformity style & Hofstede’s masculinity dimension in addition to the attitudes to diversity scale focusing on two scales of prejudice against females and foreign ethnics. The study established strong links of findings clearly pointing to a distinct connection between harboring fewer negative attitudes to diversity and openness to experiences, benevolence, universalism, self-direction, and self-transcendence, whereas higher levels of conformity, conservation, power, and tradition in addition to the male gender all were found of harboring more negative attitudes to diversity. |

Uma amostra de 104 entrevistados de uma ampla gama de 39 nacionalidades representadas respondeu a uma pesquisa de 5 a 10 minutos testando as opiniões dos entrevistados usando o TIPI (índice de personalidade de dez itens) mais curto da dimensão dos Cinco Grandes traços de personalidade, SSVS (Pesquisa de Valor Curto de Schwartz), A dimensão de rigidez / frouxidão de Gelfand, o estilo de conformidade cognitiva e a dimensão de masculinidade de Hofstede, além da escala de atitudes em relação à diversidade com foco em duas escalas de preconceito contra mulheres e etnias estrangeiras. O estudo estabeleceu fortes ligações de resultados que apontam claramente para uma conexão distinta entre abrigar menos atitudes negativas em relação à diversidade e abertura para experiências, benevolência, universalismo, autodireção e autotranscendência, enquanto níveis mais elevados de conformidade, conservação, poder e tradição além do gênero masculino, todos nutriram atitudes mais negativas em relação à diversidade.Aggarwal, IshaniVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaHildingsson, Johan Karl Ingvar2022-06-20T16:25:34Z2021-10-212021-092021-10-21T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/37897TID:202962903enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:43:25Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/37897Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:30:52.760088Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
