When dilemmas require trade-offs between profits and ethics, do leaders high in social dominance orientation (SDO) and followers high in right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) make decisions that are more unethical than those made by others? This issue was explored in 4 studies with female participants performing managerial role-playing tasks. First, dyads comprising a person who was either low or high in SDO and a person who was either low or high in RWA negotiated for a leadership position. People high in SDO were more likely to obtain leader positions than to obtain follower positions. No other effects were significant. Second, leaders high in SDO partnered with an agreeable (confederate) follower made decisions that were more unethical than those of leaders low in SDO. Third, followers high in RWA were more acquiescent to and supportive of an unethical (confederate) leader than were followers low in RWA. Fourth, high SDO leader-high RWA follower dyads made decisions that were more unethical than those made in role-reversed dyads because leaders had more influence. Implications of these results for conceptualizing SDO, RWA, and authoritarian dynamics are discussed.
当困境需要在利润和道德之间进行权衡时，具有高社会支配取向（SDO）的领导者和具有高右翼权威主义（RWA）的追随者做出的决策是否比其他人更不道德？在4项研究中探讨了这个问题，研究中女性参与者执行管理角色扮演任务。首先，由SDO得分低或高的人与RWA得分低或高的人组成的二元组协商领导职位。SDO得分高的人比获得追随者职位更有可能获得领导职位。没有其他影响是显著的。其次，SDO得分高的领导者与一个随和的（同谋）追随者合作做出的决策比SDO得分低的领导者更不道德。第三，RWA得分高的追随者比RWA得分低的追随者更容易默许和支持不道德的（同谋）领导者。第四，高SDO领导者-高RWA追随者二元组做出的决策比角色颠倒的二元组更不道德，因为领导者有更大的影响力。讨论了这些结果对概念化SDO、RWA和威权动态的意义。
