The notion of the Deaf community as a linguistic-cultural minority has been increasingly recognized and studied over the last two decades. However, significant differences of opinion and perspective within that population typically have been neglected in the literature. Social dominance orientation (SDO), a theoretical construct, typically focusing on intergroup perceptions and relations, is one aspect that has been left unexplored and might prove particularly enlightening. The present study investigated SDO among 119 deaf and 49 hearing young adults through a standardized SDO questionnaire. SDO was examined with regard to cultural identities (deaf, hearing, bicultural, and marginal), cochlear implant use, and language orientation (sign language or spoken language). The deaf participants were found to be more egalitarian than hearing individuals overall. Deaf individuals who held the strongest deaf identities, those who were sign language oriented, and not cochlear implant users, were the most egalitarian.
在过去二十年里，聋人社区作为一个语言文化少数群体的概念越来越受到认可和研究。然而，该群体内部观点和视角的显著差异在文献中通常被忽视。社会主导取向（SDO）是一种理论构想，通常关注群体间的认知和关系，这是一个尚未被探索但可能特别有启发性的方面。本研究通过一份标准化的SDO问卷，对119名聋人和49名听力正常的年轻人进行了社会主导取向调查。研究从文化身份（聋人、听力正常者、双语者和边缘群体）、人工耳蜗使用情况以及语言取向（手语或口语）方面对社会主导取向进行了考察。总体而言，发现聋人参与者比听力正常者更具平等主义倾向。具有最强烈聋人身份认同、以手语为语言取向且未使用人工耳蜗的聋人个体最为平等主义。
