Abstract

This research focused on the cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Social Dominance Orientation Scale with a gender approach, for the Paraguayan population. The purpose of this research was the cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Social Dominance Orientation Scale with a gender focus, for the Paraguayan population. The original instrument was developed in 1994 by Pratto, Sidanius, Stallwarth and Malle, with the aim of assessing the propensity to maintain hierarchical, non-egalitarian intergroup relations. The scale, in its final version, has 14 items, grouped in dimensions, one referring to male dominance, and the other related to opposition/contrast to gender equality.  The sample was applied to 360 people residing in Paraguay, between 17 and 60 years of age, with an average of 26. The results allow us to conclude that the adapted version of the SDO scale with a gender approach meets the technical conditions to be used in research to be carried out in Paraguay.
