The importance of personality for political tolerance and belief in silencing others (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studie tittar på hur personlighet och generellt politiskt ställningstagande samvarierar med politisk tolerans i en svensk kontext. Formerna av tolerans som undersöktes var generell politisk tolerans samt riktad politisk tolerans mot både höger och vänster i dess mer extrema form. Studien undersöker också samband mellan personlighet samt en vilja till att tysta andra. Studien baserades på en internetbaserad enkät med 273 respondenter i det slutgiltiga urvalet. Resultaten visade att personlighet hade en inverkan på hur vi agerar gentemot andra expressivt där nivåer på extraversion och neuroticism korrelerade med viljan att tysta andra och där extraversion även var en prediktor. Studiens resultat visar också på att personlighetsdraget öppenhet predicerade riktad politisk tolerans mot vänster samt att politiskt ställningstagande kunde predicera tolerans mot höger. För generell politisk tolerans var neuroticism från Big Five samt ärlighet från HEXACO signifikanta prediktorer. Detta skiljer sig delvis från tidigare forskning.

Abstract [en]

This study examines how personality and general political stance correlate with political tolerance in a Swedish context. The forms of tolerance investigated were general political tolerance as well as directed political tolerance towards both the right and left in its more extreme form. The study also examines the relationship between personality and a belief in silence others. The study was based on an internet-based survey with 273 respondents in the final sample. The results showed that personality had an impact on how we behave towards others expressively, where levels of extraversion and neuroticism correlated with the belief in silence others, and where extraversion was also a predictor. The study's results also show that the personality trait openness predicted directed political tolerance towards the left and that political stance could predict tolerance towards the right. For general political tolerance, neuroticism from the Big Five and honesty from HEXACO were significant predictors. This differs partly from previous research.
