Weighted Mean Correlations of Social Dominance Orientation with Other Scales, Ordered from Largest Positive to Largest Negative.
| Scales | Number of studies (k) | Weighted M correlation (r+) | Homogeneity of rs: I2 (95% CI)a |
|---|---|---|---|
| Racism | 35 | .47 | 91.91 (89.75, 93.62) |
| Heterosexism | 15 | .43 | 79.44 (66.80, 87.26) |
| Sexism | 35 | .40 | 83.23 (77.53, 87.49) |
| Nationalism | 12 | .40 | 88.55 (81.90, 92.76) |
| Right-wing authoritarianism | 48 | .30 | 91.16 (89.13, 92.81) |
| Other beliefs in support of hierarchy (such as use of force or conservatism) | 63 | .32 | 86.58 (83.55, 89.06) |
| Support for progressive social policies | 19 | −.39 | 84.34 (76.80, 89.43) |
Note. Higher social dominance orientation scores imply greater support of hierarchy; mean rs are random-effects means; each correlation differs significantly from zero, ps < .001. I2 values vary between zero and 100, where lower values imply homogeneity.

When confidence intervals do not include zero, the hypothesis of homogeneity is rejected.
