- Trait EI is negatively related to right-wing ideological attitudes.
- Trait EI is negatively related to subtle racial prejudice.
- These relationships are mediated by perspective taking.
Although a lot of research attention has already been devoted to the personality and emotional basis of right-wing attitudes and racial prejudice, the relationships between trait Emotional Intelligence (EI) and the latter variables have been largely neglected. In the present study conducted in a heterogeneous sample of adults (NÂ =Â 419), we aim to fill this gap in the literature. It was revealed that trait EI is negatively related to Right-Wing Authoritarianism, Social Dominance Orientation, and subtle racial prejudice. These relationships can be partly explained by empathy, and more specifically the component of perspective taking. Trait EI is negatively related to the ability to take the perspective of others, which in turn is associated with increased right-wing attitudes and subtle racial prejudice.
