| Title: SELF-ESTEEM, LOCUS OF CONTROL AND PERSONALITY TRAITS AS PREDICTORS OF SENSITIVITY TO INJUSTICE | ||
| Author: Peter ŽITNÝ, Peter HALAMA | ||
| Abstract: The study analyzes the problem whether locus of control and self-esteem can explain the unique variance in predicting sensitivity to injustice not explained by personality traits and whether personality traits interact with self-esteem and locus of control when predicting sensitivity to injustice. The research was conducted on the Slovak sample of 254 undergraduate students (71 males, 183 females) - mean age 21.3 (range 17-27). Sensitivity to injustice was measured by the Sensitivity to Injustice Questionnaire. To measure self-esteem Rosenberg´s Self-Esteem Scale was used and personality traits were measured by the NEO-FFI. Rotter´s Internality-Externality Scale was used to measure the locus of control. The correlation analysis showed that personality traits, locus of control and self-esteem correlate with sensitivity to injustice. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the personality traits explain 30% of cognitive level of sensitivity to injustice variance. Adding locus of control and self-esteem to the predictors increased the variance explained by the model by 4%. The Big five traits explained 10% of the emotional level of sensitivity to injustice variance, locus of control and self-esteem explained additional 5%. Moreover, interaction analysis shows that internal locus of control acts as a buffer against the increase of unjust events perceived by a person with high neuroticism and antagonism. |
