The role of values in the relationship between everyday stressors and the discriminatory orientation of the individual

Context and relevance. Value orientations of the individual and everyday stressors can serve as an important basis/regulator of discriminatory behavior towards representatives of out-groups. Moreover, they can both promote and hinder the implementation of discrimination. However, the role of values in the relationship between stressors and components of the discriminatory attitude is unclear. Objective. The purpose of the study is to establish the role of values in the relationship between everyday stressors and the discriminatory orientation of the individual. Hypothesis. Different values play a different role in determining a discriminatory attitude and its components, mediating a direct link between stressors and components of a discriminatory attitude. Methods and materials. The study involved 700 people, including 322 men (46%), 376 women (53,7%), the gender of 2 study participants remained undetermined (0,3%), aged 18—50 years, average age: M = 22.43, SD = 8.23. To assess the components of the discriminatory attitude (cognitive, emotional and behavioral), a previously developed technique was used (Shamionov, Abutalipova, 2024), the severity of everyday stressors was determined using the “Questionnaire of Everyday Stressors” technique (M.D. Petrash, O.Yu. Strizhitskaya, L.A. Golovey, S.S. Savenysheva), the severity of values was established using the Portrait Questionnaire of Values by S. Schwartz. Results. As a result of regression analysis, the hypothesis about positive (values of power) and negative (values of universalism and benevolence) predictors of the components of the discriminatory attitude was confirmed. Moderation analysis allowed us to establish a positive role of the value “power-dominance” in the directed connection of the stressor “relationship” and the emotional and behavioral components of the discriminatory attitude. Conclusions. The study established the mediating role of the values of benevolence and universalism in the directed connection of everyday stressors in the field of finance and planning and the emotional and behavioral components of the discriminatory attitude. At the same time, a conclusion was made about the ambiguous role of values in mediation.
