    Abstract
    English: Entering first-year students at a higher education institution were used to measure levels of social dominance orientation (SDO). The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in SDO for various demographic groups. Statistical significance was found for race and gender’s influence on SDO, but residence had no statistical significant influence on levels of SDO. In this study significant differences for the main effects of race and gender, as well as the interaction between race and gender in terms of SDO were found. According to the results found in this study, Whites are still the perceived higher social status group compared to the other racial groups.
     
    Afrikaans: Intredende eerstejaar studente by ‘n hoër onderwys instelling was gebruik om vlakke van sosiale dominansie oriëntasie (SDO) te meet. Die doel van dié studie was om verskille in SDO-vlakke te ondersoek vir verskeie demografiese groepe. Statistiese beduidenheid is gevind vir invloede van ras en geslag op SDO, maar residensie het geen statistiese beduidende invloed op vlakke van SDO gehad nie. In dié studie is beduidende verskille vir die hoof-effekte van ras en geslag, sowel as die interaksie tussen ras en geslag, in terme van SDO gevind. Volgens die resultate van dié studie is Blankes steeds die perseptuele hoër sosiale status groep in vergelyking met die ander rassegroepe.
