Abstract
Social attitude patterns in a sample of 356 Koreans were examined with the Wilson-Patterson Attitude Inventory. Principal components analysis revealed a general factor of conservtism much like that identified in a number of European cultures (although slightly diminished in importance) and the subfactor pattern was sufficiently similar to previous results to allow meaningful scoring according to the standard scales. Low occupational status was associated with conservative attitudes of four major kinds—militarism-punitiveness, antihedonism, ethnocentrism, and religiosity. Females were more religious than males but less ethnocentric. Results confirm the universality of social attitude patterns and their associations with demographic variables.Keywords
