Demographic differences Sample Clauses

Demographic differences. Not only personal traits, but also demographic characteristics can determine the chance at acquiescing at an individual level (Xxxxxxxx, Xxx X., Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx., 1996). The most cited demographic determinant is level of education. People who have a lower education, have a higher chance to acquiesce than people with a higher education (Xxxxxxx, X. X., & XxXxxxxxx, X. X., 2000; Xxxxxxxx, X. X., 1999; Xxxxxxxx, X. X., & Xxxxx, D. F., 1987; Xxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxxxx, X., 1996; Xxxxx-Xxxx, X., Xxxxxx, X., Xxxxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxx, M. S., 2010; Xxxxxx, X. X., & Xxxx, X. X., 1974; Xxxx Xx, X. X., 1978; Xxxxxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxxxxx, X., 2008; Xxxxxxxxxx, X. X., 1966). Xxxxx educated people will have limited cognitive abilities (XxXxxxxxx, X. X., 1991), less general knowledge and lower cognitive sophistication which explains their higher probability of answering independently of the content (Xxxxxxx, M. R., 1973). Another explanation mentioned in literature is that educated people tend to be more self-confident and assertive in general, and in their answering (Xxxxxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxxxxx, A., 2008). The amount of years an individual has studied, is also a factor. This heightens the personal trait ‘cognitive sophistication’. It makes a person more likely to desacquiesce to simplistically worded statements and less likely to acquiesce to hard statements (Xxxxxxxx, A., Xxxxxxxx, P. E., Xxxxxx, X. X., & Xxxxxx, X., 1966). Other psychological factors that are related to education, have the same influence. For example intelligence and rationality have a negative relation to ARS. Self-control and self-confidence have similar relation (Xxxxxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxxxxx, X., 2008). This demographic explanation has its boundaries though. Most of the literature uses a sample of college students and with their relatively high education, ARS is still present (Xxxxxxx, H., & Xxxxxxx, S., 1981). Being less educated correlates with having a lower socioeconomic status (Xxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxxxx, S., 1981) and correlates with ARS as well (Xxxxxxx, X., & Xxxxxxx, S., 1981; Xxxx, X. X., & Xxxxxxxx, X., 1984; Xxxxxxx, X. X., Xxxxxxx, D. E., & Xxxx, X. X., 1982; Xxxxxx, X. X., & Xxxxxxx, X. X., 1960; Xxxx, X. X., 1971). This is called the deference hypothesis and is at least valid under self-administered surveys (Xxxxxxx, H., & Xxxxxxx, S., 1981). When education is filtered out, the effect of social class is still significant. A study of Xxxxxx, X. X., & Xxxxxxx, X. X. (1960) revealed...
