Abstract

The authors tested the hypothesis that high scorers on the EPQ extraversion scale express more tolerant and humanitarian attitudes towards marginal social groups whereas the high scorers on psychoticism take a more repressive position. The data collected among 249 Polish subjects by means of Eysenck and Eysenck's ( Manual of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, 1975) EPQ questionnaire and the scale measuring attitudes towards different marginal groups confirmed the assumption. The results are discussed in reference to the role of personality of people responsible for social policy in terms of support or repression aimed at various marginal groups.
