| Summary: | In this paper, we explored the in-group and outer-group social distance
towards sex workers and its relations to authoritarianism, social dominance
orientation and self-respect. The sample consisted of 92 participants from
the general population and 45 female sex workers (age 18-50). The instruments
used were the Bogardus social distance scale, the Authoritarianism scale
UPA-S, the Social dominance orientation scale and the Rosenberg self-respect
scale. The results indicate a rather high social distance towards sex
workers, including the distance by the general population being higher than
the distance of the sex workers towards their own group. The correlation of
authoritarianism and social distance was significant, as was the correlation
between authoritarian aggressiveness and stoicism and social distance. The
relationship between social dominance orientation and self-respect and social
distance in our research has been statistically insignificant, however it
demonstrates the expected trends. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
