Synopsis

How social structural components affect individual attitudes and behaviors is an ongoing theme in sociology. This analysis sought to explore the independent and relative effects of the social structural components of class, gender, and religion on the individual personality attributes of tolerance, trust, life satisfaction, and a sense of having free choice and control over life outcomes. It explored which structural element had the stronger effect on the individual psychological attributes, the similarities and differences in the effects, and it tested the intersections of structural components for interactive effects across six countries. Universal effects were not found. However, much variation in the effects of social structural components across the selected countries was found. This analysis indicates not only that there are significant differences between the social locations formed by the social structures, but that the effects from the independent variables vary dependent upon the social locations. This analysis encourages the use of intersectional methods and may be of interest to social psychologists and others working in the fields of race, class, or gender.
