Abstract
Across four studies we show that higher SDO levels leads people to feel more good and less bad when negative things happened to targets, and more bad and less good when positive things happened. Participants higher in SDO also showed decreased empathy/increased counter-empathy towards outgroup targets compared to ingroup targets.
