The research sample consists of 640 individuals aged between 19-25 and living in different regions of Turkey. Socio-demographic Information Form, Social Dominance Orientation Scale, Identity Attitudes Scale and Rokearch Values Inventory were applied to the participants within the scope of the research. The results of the study show that the social dominance orientations differ significantly between the gender identities. In addition, social dominance orientation differs significantly according to occupation field. There were positive or negative correlations between social dominance orientation and some of the purposive and instrumental values. In addition, social dominance orientation predicts gender identity, education, and income status assessment.
