		The authoritarian syndrome may be closely related to some of the other dimensions, especially to status concern and conservatism, which were the dimensions of personality that followed authoritarianism in the degree of association with ethnic distance.
		Considering authoritarianism as an intervening variable and utilizing the statistical device of the three-way table, the findings can be elaborated by studying the effect that the interjection of authoritarianism has on the relationship of each of the other variables to ethnic distance.
		When authoritarianism was introduced as an intervening variable, the relationship between extrinsic belief and ethnic distance increased for those who were least prejudiced, but decreased for the medium and high prejudice categories, and authoritarianism increased the value of C when the three groups were combined (Table 5).

	Causes of Civil Violence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although the authoritarian personality theory began from an assumption that these characteristics were innate to the person in question (genetic), this explanation was later broadened to include the experiences of children during the process of child-rearing (Adorno, 1950).
		The authoritarian personality paradigm attempts to explain internal psychological dynamics that contribute to a decision to use violence as a means to satisfy desires.
		The authoritarian personality paradigm would suggest that these factors would produce a home life that would cause people to be aggressive on a daily basis as well as an environment ripe for the inculcation of prejudice.

	(IRAYLS) - Censorship - Section of Libraries for Children and Young Adults
		Personality theory and social psychology research suggest that when we encounter someone whose arguments for censorship are dogmatic and simplistic, we are probably dealing with an authoritarian personality who is reacting to something he/she fears.
		Authoritarian personalities are characterized by a strong desire to exert power, an equally strong need to submit to power (often the power of a social, political or religious group), resentment of weakness, fear of ambiguous situations, and an unusual fascination with sex.
		Authoritarian personalities are highly moralistic, exhibiting a "conventional" level of morality on Kohlberg's scale of moral development (minor rules and social respectability are placed above principles such as equality, freedom of expression, and human rights).

	Personality and emotional correlates of right-wing authoritarianism Social Behavior and Personality - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Authoritarianism, the tendency to be hierarchicaL conventional, and intolerant, has been implicated by research as an extreme feature of general right-wing ideology.
		The results demonstrate that the authoritarian syndrome is primarily characterized by law openness to experience, and that it is unrelated to self-reported measures of emotion.
		Because personality, temperament, and emotion are substantially intermingled, it seems worthwhile to study the role of both the personality and the affective variables associated with right-wing authoritarianism.

	Authoritarian Personality & Terrorism
		The authoritarian personality is particularly vulnerable to radicalization.
		This personality type is expressed by rigidity of views, a strong desire to be told what to do, an equally strong desire to tell lessor mortals what to do, and to see all things in a fl and white context.
		While they may treat their families in a kindly manner, authoritarians often act aggressively toward others, especially those considered to be lesser in some way, of a different faith or ethnicity, or a different species.

		Perhaps the authors of The Authoritarian Personality were on to something when they made questions about sexuality in general, and homosexuality in particular, so central to diagnosing authoritarianism.
		If one could find contemporary "authoritarians of the left" to match those on the right, the authors of The Authoritarian Personality could rightly be criticized for their exclusive focus on fascism.
		That could not be done, they concluded, by changing the personality structure of incipient authoritarians, since their beliefs were too ingrained to be altered and the techniques of psychology, in any case, were too weak to alter them.

	NEL, Neurobiological personality research and conflict behavior (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In their work, personality was defined as a more or less enduring organisation of forces within the individual helping to determine responses in various situations, which is responsible for consistency in behavior.
		Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik and coworkers were convinced that considering biological factors was not necessary to understand personality and to explain and predict behavior, and they found their conception of personality structure being the best safeguard against the inclination to attribute persistent trends in the individual to something "innate" or "basic" or "racial" within him.
		This, he stated, is remarkable, particularly when it is realized that personality is taken to refer to the distinctive patterns of behavior, including thoughts and emotions, that characterize adaptation to the variety of situations that an individual might encounter from day to day, and in which hormonal changes are especially marked [9, p.

	DOES AUTHORITARIANISM OF PERSONALITY GO WITH CONSERVATISM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It was concluded that authoritarianism of personality is equally likely to be found on either side of the political divide even if admiration of traditional authority is generally associated with conservatism only.
		This indicates again that authoritarian personality is not distributed in the way that use of the F scale would lead us to believe.
		Nonetheless, the validity of the Directiveness scale as a measure of authoritarian personality does seem to be superior to that of the F scale and conservatism was measured in three different ways in the present study - by vote, by a scale and by single-issue items.

	Authoritarian personality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of authoritarian personality denotes a number of qualities, which according to the theories of Theodor Adorno and his colleagues predict one's potential for fascist and antidemocratic leanings and behaviors.
		The instrument for assessing the underlying authoritarian personality structure was the so-called F-Scale ("implicit antidemocratic tendencies and fascist potential").
		He has refined the concept of the authoritarian personality into the Right-wing Authoritarian scale, though his conceptualization is in some ways more primitive than that of the Adorno group.

	Authoritarian personality Encyclopedia of Psychology - Find Articles
		While the original goal had been the identification of an "anti-Semitic" personality, the scope was widened, first from anti-Semitic to "Fascist" then to "authoritarian," when the study found that people prejudiced against one ethnic or racial group were likely to be prejudiced against others as well.
		A major determining factor in the formation of the authoritarian personality was found to be a pattern of strict and rigid parenting, in which obedience is instilled through physical punishment and harsh verbal discipline.
		When they reach adulthood, people with this personality structure discharge the hostility accumulated by their harsh upbringing against those whom they perceive to be of lower status by forming negative stereotypes of them and discriminating against or overtly persecuting them.

	The old-fashioned personality 1; John Ray on Adorno's authoritarian personality
		It is noted that the authoritarian personality theory of Adorno et al is now seldom referred to in race relations research and that the scale used to operationalize the theory (the F scale) is a very poor measure of what it purports to measure (Right-wing authoritarianism).
		It does not predict authoritarian behavior (Titus and Hollander, 1957; Titus, 1968; Altemeyer, 1981; Ray and Lovejoy, 1983) and it is a poor predictor of political Rightism.
		Aside from the Gabennesch work, however, no systematic investigation of alternatives to authoritarianism as an explanation of what the F scale measures appears to have been so far attempted in the literature (though I have mentioned in passing the proposal to be explored here on a number of previous occasions.

	personality: trait theories
		Trait theories of personality are based on the assumption that a person's personality can be captured in a series of binary oppositions.
		They seem to like to latch on to trait theories of personality as an explanation of, for example, why they didn't complete their work by the deadlines (laziness), why they had difficulty with an interviewee (shyness) and so on.
		As Argyle (1982) points out, if persons and situations are equally important and we take three mythical people with a varying degree of a tendency to arrive late in their personality, then we would expect to find something like this:

		And if an unauthoritarian person did that through of a long series of interpretations such as Bramwell suggests, the reliability and validity of the test would suffer, and if it is a major problem the test will not predict anything.
		I have conceptualized left-wing authoritarianism as submission to revolutionary authorities, aggression in their names, and adherence to the conventions of the revolutionary movement.
		Bramwell’s final criticism is that my research “never comes close to demonstrating that ‘authoritarian’ attitudes, as measured by (my) survey, actually predict authoritarian behavior--or any other kind of behavior, for that matter, whether good or bad.” I have to agree with him to a point.

		By and large, this approach has aimed at understanding prejudice, which is one aspect of intergroup relations, in terms of the authoritarian personality, one segment of the area of personality psychology.
		If the claims of the proponents of authoritarian personality went only so far, their findings could be more easily fitted into the over-all scheme of social psychology.
		The over-all emphasis on personality factors of a particular type to the exclusion of other important factors is attested by such remarks as "...personality is essentially an organization of needs," which excludes cognitive factors, and "...both ideology and.

	Dr. Helen: The Inverse Authoritarian Personality
		The inverse (my italics) authoritarian unleashes his anger directly against the powers that be while taking the side of the world's 'victims' and 'outcasts.'" The authors ask an important question about the inverse authoritarian: "Was it not possible that the 'liberated generation' was bound to potentially dangerous unconscious personality dynamics no less than its forebears?"
		I am certainly simplifying their work for the sake of space, but they found through testing that the inverse authoritarian rejects social authority out of hand and aligns himself with militant opponents of the established order.
		Such a person has less regard for his own nation, or in the most selfish sense his own well being, than he does in his emotional investement in hatred.

		Accordingly, the personality that has emerged is a unified and multidimensional whole, where all the pieces have been fitted together in regard to this whole and in the context of this extended research program.
		The point to this is that a question about the existence of, say, an authoritarian personality is not fully answered by surveying multivariate research findings, for it might be that the authoritarian personality is only a different perspective consistent with this data and mathematical model.
		While this is possible, however, it is unlikely that, given the mutually articulated and comprehensive nature of the multivariate personality research, a favored personality scale or dimension should exist in its pure form as an alternative perspective without leaving a projection on these results.
