TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Measuring right-wing authoritarianism and idealogy JO - National social science journal A1 - Benjamin, Arlin James SP - 5 EP - 7 VL - 44 IS - 1 N2 - The present study examines the relationship between right-wing authoritarianism and various facets of political ideology (economic issues, social issues, intolerance, and racial/ethnic resentment). Partial correlations revealed strong and significantly positive relationships between RWA and social conservatism, and intolerance, along with a weak but significant relationship between RWA and racial/ethnic resentment. The findings refute Ray's (1973) contention that RWA is merely another measure of conservatism. Rather, when conservatism is treated as a multidimensional construct, RWA is related to some dimensions, but not others (such as economic conservatism).
