====Authoritarian Personality Theory (APT)==== *Posits authoritarianism is a personality syndrome that happens when children are mistreated and must be completely obedient to receive any affection from their parents *This environment made people dislike the weak, think of relationships as dominance and submission, and glorify the strong *Findings: **Those who were prejudiced against one ethnic minority tended to be prejudiced against others **Authoritarians tended to have conservative political-economic views and high levels of ethnocentrism * '''This theory has been criticized! 1) Measurement problem: people may show agreement bias and agree with whatever question you give them; 2) Only picks up conservative authoritarianism, not liberal authoritarianism''' * To correct for 2), the '''dogmatism''' scale was invented. With this scale, it still shows that people on the right have higher levels of authoritarianism than people on the left. *'''APT claims authoritarianism is a personality syndrome, but connections between childrearing practices and the actual syndrome are scarce. There is also no evidence that authoritarians are more psychologically encumbered than others.'''
