- ABSTRACT The Authoritarian Personality by Adorno et al. (1950) can be considered as one of the cornerstones of political psychology. Recent research (Altemeyer, 1996) shows a renewed interest in the concept of authoritarianism. Among those investigating the issue, one aspect that has generated major controversy has been whether authoritarianism is only to assess in the right ideological extreme (Stone, 1980; Stone & Smith, 1993) or may also be detected among the supporters of left-wing ideologies (Eysenck, 1954, 1981; Ray, 1983). Traditional approaches have sought to develop measurement instruments that identify matches between the left and right authoritarianism (Eysenck, 1954; Rokeach, 1960; Tetlock, 1983; Sidanius, 1984). However, these attempts were not entirely satisfactory. In 1996, Altemeyer LWA constructed in order to evaluate the left-wing authoritarianism. After investigating more than 2,500 cases, could not identify a single case of left wing authoritarian. Because of this, he called LWA the Loch Ness monster of political psychology´. Recent studies (Van Hiel, Duriez & Kossowska, 2006) demonstrate that the LWA is valid for certain groups, which are ideologically autofit on the far left.
RESUMEN
La personalidad autoritaria de Adorno y cols. (1950) puede considerarse como una de las piedras angulares de la psicología política. Investigaciones recientes (Altemeyer, 1996) demuestran un
renovado interés por el concepto de autoritarismo. Entre quienes
investigan la temática, uno de los aspectos que ha generado mayores controversias ha sido si el autoritarismo es solo plausible de
evaluar en el extremo ideológico de derechas (Stone, 1980; Stone
& Smith, 1993) o si también puede detectarse entre los partidarios
de ideologías de extrema izquierda (Eysenck, 1954, 1981; Ray,
1983). Enfoques tradicionales han tratado de desarrollar instrumentos de medición que permitieran identificar coincidencias entre el autoritarismo de derechas e izquierdas (Eysenck, 1954;
Rokeach, 1960; Tetlock, 1983; Sidanius, 1984). Sin embargo, estos intentos no fueron enteramente satisfactorios. En 1996, Altemeyer construye la LWA con la finalidad de evaluar al autoritarismo de izquierdas. Luego de indagar en más de 2.500 casos, no
pudo identificar un solo sujeto autoritario del ala izquierda. Debido
a esto, llamó al LWA el ´monstruo del lago Ness de la psicología
política´. Estudios recientes (Van Hiel, Duriez & Kossowska,
2006) demuestran que la LWA es válida para determinados grupos, los cuáles se hallan autoposicionados ideológicamente en la
extrema izquierda.
