Unlike the conventional belief that our political stances are merely extensions of our personality traits, this study suggests that our views on hierarchy and social dominance have their own distinct genetic foundations. The findings have been published in the Journal of Personality. Right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation are two ...

The findings, published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, challenge common assumptions about the relationship between political ideologies and antisemitism. While several attitudes related to right-wing extremism were linked to antisemitism, a facet of left-wing authoritarianism emerged as the strongest predictor overall. Antisemitism has been a persistent issue throughout history, often associated wi...

The study was motivated by the underexplored rol...

Authoritarianism serves as a pathway between watching television and the level of support for Donald Trump, according to new research published in Public Opinion Quarterly. In other words, watching television can indirectly influence support for Trump by shaping or reinforcing authoritarian beliefs and attitudes in individuals. Many critics have accused Trump of displaying authoritarian tendencies, and research suggests that support for him during the primary campaign was primarily driven by authoritarianism. Polls and surveys have shown that authoritarianism, rather than factors like educatio...
