| Summary: | This study tests and rejects the hypothesis that authoritarianism and ethnocentrism are positively correlated irrespective of religious denomination. Schoolboys from five private denominational schools and one state school ranging between 13 and 16 1/2 years of age were used as subjects. The denominations tested were Anglican, Catholic, Jew, Methodist and Presbyterian. The Catholics were found to be somewhat more authoritarian than the others but significantly less ethnocentric. An overall positive correlation between authoritarianism and ethnocentrism was obtained, and when broken down by denomination was maintained within all denominations except among the Catholics. Among the latter no significant relation between the two variables was established. The significance of the findings is tentatively discussed in relation to the theory of the Authoritarian Personality of the Berkeley, California, group. |
