Citations in the corpus

• Interpersonal Attachment and Patterns of Ideological Belief (2007, background): “Some scholars have suggested that RWA and SDO are ideological in nature, rooted in different motivational processes and socialization histories (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Duckitt, Wagner, du Plessis, & Birum, 2002).”
• The psychological bases of ideology and prejudice: testing a dual process model. (2002, methodology): “A more recent experimental investigation also used future scenarios to manipulate social threat and found that this produced significant increases in RWA that were entirely mediated through elevated dangerous world beliefs (Duckitt & Fisher, 2001).”
• Mechanisms of Political Radicalization: Pathways Toward Terrorism (2008, result): “In small face-to-face groups, outgroup threat leads reliably to increased group cohesion, increased respect for ingroup leaders, increased sanctions for ingroup deviates, and idealization of ingroup norms.(59) In larger groups, reference to cohesion is often replaced with reference to ingroup identi”
• Construction of a short version of the right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) scale. (2005, methodology): “Often short versions of the scale have been preferred, with items sometimes selected according to a conceptual rationale (Feldman, 2003; Whitley, 1999), through psychometric investigation (Farre & Duckitt, 1994; Heaven & Connors, 2001), or by random sampling of items (Duckitt, 2000; Duckitt & Fishe”
• Mapping the Connections between Politics and Morality: The Multiple Sociopolitical Orientations Involved in Moral Intuition (2013, background): “…draw on one of the most important forms of this approach in contemporary psychology, namely, the dual-process model developed by Duckitt and his colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Duckitt & Sibley, 2009; Duckitt, Wagner, du Plessis, & Birum, 2002; Sibley, Wilson, & Duckitt, 2007).”
• The intervening role of social worldviews in the relationship between the five‐factor model of personality and social attitudes (2007, background): “The origin of individuals’ social worldviews can be at least partly tracked down to individual differences that predispose people to interpret, structure and react to the world in different ways (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Duckitt et al., 2002).”
• Socio–Psychological Barriers to Peace Making: The Case of the Israeli Jewish Society (2010, background): “In addition, research suggests that experiences of threat and fear increase conservatism, prejudice, ethnocentrism, and intolerance (Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Feldman & Stenner, 1997; Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003).”
• Big-Five personality prospectively predicts Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism (2012, background): “Research examining the antecedents of ideology indicates that heightened exposure to societal threat increases RWA (Duckitt & Fisher, 2003) whereas heightened exposure to social competition and resource scarcity increases SDO (Guimond, Dambrun, Michinov, & Duarte, 2003; Sibley et al., 2007b).”
• On the Correlation Between Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation (2005, unknown): “As often occurs (cf. Altemeyer, 1996; Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Krauss, 2002; Tarr & Lorr, 1991), the factor analysis yielded two factors.”
• The Authoritarian Dynamic During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Effects on Nationalism and Anti-Immigrant Sentiment (2020, background): “…behind these dimensions are chronically salient, external conditions can heighten their activation, and both RWA and SDO appear to be reactive to external circumstances (Duckitt, 2001, 2006, 2009; Duckitt et al., 2010; Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Duckitt & Sibley, 2009, 2010; Feldman & Stenner, 1997).”
• The person-based nature of prejudice: Individual difference predictors of intergroup negativity (2015, background): “Experimental evidence demonstrates that inducing social threat increases RWA through increased dangerous worldview, but exerts less influence on SDO (e.g., Duckitt & Fisher, 2003).”
