Authoritarianism, Threat, and Prejudice: An Analysis of Mediation and Moderation (2009, methodology): “RWA was assessed with the 12-item scale by Funke ( 2005 ; based on Altemeyer, 1988 ), which is balanced for direction of wording and for the three facets: authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggressiveness, and conventionalism.”
The Aggression-Submission-Conventionalism Scale: Testing a New Three Factor Measure of Authoritarianism (2016, unknown): “Funke (2005) and Van Hiel et al. (2007) both point out that measuring a multidimensional construct with a unidimensional scale is psychometrically problematic.”
Dangerous and competitive worldviews: A meta-analysis of their associations with Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism (2013, result): “The moderating effect of RWA scale-length is consistent with a growing body of evidence that suggests RWA comprises three underlying dimensions (Duckitt, Bizumic, Krauss, & Heled, 2010; Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Funke, 2005; Mavor, Louis, & Sibley, 2010; Smith & Winter, 2002; Stellmacher & Petzel, 200”
Speaking (Un–)Truth to Power: Conspiracy Mentality as A Generalised Political Attitude (2014, methodology): “We used the German version of the Conspiracy Mentality Scale (see the Appendix), the German version of the same RWA measure (Funke, 2005) and the German adaptation (von Collani, 2002) of the original 16-item SDO scale (Pratto et al., 1994).”
“I Know Things They Don’t Know!”: The Role of Need for Uniqueness in Belief in Conspiracy Theories (2017, background): “Therefore, because right-wing authoritarianism has two other important dimensions, namely authoritarian aggression and authoritarian submission (Funke, 2005; Passini, 2008), it could be that one or both of these dimensions, and not adherence to social conventions, are responsible for the…”
GROUPS AND MORALITY (2014, background): “Conventionalism and submissiveness both involve the individual’s subordination to the moral authority in their society and the attendant investment in, and observance of, its moral standards (for general discussions, see Funke, 2005; Mavor, Louis, & Sibley, 2010).”
Investigating Right Wing Authoritarianism With a Very Short Authoritarianism Scale (2018, unknown): “Although several three-dimensional RWA scales have been developed (see, e.g., Funke, 2005; Mavor, Wilson, Sibley, & Louis, 2012), the best researched of these to date has been the Authoritarianism (or Authoritarian Aggression), Conservatism (or Authoritarian Submission), Traditionalism (or…”
Direct contact and authoritarianism as moderators between extended contact and reduced prejudice (2011, methodology): “Authoritarianism We administered the 12-item RWA3D scale (Funke, 2005; see Van Hiel, Cornelis, Roets, & De Clercq, 2007) to assess the participants’ levels of authoritarianism (Cronbach’s α = .”
Interpersonal Attachment and Patterns of Ideological Belief (2007, background): “RWA is defined by a constellation of three social attitudes: conventionalism, submission to authority, and aggression against outgroups, which covary to form a highly unitary attitudinal dimension (Altemeyer, 1996, 1998; cf. Funke, 2005).”
Believing, Bonding, Behaving, and Belonging: The Cognitive, Emotional, Moral, and Social Dimensions of Religiousness across Cultures (2020, methodology): “We also administered 12 items from the Right-Wing Authoritarianism scale (Funke, 2005) (αs ranged from .52 to .73 across countries).”
An Expansion of the Trait-State-Occasion Model: Accounting for Shared Method Variance (2008, methodology): “…has been used in studies of such diverse topics as psychological climate and job satisfaction (Baltes, Bauer, Bajdo, & Parker, 2002), relations between perceived competence and depression (Cole, Martin, Powers, & Truglio, 1996), and the dimensionality of right-wing authoritarianism (Funke, 2005).”
A Tripartite Approach to Right‐Wing Authoritarianism: The Authoritarianism‐Conservatism‐Traditionalism Model (2010, methodology): “However, it has also been questioned, with the questions being raised on methodological and empirical grounds (Duckitt & Fisher, 2003; Funke, 2005; Van Hiel et al., 2004).”
