Patterns and Personality Correlates of Implicit and Explicit Attitudes Toward Christians and Muslims (2005, background): “Some of the most frequently studied personality-level correlates of ethnocentrism and prejudice include religious orientations (intrinsic, extrinsic, quest; see Batson et al. 2001; Batson, Schoenrade, and Ventis 1993; Donahue 1985; Herek 1987), noncreedal religious fundamentalism and right-wing auth”
A mediational analysis of the role of right-wing authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism in the religiosity-prejudice link (2011, background): “This fits with previous research demonstrating RWA aggression has a stronger positive association with racial prejudice than RF (Laythe et al., 2002; Mavor et al., 2009).”
RESEARCH: Christian Orthodoxy, Religious Fundamentalism, and Right-Wing Authoritarianism as Predictors of Implicit Racial Prejudice (2004, methodology): “Religious fundamentalism has also been found to correlate positively with self-reported racial prejudice (Altemeyer & Hunsberger, 1992; Laythe et al., 2002; Wylie & Forest, 1992) and other discriminatory attitudes toward Blacks (Kirkpartrick, 1993).”
Prosocial Behavior and Religion: New Evidence Based on Projective Measures and Peer Ratings (2005, background): “Religious fundamentalism can be analyzed into two components: Christian Orthodoxy and RWA (Laythe et al. 2002).”
Religiosity and Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men: A Meta-Analysis (2009, background): “When RWA is controlled, the relationship between fundamentalism and prejudice against lesbians and gay men is generally reduced (e.g., Laythe et al., 2002), suggesting that that RWA mediates the fundamentalism–prejudice relationship.”
Religion's role in prosocial behavior: Myth or reality? (2006, background): “It could then be that, as authoritarians, the RFs are aggressive with targets labeled by the authorities as enemies, but as religious, they may not be aggressive with people in general (see also Laythe et al., 2002); they may even be prosocial, especially with close ones.”
Further Than the Eye Can See: Psychological Distance and Perception of Environmental Threats (2015, background): “Laythe et al. (2002) suggest that the use of student samples may confer some advantages, such as facilitating the use of large scales at reasonable levels of reliability and validity, which would be difficult and costly to administer to a large representative sample.”
Associations Between Religious Personality Dimensions and Implicit Homosexual Prejudice. (2006, background): “Whereas CO appears to be minimally correlated with self-reported homosexual prejudice when RF is statistically controlled (Kirkpatrick 1993; Laythe et al. 2002 ), we expect to find that CO will be minimally correlated with implicit homosexual prejudice (when RF, RWA, and desirable responding are al”
The Islamophobia Scale: Instrument Development and Initial Validation (2009, background): “Department of Labor, 2006) and the United States in general (Kosmin, Mayer, & Keysar, 2001), college students on average tend to be less religiously fundamental and prejudiced than the general population ( Laythe, Finkel, Bringle, & Kirkpatrick, 2002 ).”
Religious Fundamentalism and Limited Prosociality as a Function of the Target (2011, background): “Thus, some scholars tend to distinguish between an authoritarian structure and a religious content within RF, the two components supposedly exerting opposite influences on social behavior (Laythe, Finkel, and Kirkpatrick 2001; Laythe et al. 2002).”
