Citations in the corpus

• Threat, Authoritarianism, and Selective Exposure to Information (2005, methodology): “If, as the findings of Greenberg et al. (1990) and Lavine et al. (2002) suggest, high authoritarians are more sensitive to and provoked by such existential crises than low authoritarians, inducing mortality threat should activate the defensive propensities of authoritarians.”
• Threat, Anxiety, and Support of Antiterrorism Policies (2005, background): “…higher levels of perceived threat but only slightly higher levels of anxiety, consistent with evidence that authoritarianism is linked to greater sensitivity to threat (Lavine et al. 2002).5 Finally, there was a slight decline in perceived threat and anxiety over time, but the effect is nonlinear.”
• The Authoritarian Dynamic During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Effects on Nationalism and Anti-Immigrant Sentiment (2020, background): “However, other scholars argue that we should also consider how threats to one’s very existence (e.g., the 9/11 terrorist attacks) interact with authoritarianism (Cohrs et al., 2005; Kossowska et al., 2011; Lavine et al., 2002, 2005; cf. Hetherington & Suhay, 2011).”
• The Automaticity of Affect for Political Leaders, Groups, and Issues: An Experimental Test of the Hot Cognition Hypothesis (2005, background): “…higher levels of perceived threat but only slightly higher levels of anxiety, consistent with evidence that authoritarianism is linked to greater sensitivity to threat (Lavine et al. 2002).5 Finally, there was a slight decline in perceived threat and anxiety over time, but the effect is nonlinear.”
• Attitudes Toward Immigration: The Role of Personal Predispositions (2016, unknown): “See also Lavine et al. (2002).”
• Authoritarianism, Threat, and Prejudice: An Analysis of Mediation and Moderation (2009, background): “In general, these moderation effects support current theorizing that threat ‘‘activates’’ authoritarian dispositions (Cohrs & Asbrock, in press; Duckitt, 2001; Feldman, 2003; Feldman & Stenner, 1997; Lavine et al., 2002; Stellmacher & Petzel, 2005; Stenner, 2005).”
