Online version of the Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA), designed to measure authoritarian attitudes and personality tendencies. The scale was developed by Bob Altemeyer as a major revision and psychometrically improved alternative to the F-scale (T. Adorno et al., 1950), addressing several methodological limitations of earlier approaches. The RWA framework conceptualizes authoritarianism as a combination of submission to established authorities, adherence to conventional social norms, and support for punitive measures against perceived deviance.
