Authoritarian Personalities in the Natural and Social Sciences.

Weller, Leonard

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v15 n3 p259-64 Dec 1979

Examines the dispositions of authoritarian personalities to social sciences and nonauthoritarians to the natural sciences. It was found that authoritarianism is not unitary within the social sciences. Findings suggest a person who expresses interest in one social science can consider a science rather than humanities as an alternative. (Author/BEF)
