Authoritarianism: Adolescents from East and West Germany and the United States Compared.

Rippl, Susanne; Boehnke, Klaus

New Directions for Child Development, n70 p57-70 Win 1995

Examined whether the former East Germany has produced authoritarian personalities and whether there is age and gender variation on authoritarianism regardless of culture. Subjects were 552 West German, 320 East German, and 619 American adolescents. Found that all three cultures have similar proclivities to exhibit an authoritarian character structure. (JW)
