The authoritarian personality

• Supporting evidence

  Elms and Milgram (1966)- found participants in Milgram's study who obeyed, scored more authoritarian on the F-scale.
• Cause and effect

  It is only a correlation between obedience and authoritarian personality.
• Validity

  A high score on the F-scale can be caused by ticking the same line of boxes. Meaning that it may not be very valid.
• Other explanations

  Like the legitimacy of authority and agentic shift.
