PROCENA DESNIČARSKE AUTORITARNOSTI: ADAPTACIJA RWA SKALE (DESNIČARSKE AUTORITARNOSTI) NA SRPSKI JEZIK
MEASURING RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANISM, THE SERBIAN ADAPTATION OF THE RIGHT WING AUTHORITARIANISM SCALE (RWA)

Summary/Abstract: Over the last 16 years we have seen the rise of right wing authoritarianism across the world giving us new urgency to further study the phenomenon. One of the key issues is measurement of the construct and in our study we attempt to adapt one of the most used scales to the Serbian language. In a large sample of the general population we have attempted to replicate the structure of the questionnaire, ultimately reaching our own solution to the structure problem. We have tested the adaptation against constructs that are deemed relevant such as conspiracy beliefs and disease avoidance to further validate the adaptation and received partial success. Further research on more diverse populations is needed to determine what exactly is the influence of the Serbian cultural background on the authoritarianism construct, its relationship with other constructs and its measurement, but for now we can say that we have reached a satisfactory adaptation of the scale that can be used in further research.
