Summary/Abstract: This comparative review of the Yugoslav research on authoritarianism, in spite of some serious methodological limitations, reveals a high degree of authoritarianism in the population. It is the cognitive type of authoritarianism which is formed through the process of socialization. The pronounced presence of authoritarianism in the psychological structure of the population is positively correlated with ethnocentrism and is a constitutive element of the egalitarian-statist orientation. It is negatively correlated with the self-management orientation and with the tolerance for other ideological values and orientations.
