Abstract

This research measured the seriousness of “deviant” behaviors or statuses. Data, collected through a survey of criminal justice students, indicate that seriousness scores are significantly related to authoritarian personality traits. The association of right‐wing authoritarianism and perceived seriousness is especially apparent when scale items are categorized into subgroups of related behaviors.
