Resumen

La escala «directiveness» de Ray (1976) es uno de los instrumentos diseñados para la medición del autoritarismo. En este trabajo se estudia la relación de esta medida con el dogmatismo, orientación política, edad y sexo, variables de interés en el campo de las actitudes socio-políticas, los resultados obtenidos nos permiten concluir que la escala «directiveness» no es ütil para el fin pretendido. También se subraya la necesidad de proceder a un debate teórico más riguroso en torno al autoritarismo político.

Abstract

The «directiveness» scale of Ray (1976) is one of the methods designed to measure authoritarianism. In this paper the relationship of the method to dogmatism, political orientation, age and sex, and variables of interest in the field of socio-political attitudes is studied. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the «directiveness« scale is inadequate for these purposes. Also, it needs to be emphasized that the need for a more stringent theoretical debate concerning political authoritarianism is necessary.
