Authoritarianism tracks education and religiosity while social dominance does not.

Evidence

Some small demographic relationships appeared. As usual, men racked up higher SDO scores than women did (r=.22), but no such difference appeared with the RWA scale (.00). The age of the parents proved unrelated to either variable. But (for the upteenth time) RWA scores came in significantly higher among the less educated (−.25) and poorer (−.21) parents. SDO had no relationship with education or income. Finally, high RWAs (for the zillionth time) went to church more than most (.35); high SDOs did not (−.13). — John T.
