Authoritarians’ double standards stem from uncritical copying of authorities

Evidence

I attribute high RWAs’ frequent use of double standards to the way they acquired many of their ideas: by copying authorities. Being dogmatically certain of their beliefs (Altemeyer, 1996, Chapter 8), they do not spend much time checking them for internal consistency. But high SDOs showed almost no double standards, strengthening the perception that right-wing authoritarians and social dominators usually differ in many ways. — John T.
