Glorification overlaps with but is not reducible to RWA or SDO.

Evidence

Having tested SDO, which is similar to the superiority aspect of glorification, in Study 2, we now wanted to test that aspect of right-wing authoritarianism (RWA; Altemeyer, 1981, 1998) that is most similar to the loyalty and obedience aspect of glorification: authoritarian submission (AS). … We believe, however, that glorification goes beyond RWA, for RWA does not include the perceived superiority of one’s ingroup over other groups, a key feature of glorification. — Bernhard Leidner et al., Ingroup Glorification, Moral…, 93

Categorization

• DEFINE: Distinguishes glorification’s two components — superiority and loyalty/obedience — and maps them onto SDO and RWA respectively.
• XREF: Echoes the broader literature distinguishing nationalism from patriotism and identifying ingroup superiority as the key driver of intergroup harm. — connects to: SDO overlaps with glorification’s superiority facet but lacks its loyalty component — Bernhard Leidner et al., Ingroup Glorification, Moral…, 59; Glorification may be reducible through political rhetoric without harming core group attachment. — Bernhard Leidner et al., Ingroup Glorification, Moral…, 115; RWA covariation may be culturally restricted rather than universal — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 248 (+4 more)
