Group-level authoritarian findings may not transfer to specific subgroups

Evidence

DO OTHER FINDINGS ABOUT HIGH RWAS NECESSARILY APPLY TO AUTHORITARIAN LEGISLATORS? When you look back at the earlier chapters in this book, and see all the disturbing things that have been associated with High RWAs, it cannot bring joy to the hearts of Republicans (and some Democrats too) that their politicians scored so high on this measure of prefascist personality. But it does not necessarily follow that research findings about authoritarians in general will apply to particular groups. Any particular group can have some feature in its background, or ideological outlook, that cancels a general attribute of High RWAs. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 3723
