Low authoritarians show double standards favoring liberal figures and causes

Evidence

In fact, the Low RWAs showed a significant double standard in that study, punishing the anti-gay leader more than the pro-gay one. This same sample also showed another Low RWA double standard. They believed the testimony of a liberal U.S. senator implicated in the Charles Keating Savings and Loan scandal more than that of a conservative U.S. senator, when the facts were identical in each case. These are the only instances in which I have found Low RWAs showing a significant double standard, relative to Highs. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 3905
