Right-wing authoritarianism predicts racial prejudice but religious fundamentalism does not once controls are applied.

Evidence

When RWA and CO were simultaneously controlled using multiple regression analyses, RF was unrelated to self-reported racial prejudice; however, RWA remained positively related to self-reported racial prejudice and CO was negatively related to self-reported racial prejudice (Laythe et al., 2002). — Wade C. Rowatt and Lewis M. Franklin, Christian Orthodoxy, Religious…, 24

Categorization

• XREF: Deeply relevant to the reader’s research on whether professed religious conviction tracks actual measured bias — here RF, uniquely among religiosity measures, drops out entirely once confounds are controlled. — connects to: Religious fundamentalism predicts prejudice only through rightwing authoritarianism — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2134; Right-wing authoritarianism, not fundamentalism itself, drives the prejudice correlations.; Orthodox Christian belief predicts less implicit prejudice once authoritarianism is controlled — Wade C. Rowatt and Lewis M. Franklin, Christian Orthodoxy, Religious…, 82 (+6 more)
• QUESTION: Given RF is confounded with RWA and CO and flips to unrelated under multiple regression — does this instability itself predict divergence between self-report and implicit measures?
