RWA and LWA scores correlate positively across both student and parent samples

Evidence

RWA and LWA scores correlated . and . in the two samples, statistically significant (with the large N’s), and quite the sort of thing I had gotten used to finding. Among the students, Low RWAs again tended to be Low LWAs (the Unauthoritarians), rather than High LWAs (the Left-Wingers), 41- 22. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 2955

• XREF: A positive RWA-LWA correlation is a striking empirical finding counters to the expectation that left and right authoritarianism should oppose; relevant to the vault’s Cooper/Whitehead-Perry claims about authoritarianism as a right-wing phenomenon.
