Yeasaying and authoritarianism are completely independent personality traits

Evidence

It had occurred to several investigators that Yeasaying, since it seems to be a matter of accepting authoritative statements, might itself be a manifestation of authoritarianism. However, Couch and Keniston demonstrated with pure measures of Yeasaying and of authoritarianism (using a balanced scale) that the two personality characteristics are completely independent. — John T.
