Doubt about its indirect measureĪccording to data presented by Baljeet Ahmed Muhammad, a hypothesis was formed proposing that brighter people are capable of penetrating the significance of the F-scale, helping them react in a more “suitable” fashion. Research in the late 1960s focused on police and the detection of authoritarianism. Sex: Exaggerated concern with sexual "goings-on."į-scale tests measure not only the subject's overall level of stress but also their willingness to cooperate in the testing process.Projectivity: The disposition to believe that wild and dangerous things go on in the world the projection outwards of unconscious emotional impulses and.Destructiveness and Cynicism: Generalized hostility, vilification of the human."rejection of all inwardness, of the subjective, the imaginative, the tender-minded, and of self-criticism" Authoritarian aggression: punishing and condemning individuals who don’t adhere to conventional values.Authoritarian submission: a passive notion towards adhering to conventional norms and values.Conventionalism: conformity to the traditional societal norms and values of the middle class.The scale specifically examines the following personality dimensions: Research has not found any correlation between F-scale scores and educational level. Patients who suffer from repeated episodes of disorders usually get a higher F-scale score than those who have acute disorders. A score of above 80 on the F-scale test indicates that the subject may be suffering from severe psychopathology. The purpose of the F-scale is to measure an antidemocratic personality structure, usually defined by authoritarianism. The F-scale has two principal purposes: it aims to measure prejudice and anti-democratic tendencies at the personality level. The existence of this correlation could possibly affect the way in which the F-scale accurately measures the authoritarian personality syndrome. It is an indirect type of test that ensures the result would not be due to the individual's fake responses this is possible because the purpose of the measurement and which attitude is being measured are initially concealed from the participants. Scores acquired from the F-scale could be directly associated with background components, educational level, and intellectual capacity. The F-scale measures responses on several different components of authoritarianism, such as conventionalism, authoritarian aggression, anti-intraception, superstition and stereotypy, power and "toughness," destructiveness and cynicism, projectivity, and sex. Adorno and others to measure the " authoritarian personality".
The California F-scale is a 1947 personality test, designed by Theodor W.
