Metric properties of the Salvadorian Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA)

The aim of this work is to expose the metrical properties of the Salvadorian Right Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA), developed by Orellana (2017). Based on a sample of 421 inhabitants, 15 years of age and older (M = 39.2; DE = 17.2) from the San Salvador Metropolitan Area (SSMA), the scale is the p...

Based on a sample of 421 inhabitants, 15 years of age and older (M = 39.2; DE = 17.2) from the San Salvador Metropolitan Area (SSMA), the scale is the product of a process of selection of questions already adapted or included in public opinion surveys or political culture polls. According to the Cronbach ´s Alpha coefficient, the scale presents a satisfactory total internal consistence (? = .83). A confirmatory factorial analysis evidences an adequately fitting model, that reproduces the recognized three-dimensional factorial structure of Altemeyer´s RWA (1996; construct validity). The scale correlates with certain constructs (e.g., dimensions of political culture, citizen insecurity and psychosocial dispositions as prejudice) in theoretical and empirical concordance with the former studies on authoritarianism (concurrent-criterion validity). Its characteristics and future ways of application are discussed. El objetivo de este trabajo es exponer las propiedades métricas de la Escala Salvadoreña de Autoritarismo de Derechas (RWA), desarrollada por Orellana (2017). Se contó con una muestra de 421 habitantes del Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (AMSS) mayores de 15 años (M = 39.2; DE = 17.2). La escala es el producto de un proceso de depuración de preguntas adaptadas o incluidas en encuestas de opinión y de cultura política. De acuerdo con el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, la escala presenta una consistencia interna total satisfactoria (α = .83). Un análisis factorial confirmatorio evidencia un modelo con un ajuste adecuado que reproduce la reconocida estructura factorial tridimensional del RWA de Altemeyer (1996; validez de constructo). La escala está correlacionada con constructos determinados (p. ej., dimensiones de cultura política, inseguridad ciudadana y disposiciones psicosociales como prejuicio) en concordancia teórica y empírica con la tradición de estudios sobre autoritarismo (validez de criterio-concurrente). Se discuten sus características y futuras vías de aplicación.
