Resumen:
Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is one of two attitudinal constructs (along with social dominance orientation) that combine to account for a majority of group prejudice, which in turn is a major aspect of group identity politics (Pratto, Sidanius, Stallwarth and Malle,1994) RWA is defined as the convergence of three attitudinal clusters (submission, aggression and conventionalism) and is associated with a high degree of hostility toward outgroups (Altemeyer,2006). The scale has been widely used in different contexts, however, there seems no to be validated in the argentine context. This study presents a first approach to the validation of the RWA scale in argentinian context using SEM. Students 20-35 years,incidental, stratified with proportional allocation 402 subjects. SEM, among others. The result is a 8 item scale with adecuate psychometric properties supporting the underlying construct (AFC:all index between.913–.928; SRMR=.038; CRONBACH'S ALPHA=.826). Future research should increase sample sizes and scope in terms of representativeness.
