Adorno, Else Frenkel-Brunswik, Daniel J. Levinson and R. Nevitt Sanford \u0026ndash; published the third part of a five-part series, \u003cem\u003eStudies in Prejudice\u003c/em\u003e, compiled by Max Horkheimer and sponsored by the American Jewish Committee. They sought an answer to the question of how the destructive ideologies responsible for the atrocities of the Second World War had managed to attract such a huge mass of followers. The result is a detailed and academic publication of nearly 1000 pages\u0026nbsp;combining text and research results (graphs and tables). The study is based on both quantitative and qualitative studies, with structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The study became famous for its F-scale or Fascist Scale, that ranks people according to the intensity of certain characteristics that take root in their childhood experiences. These include conventionalism, authoritarian submission and aggression, superstition, stereotyped thinking, cynicism and sexual frustration. As a first attempt to analyse the authoritarian personality (hitherto mainly approached from a philosophical perspective) in a more scientific way, by collecting material and applying innovative research techniques, the importance of this book can hardly be overstated.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;The idea that groups are homogeneous units which more or less totally determine the nature of their numbers.

Ze zochten een antwoord op de vraag hoe de destructieve ideologie\u0026euml;n, verantwoordelijk voor de wreedheden van WOII, erin waren geslaagd zo\u0026rsquo;n enorme massa volgelingen aan te trekken. Het resultaat is een gedetailleerde en academische publicatie van bijna 1000 pagina\u0026rsquo;s, een combinatie van tekst en onderzoeksresultaten (in de vorm van grafieken en tabellen). De studie baseert zich op zowel kwantitatieve als kwalitatieve onderzoeken, met gestructureerde vragenlijsten en diepte-interviews. De studie staat bekend voor de F-schaal (waarbij de F staat voor fascist) waarop mensen kunnen gerangschikt worden volgens de intensiteit van bepaalde kenmerken \u0026ndash; waaronder conventionalisme, autoritaire onderwerping en - agressie, bijgeloof, stereotiep denken, cynisme en seksuele frustratie. Als eerste poging om de autoritaire persoonlijkheid, die tot dan vooral op een filosofische manier werd benaderd, op een meer wetenschappelijke manier te analyseren door materiaal te verzamelen en vernieuwende onderzoekstechnieken toe te passen, is het belang van dit boek moeilijk te overschatten.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"margin-left:40px\"\u003e\u0026quot;Het idee is dat groepen homogene eenheden zijn die zowat de hele aard van hun leden bepalen. Dit legt de verantwoordelijkheid voor spanningen met mensen van buiten de groep volledig bij de externen, als onafhankelijke entiteiten. De enige vraag die gesteld wordt is hoe de externen kunnen veranderen om zichzelf aanvaardbaar te maken voor de groep; er is geen sprake van dat de groep zelf zijn gedrag en houding zou moeten aanpassen.\u0026rdquo;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eR.
