RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FAMILY FUNCTIONING
AND AUTHORITARIANISM

On the sample of secondary school students
from Subotica (N=403) hypothesis on family antecedents of authoritarianism
(Adorno et al., 1950) has been checked out. Authoritarianism was operationalized
by the scale AUT (37 items), intended for measurement of three hypothetical
components of the authoritarianism: conventionalism, authoritarian aggressiveness
and authoritarian submissiveness. Perception of family functioning was
assessed by the scale FAD-S (23 items). Relationships between the (perception
of) family functioning and authoritarianism have been determined by calculation
of correlation coefficients between factors from the scales AUT and FAD-S.
Contrary to the original hypothesis
are findings that favourable experience of a family as harmonic one and
conventionalism are positively correlated, as well as negative correlation
between the acceptance of authoritarian ideology and perceived alienation
between family members. In accordance with the original theory are: negative
correlation between destructiveness and cynicism and harmonic family relations,
and positive one with familial hostility and family disorder; and positive
correlation between submissiveness and family alienation.
Methodological problems of questionnaire-type
studies of family antecedents of the authoritarianism (inconclusiveness
caused by multidirectional nature of hypothesized psychological processes)
have also been discussed.
Key words: authoritarianism, family
functioning, factor analysis, FAD
