@article{8639899, abstract = {{The roles of authoritarianism, social dominance orientation (SDO), and prejudice in the prediction of far-right support were examined in Europe and the United States. A meta-analysis shows remarkably similar, positive, and strong associations of far-right support with these three variables in previous studies conducted in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Results from two cross-sectional studies in the United States further indicated that higher levels of authoritarianism and SDO related to higher voting intentions and support for Trump, via increased prejudice. In a three-wave longitudinal study in the United Kingdom, authoritarianism and SDO predicted pro-Brexit attitudes and support for the U.K. Independence Party, again via prejudice. These results shed a new light on the widely held beliefs in "American and British exceptionalism," as Trump and Brexit adherents share the same social-psychological underpinnings as far-right supporters observed in several European countries.}}, author = {{Van Assche, Jasper and Dhont, Kristof and Pettigrew, Thomas F.}}, issn = {{1052-9284}}, journal = {{JOURNAL OF COMMUNITY & APPLIED SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY}}, keywords = {{Sociology and Political Science,Social Psychology,authoritarianism,Brexit,ethnic prejudice,social dominance orientation,Trump,RIGHT-WING AUTHORITARIANISM,DOMINANCE ORIENTATION,COLLECTIVE NARCISSISM,INTERGROUP CONTACT,ATTITUDES,IDEOLOGY,PARTIES,TRUMP,PREFERENCES,PERSONALITY}}, language = {{eng}}, number = {{5}}, pages = {{385--401}}, title = {{The social‐psychological bases of far‐right support in Europe and the United States}}, url = {{http://doi.org/10.1002/casp.2407}}, volume = {{29}}, year = {{2019}},}
