Dekker and Ester's (1987) position regarding working class authoritarianism, using Wright's (1979, 1985) neo-marxist class-conceptualization, is challenged. It is shown in replication that Wright's class concepts are only weakly and non-linearly related to `class-proxies' such as income, wealth, educational level and subjective social class. Thus there is reason for doubt regarding the validity of Wright's class-concept, which might be partly responsible for the weak associations found with authoritarianism and authoritarian attitudes. Nevertheless, we found that Dekker and Ester's (1987) hypotheses 1 and 2 cannot be rejected: the working class is somewhat more authoritarian than all other classes combined. We maintain that the well-known relatively strong relationship between educational level and authoritarianism remains of major theoretical and social relevance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
