Abstract

An expression and a probable instigator of the Psychology of Hate Crimes is the so-called Right-wing authoritarianism. These undemocratic, conservative and punitive tendencies are identifiable in contemporary El Salvador linked to the conditions of high insecurity, violence and uncertainty that the country experiences. The article theorized about Right-wing Authoritarianism and offer some results of an original scale for measuring the phenomenon. The main results reconfirm that authoritarian attitudes exist in the salvadoran population and that they are fed by aspects such as the perception of anomie or the prejudice towards the delinquents. It concludes with some implications and future research possibilities.
