Abstract
Based on the responses of 273 university and business school students residing in New Orleans, Louisiana, the reliability and factor structure of the Wilson-Patterson Conservatism Scale as used with American, English, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Australian subjects were examined. Similar mean-item scores and factor structures across samples suggest the cross-cultural usefulness of the scale as a measure for conservatism.Keywords
