Abstract
"In an examination of the relationship between repression and authoritarian and ethnocentric attitudes, a group of male freshmen college students filled out the California E and F scales and then participated in an auditory perception experiment in which they were asked to identify a series of noise-masked self-disparaging sexual and aggressive sentences and neutral control sentences. The F scores were significantly related to the perception of sentences in both the sexual and aggressive areas with the more authoritarian men demonstrating poorer recognition accuracy. The E scale, on the other hand, did not prove to be related to perceptual performance." The results were interpreted as indicating stronger repressive tendencies in the authoritarian Ss.
