Abstract
The traits underlying the authoritarian syndrome suggest that high-authoritarian Ss are insecure and low in self esteem. The present study investigated this hypothesis employing several independent assessments of self esteem. Results tended to confirm this hypothesis but showed only moderate relationships among the several measures of self esteem.Keywords
