至于认知风格、威权主义和政治之间的关系，目前尚无定论，争论仍在继续。这篇文章探讨了关闭的需要、威权主义和政治取向之间的关系。178名意大利受试者接受了意大利版的认知封闭量表、意大利版的威权主义量表和政治取向的测量。结果表明，封闭的需要和威权主义都与右翼政治倾向相关，而且这种关系是线性的。此外，威权主义似乎调停了关闭的需要对政治方向的影响。(C)2002爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
As regards the relationship between cognitive style, authoritarianism and politics, no secure conclusion can be drawn and the debate is still alive. This contribution explores the relationship between need for closure, authoritarianism and political orientation. One hundred and seventy-eight Italian participants were administered the Italian version of the Need for Cognitive Closure scale, an Italian version of the authoritarianism scale and a measure of political orientation. Results show that both need for closure and authoritarianism are associated with a right wing political orientation, and that this relationship is linear. Moreover, authoritarianism seems to mediate the influence of need for closure on political orientation. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
