在明尼苏达州分开抚养的双胞胎研究中，对345名参与者（双胞胎、配偶、朋友和其他人）进行了威尔逊-帕特森态度量表的28项版本。总体保守主义衡量标准表现出令人印象深刻的建构有效性。它具有较强的收敛效度，与Altemeyer右翼权威主义量表和多维人格问卷（MPQ）权威主义量表的相关系数分别为0.72和0.58。它也有很强的判别效度，与其他10个MPQ量表和WAIS全量表智商基本不相关。根据54对同卵双生子和46对异卵双生子的方差-协方差矩阵拟合模型计算遗传力。保守主义表现出了显著的、相当大的遗传影响（h（2）= 0.56），重复了弗吉尼亚州30，000对普通双胞胎和家庭成员的研究以及澳大利亚一项大型双胞胎研究的结果。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
A 28 item version of the Wilson-Patterson Attitude Inventory was administered to 345 participants (twins, spouses, friends, and others) in the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart. An overall conservatism measure demonstrated impressive construct validity. It had strong convergent validity, demonstrated by correlations of 0.72 and 0.58 with the Altemeyer Right Wing Authoritarianism scale and the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) Traditionalism Scale, respectively. It also had strong discriminant validity, being largely uncorrelated with the other 10 MPQ Scales and WAIS Full Scale IQ. Heritabilities were calculated from fitting models to the variance-covariance matricies based on 54 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and 46 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins reared apart. Conservatism demonstrated significant and sizeable genetic influence (h(2) = 0.56), replicating the results reported in the Virginia 30,000 study of ordinary twins and family members and those of a large Australian twin study.
