Abstract We analyzed the relations between exposure to news describing a natural disaster and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) with 241 Italian adults, surveyed twice, before and after a severe earthquake. Our results were compatible with the idea that the exposure to earthquake news led to an increase in RWA among people who had low, but not among who had relatively high, authoritarian levels before the event. We discuss the findings in terms of compensatory control, and highlight strengths and limitations of the study.

通过对威权态度的认可来面对自然灾害

摘要 我们对 241 名意大利成年人分析了接触描述自然灾害的新闻与右翼威权主义 (RWA) 之间的关系，这些成年人在严重地震前后接受了两次调查。我们的结果与以下观点一致，即地震新闻的曝光会导致事件前专制水平较低的人的 RWA 增加，但不会增加专制水平相对较高的人。我们讨论了补偿控制方面的发现，并强调了研究的优势和局限性。
