Abstract
Ninety-two university students (55 women; 37 men) participated in a st udy of the relationship between authoritarian and socially restrictive attitudes toward mental patients and the variables of trait-anxiety, self-esteem, locus of control, age, and gender. Results of multivariat e analyses showed that individuals who score high in authoritarianism tend to be young, male, and believers in chance and fate (external loc us of control). A similar pattern was found for social restrictiveness .
