Right-wing authoritarians have been shown to resist change and to demonstrate hostility toward out-groups and social movements that may advocate change from traditional and conventional beliefs. Using data from the Louisville Metropolitan Survey, an omnibus survey of 771 adults interviewed by telephone, the authors investigated the relationship between right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and attitudes toward mental health services. The findings of the bivariate and regression analyses indicated that high scorers on a version of B. Altemeyer's (1988) RWA index were more likely to hold negative attitudes on mental health services. In particular, the Submissive Authoritarianism scale predicted negative attitudes toward mental health services; however, scores on the Conventionality subscale were not related to attitudes toward mental health services
