The study cites this for how they measured each form of "authoritarianism":
The study it cites about "left-wing authoritarianism" explicitly states that it "strongly correlates with engagement in political violence" in the abstract and for why they think their research matters, which makes it sound like they want to get some phrenology-based "Minority Report" thing going.
I find this kind of research very suspicious overall.
ya i find it super sus too. Like even assuming the studies finding are infalliable and true which they arent, you still have correlation/causation issues. Issues with the interplay of each persons political views with their own existing government, for example a communist in the USA or in China has a very different lived experience. Its just a nonsense study imo.
Luckily they know so little about the brain all they can do is publish bunk studies like this shit
