Assuming that authoritarianism in Greater Syria is more prevalent than in the US, a 33 item F-scale was used (22 original, 8 from the California PEC, and 3 new items) to determine the relationship between authoritarianism and score magnitude. A sample of American U. of Beirut students (N=130: 77 Lebanese, 19 Syrian, 12 Palestinian, 11 Jordanian, 6 Iraqi, 5 Bahreini; 70 being Christians and 60 Moslems) received the questionnaire translated into Arabic. It was found that residence in an authoritarian culture leads to higher F scores, and that Moslems had a higher (mean - average) score than Christians. Conservatism was not related with authoritarianism, most of the authoritarian Ss were radical on matters of government responsibility for social welfare, increased taxation on corporate earnings, wealthy individuals, etc. L.
