    Child abuse potential did not correlate with authoritarianism, but rigidity, a factor of child abuse, showed a significant link. Further analysis explored personality variables, revealing complex relationships in adult students.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Child abuse potential is a significant concern in psychological research.
    • Authoritarianism is a personality trait studied for its societal implications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between child abuse potential and authoritarianism.
    • To validate the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory factors (rigidity, loneliness) using convergent and discriminant validity.
    • To explore correlations with the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) variables.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory and the Public Opinion Scale (POS).
    • Employed the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) for personality variable assessment.
    • Recruited two groups: 150 undergraduate students and 34 adult students.

    Main Results:

    • No significant relationship was found between overall child abuse potential scores and authoritarianism (p > .05).
    • A significant positive relationship was observed between the CAP rigidity factor and authoritarianism in both groups (p < .05).
    • A significant inverse relationship was found between EPPS affiliation and authoritarianism in the undergraduate group (p < .05), but not in the adult group.

    Conclusions:

    • Child abuse potential, as a whole, is not directly associated with authoritarianism.
    • The rigidity factor within child abuse potential demonstrates a significant link to authoritarianism.
    • Personality traits like affiliation show varied relationships with authoritarianism depending on the student population studied.
