Volunteers from fundamentalist churches and a Psychology of Religion class (N = 77) completed Altemeyer and Hunsberger's 1992 Fundamentalism Scale, Altemeyer's 1988 Right-wing Authoritarianism Scale, and answered questions about science, religion, and their relationship. Scores on the scales were highly positively correlated. Neither orientation correlated with seeing science as improving life, and both correlated with being troubled by newer developments in science such as organ transplants or genetic engineering. Partial correlations showed that both orientations favored religious beliefs over scientific data when there was a perceived conflict. Three subscales of right-wing authoritarianism clarified how authoritarianism correlated with other measures, thereby supporting a multidimensional conceptualization of right-wing authoritarianism.
来自原教旨主义教会的志愿者以及一门宗教心理学课程的学生（N = 77）完成了阿尔特迈耶（Altemeyer）和洪斯伯格（Hunsberger）1992年的原教旨主义量表、阿尔特迈耶1988年的右翼威权主义量表，并回答了有关科学、宗教及其关系的问题。这些量表上的得分呈高度正相关。这两种倾向都与认为科学能改善生活无关，且都与因器官移植或基因工程等科学新进展而感到困扰有关。偏相关分析表明，当存在认知冲突时，这两种倾向都更倾向于宗教信仰而非科学数据。右翼威权主义的三个子量表阐明了威权主义与其他测量指标的关联方式，从而支持了对右翼威权主义的多维概念化。
