In an Italian sample (N = 483, 78.23% women, mean age = 27.61 years old), we used structural equation modeling with latent variables and interactions to analyze the direct, indirect, and interactive effects exerted on right-wing authoritarianism by the Big Five factors of personality and by dangerous world beliefs. Openness, Neuroticism, and Conscientiousness exerted direct effects on right-wing authoritarianism; the first two relationships were partially mediated by dangerous world beliefs. Most importantly, the relationship between dangerous world beliefs and right-wing authoritarianism was moderated by Openness: dangerous world beliefs significantly influenced right-wing authoritarianism solely for participants high in Openness. Limitations and possible developments of this research are discussed.
在一个意大利样本中（N=483，78.23%为女性，平均年龄为 27.61 岁），我们使用结构方程模型和潜在变量及交互作用来分析人格的五大因素和危险世界信念对右翼威权主义的直接、间接和交互影响。开放性、神经质和尽责性对右翼威权主义有直接影响；前两个关系部分通过危险世界信念来中介。最重要的是，危险世界信念与右翼威权主义的关系受到开放性的调节：危险世界信念仅对开放性高的参与者产生显著影响。讨论了这项研究的局限性和可能的发展方向。
