This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Authoritarian Attitude Scale in a sample of high school students from Chile. A total of 775 students (46.5% men; 53.5% women), with an average age of 15.99 years (Sd = 1.32), participated through non-probabilistic convenience sampling in 11 schools. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a three-factor structure with correlated factors and adequate fit indices. Criterion validity revealed positive and significant correlations with the violent behaviour dimension of the antisocial and delinquent behaviour scale. The factorial invariance analysis confirmed configural, weak, strong, and strict equivalence by gender, age and ethnicity, demonstrating model stability. The adoption of the Authoritarian Attitude Scale among Chilean adolescents provides a valid, culturally relevant tool for assessing authoritarian tendencies and understanding psychosocial dynamics in the educational context. The findings offer initial evidence of the scale's reliability and validity.
本研究旨在评估智利高中生样本中威权态度量表的心理测量特性。共有775名学生（46.5%为男性；53.5%为女性），平均年龄15.99岁（标准差=1.32），通过非概率便利抽样参与了11所学校的研究。验证性因素分析支持了一个具有相关因素和适当拟合指数的三因素结构。效标效度显示，该量表与反社会和犯罪行为量表中的暴力行为维度呈正相关且具有显著性。因素不变性分析通过性别、年龄和种族证实了构型、弱、强和严格等价性，证明了模型的稳定性。智利青少年采用威权态度量表为评估威权倾向和理解教育背景下的社会心理动态提供了一个有效且与文化相关的工具。研究结果为该量表的信度和效度提供了初步证据。
