Authoritarianism and the social work student

The researcher began with a fundamental question, i.e., are social work students in any one specialized area more authoritarian than other social work students? A review of related literature revealed group workers to be higher scorers than other social work students on Rokeach's Form D Dogmatism Scale, a measurement of authoritarianism. The Form D Dogmatism Scale was administered to fifty-one undergraduate social work students. Results indicated that social work students were uniformly high in authoritarianism and no significant diminution of this authoritarianism was achieved with any variable, that is, age, sex, or social work specialty.
