Abstract: The term authoritarian personality, introduced by Adorno and his colleagues, is to discribe the personality dimension of prejudice. Basing on this, Altemeyer introduced Right-Wing Authoritarianism, which consists of three components: authoritarian submission, conventionalism, and authoritarian aggression. But later some researchers suggested that these concepts should be regarded as attitudes, the foundation of which is the personality dimension of social conformity versus autonomy. The authoritarians are very sensitive to the violation of conventional values, which is an important source of threat, and the perception of threat is the trigger for prejudice

Key words: authoritarian personality, prejudice, submission, conventionalism, aggression
