Abstract
ABSTRACT This study reports on the development of a socialization scale and its use to assess attitudes toward social authority. American college students (N = 729, 356 men, 373 women) completed surveys for seven studies. The surveys consisted of the socialization measure and several other scales used to measure the students' attitudes toward the law, police authority, family, parents, and physicians. Results of the item analysis yielded a scale with part-whole correlations ranging from .44 to .85 (p ≤ .001) and a corrected split-half reliability of .75 (p ≤ .001). Consistent relationships were found between oversocialization and positive attitudes toward social authority.
