Abstract
The present research investigates the relationship between right wing ideology and maladaptive personality as measured by the Dimensional Assessment of Personality Pathology-Basic Questionnaire (DAPP-BQ) in an adult sample (N=225). Analogous to previous studies, Openness to Experience was significantly related to right wing ideology. Conscientiousness was only modestly related to right wing ideology, but its maladaptive equivalent—Compulsiveness—was significantly related to right wing ideology. A significant relationship was also found for maladaptive Disagreeableness. The other personality traits were only modestly related to political ideology. The implications of the relationship between right-wing ideology and adaptive and maladaptive Openness and Conscientiousness are discussed.
