Why were People Okay with Nazis?

short description summarizing activity put under title too.

In the wake of the Holocaust, social and personality began exploring what kind of person would be okay with Nazis? | Psychology Key Concepts: Authoritarianism; Fascism; F-Scale; Theodor Adorno

"Do people just have attitudes toward people and issues of the day, or is there a deeper personality driving people's mindset toward freedom and restriction? Soon after World War II, Theodor Adorno (1950) thought so and he designed the F-Scale to measure it. Try it to see what you think and compare to an alternative framing.

Additional Information

Uneasy Feelings about Your Results?
Please remember your results with any activity are not who you are. Your results are a 'snapshot' of a moment when you did an activity. It's just one measure, a single thread, of the many strands of who you are. Any result is a guess with statistical error. And it's possible the measure is flawed in a way so it doesn't work for you. Please do not think of your results as definitive dogma. Instead they're a starting point for our self reflection. Please keep in mind too, self-reflection can feel uncomfortable. "Bad" feelings are not actually bad. They're information. So, even if your activity result is inaccurate and flawed, you might ask yourself what your feeling is trying to tell you? Trusted teachers, friends, and therapists can be helpful. I wrote an essay elaborating with concrete examples how we can appreciate uneasy feelings about our activity results.

Scholarly Information?
You're welcome to use Copernican Revolution activities and essays for your thesis and studies. Having information about scholarly aspects like psychometric data, activity design details, and norm calculations may help. The primary focus of my essays is connecting educated laypersons with psychology. To help people like you, with advanced academic interests, I add an appendix with each activity.
