Objective of the study was to study right wing authoritarianism (RWA), ethnocentrism
and war attitudes among university students of India. The sample consisted of 245
participants inclusive of 117 males and 128 females. Generalised Ethnocentrism Scale
(GENE), Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWA Scale), and War Attitude Scale (WAS)
were used as measures of the study. Results indicated a significant relationship of
these three variables in the entire sample. Whereas, males did not show a significant
association between RWA and war attitudes. RWA emerged as a significant predictor
of both ethnocentrism and war attitude in the overall sample. It is concluded that
RWA, ethnocentrism and war attitudes are related to each other, where RWA predicts
ethnocentrism and war attitudes.
