description A agressão autoritária, a submissão autoritária e o convencionalismo são crenças sociais ou atitudes que fazem parte do chamado “autoritarismo”. Este estudo apresenta a construção e análise das propriedades psicométricas de uma escala abreviada para avaliar tendências autoritárias, a Escala de Atitudes ante o Autoritarismo (Escaut). No total, participaram 786 brasileiros adultos, entre os 18 e 75 anos, 70.7 % militares. Inicialmente, foram elaborados 42 itens para captar os principais tipos de crenças autoritárias, e os resultados das análises fatoriais ordinais permitiram reter 20 itens de moderados a altamente discriminatórios (cargas > .50) de dois fatores latentes: autoritarismo moral e punitivo (α = .88) e autoritarismo submisso (α = .89). As curvas de informação revelaram uma ampla cobertura da variável latente para ambas as subescalas. Inclusive, o instrumento foi capaz de discriminar participantes militares de não militares, com grandes efeitos para as diferenças entre os grupos. Em conclusão, a Escaut consiste numa escala abreviada de autorrelato que pode ser utilizada na pesquisa das principais atitudes autoritárias presentes na população em geral. Ao final do artigo, são discutidas as limitações deste estudo.

In the present study, we report on the development and the test of the psychometric properties of a brief scale for the assessment of authoritarian tendencies, the Attitudes toward Authoritarianism Scale (ESCAUT). Participants in the study were 786 adults with ages ranging from 18 to 75 years, 70.7 % military. An initial pool of 42 items written to capture the core features of authoritarianism was evaluated by specialists, and then answered by the participants. Results from ordinal factor analysis indicated 20 items with moderately to highly discriminative (factor loadings > .50) of two latent factors: Moral and punitive authoritarianism (α = .88), and submissive authoritarianism (α = .89). Test information curves revealed a broad coverage of the latent trait in both subscales. Moreover, the instrument could discriminate military from non-military participants, with large size differences.
