Summary	The Dogmatism Scale, developed by Milton Rokeach (1960), measures dogmatism, the degree to which a person's belief system is closed, rigid, and resistant to change, regardless of its ideological content. Conceived as an ideology-free alternative to the authoritarianism research of the 1950s, it captures closed-mindedness on the left as well as the right, and was later modernized by Altemeyer (2002).	The authoritarian-dynamic approach, developed by Stenner (2005) and Feldman (2003), measures authoritarianism as a latent predisposition toward favoring social conformity and order over individual autonomy and difference, typically assessed with four forced-choice child-rearing values items rather than attitude statements. Its distinctive claim is that intolerance is a dynamic product of this predisposition interacting with perceived normative threat.
