Abstract

the aim of present study was to investigate the relationship of perfectionism, dogmatism, and cognitive coping ways with authoritarianism (Right -wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation) in athletes and teachers. Statistical research population was the total of teachers and athletes in second half of 1387. Teachers sample were selected by cluster sampling and athletes sample were selected randomly. Measures were included: MPS-H, PANPS, some items of DEQ, Ray Dogmatism Scale, WCQ Folkman and Lazarus, RWA Zakrisson Scale, SDO Pratto et al Scale. The raw data were analyzed with Pearson correlation, stepwise regression, tow-way analysis of variance, discriminant analysis, and LSD as post hoc test. Results indicated a positive correlation between positive, self-oriented, social prescribed, and self-critical perfectionism with authoritarianism. The positive and strong correlation also was observed between Dogmatism, and Right- Wing authoritarianism. This construct was correlated most strongly with self controlling, and planful problem solving and positive reappraisal as coping ways. Social dominance orientation was correlated significantly with all dimensions of perfectionism. The most significant relationship was observed between self-oriented and social prescribed perfectionism with SDO. There was a strong and significant correlation between SDO and dogmatism. In respect to coping ways, SDO indicated the strongest relationship with self-controlling. The main difference was in regard to positive reappraisal, that right-wing authoritarians tend to utilize it most widely, while there was no such tendency among athletes. it was observed significant difference between tow groups, with teachers having more tendency to dominate.
