description Tässä maisterintutkielmassa selvitin tilastollisia analyysimenetelmiä hyödyntäen, millainen vaikutus ihmisten asuinmaalla ja sen hauraudella (epädemokraattisuudella) on heidän henkilökohtaiseen autoritääriseen orientaatioonsa. Valitsin teoriaohjaavasti joukon European Values Study 2017 -tietoaineistoon sisällytettyjä muuttujia, muodostin autoritääristä orientaatiota mittaavan skaalan ja testasin sen validiteettia. Validoinnin päätteeksi totesin sen enimmiltä osin toimivaksi. Skaala on käyttökelpoinen 31:ssa aineistoon sisällytetyistä yhteensä 34 maasta – sen sisäinen konsistenssi osoittautui riittämättömäksi ainoastaan Armeniassa, Montenegrossa ja Azerbaidzhanissa. Kyseessä on tiettävästi ensimmäinen kerta, kun autoritääristä orientaatiota on tutkittu yhtäältä systemaattisesti vertailevalla otteella, sekä toisaalta näin laajaa ja tilastollisesti edustavaa aineistoa hyödyntäen. Skaalaan sisällyttämieni muuttujien valinnassa ja viitekehyksen yleisemmässä rakentamisessa hyödynsin erityisesti Bob Altemeyerin autoritärismiteoriaa. Koska Altemeyerin käsitteellistys olettaa poliittisen ilmapiirin ja erityisesti valtaapitävien olevan enimmäkseen ”konservatiivisia”, ei se ole sellaisenaan toimiva kaikissa eurooppalaisissa poliittisissa ilmapiireissä. Tästä syystä päädyin muuttamaan kyseistä käsitteellistystä siten, ettei se enää ota kantaa vakiintuneiden auktoriteettien konservatismin asteeseen. Tulokset osoittavat, että asuinmaa selittää noin 35 prosenttia henkilökohtaisen autoritäärisen orientaation vaihtelusta. Tämä vaikutus supistuu huomattavasti, kun valtioiden hauraus vakioidaan. Hauraus on myös sikäli konsistentti autoritäärisen orientaation selittäjä, että sen selitysvoima säilyy senkin jälkeen, kun useiden yksilötason muuttujien vaikutus huomioidaan käyttäen moniluokitteluanalyysiä (MCA). Käytännössä tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että hauraammissa maissa asuu keskimäärin autoritäärisempiä ihmisiä. Kysymykseen siitä, aiheuttaako tällaisissa maissa asuminen kansalaisissaan autoritäärisyyttä, vai ylläpitävätkö autoritääriset ihmiset epädemokraattisia järjestelmiä, ei tämän tutkielman puitteissa ole mahdollista tyhjentävästi vastata. On kuitenkin varsin todennäköistä, että suhde toimii molempiin suuntiin. In this master's thesis, I examined whether people's country of residence and its "fragility", or lack of democracy, affect their personal authoritarian orientation. To measure authoritarian orientation, I selected 30 variables included in the European Values Study 2017 dataset, created a scale, and tested its validity. At the end of the validation, I found the scale to be mostly functional. The scale is usable in 31 out of the total of 34 countries included in the data – its internal consistency proved insufficient only in Armenia, Montenegro, and Azerbaijan. As far as is known, this is the first time that authoritarian orientation has been studied with a systematic comparative approach while using such extensive and statistically representative data. Bob Altemeyer’s theory of authoritarianism comprises the core of the theoretical frame of reference in this thesis. Since Altemeyer's conceptualization assumes the political climate and especially those in power mostly as "conservative", it is not functional as such in all European political climates. For this reason, I remodeled the conceptualization so that it no longer takes a position on the degree of conservatism of the established authorities. The results show that the country of residence explains about 35 percent of the variance of authoritarian orientation, and this effect shrinks considerably when the "fragility" of the states is fixed. The explanatory power of fragility stays consistent even after the effect of several individual-level variables is standardized using multiple classification analysis (MCA). This means that the people living more fragile countries are generally more authoritarian, and vice versa. The question of whether living in such countries causes authoritarianism in their citizens, or whether authoritarian people maintain undemocratic systems, cannot be exhaustively answered within the scope of this thesis. However, it is quite likely that the relationship works both ways.
