To test the relationship of concern with social status and the authoritarian personality with anti-Semitism, the SC scale (status-concern) was constructed. When the SC scale, with the California F (authoritarianism) and A-S (anti-Semitism) scales, was administered to 213 non-Jewish undergraduates, it was found that the specific attitude to status offers a more satisfactory explanation of anti-Semitism than does the ill-defined aspect of personality. The question is raised concerning existence of a more general status-achievement ideology, of which the attitudes expressed in the A-S and F scales are only a part.
