摘要：

Although right-wing authoritarianism is among the most well-studied constructs in the social sciences, left-wing authoritarianism (LWA) has only recently gathered attention. To expand on this burgeoning area, this study investigated LWA's associations with an encompassing list of tactical self-presentation behaviors that are designed to gain power. A sample of US adults (N = 446; Mage = 46.10; 51% female) completed self-report measures of LWA and their use of 12 self-presentation tactics. LWA was related to a protean overreliance on all self-presentation tactics except apologies, which could not be attributed to liberalism or demographics (e.g. age; sex; race) and were consistent across LWA's facets. Our findings suggest the utility of conceptualizing LWA as based in strategic self-presentation behavior that can secure social power.
