People make a community, not CC&Rs, bylaws, rules or amenities
For the record, I am not a psychologist, psychiatrist, or sociologist. I am skilled in statistical analysis and in conducting social research. (See My Life and Take the Deal on my website, starman.com).
Using psychologist Bob Altemeyer’s RWA scale (Right Wing Authoritarian Followers, not political designation) the respondents were identified (by a Score) as to their standing as an Authoritarian Followers (AF): authoritarian persons cannot exist without substantial followers. The primary intent of the research was to determine why so many HOA members blindly followed their HOA.
The results suggest that the reason for the failure of members to act according to democratic principles and values is the degree to which the “community” is affected by Authoritarian Followers.
