People with authoritarian personalities tend to see society as hierarchical, with people who are naturally superior having the right to power over others.

具有专制人格的人往往认为社会是等级森严的，天生优越的人有权凌驾于他人之上。

So according to this theory, racial prejudice is heightened when an authoritarian personality feels there’s some moral or physical threat to their way of life.

因此，根据这一理论，当独裁者觉得他们的生活方式受到道德或身体上的威胁时，种族偏见就会加剧。

The authoritarian personality theory sees prejudice as the outgrowth of a certain personality profile – one that’s associated with authoritarianism, or the desire for order, tradition, and strong leaders who will maintain the status quo.

威权人格理论将偏见视为某种人格特征的产物——与威权主义或对秩序、传统和维持现状的强大领导者的渴望有关。
