Abstract [eng] The article presents the results of measurement of authoritarian, anti-feminist, homophobic attitudes conducted by applying Right Wing Authoritarianism (Altemeyer 1981, 1988; Schneider 1997), Homophobia (Herek 1988) and Anti-feminism scales (Smith, Ferree & Miller 1975) in youth groups of one of the regions of Lithuania. The research respondents were 169 students attending different types of educational institutions (vocational schools, non-university colleges and university). Besides the above mentioned scales, the survey questionnaire included 20 items reflecting variables (gender, age, residence, educational institution, learning experience, behaviour and achievements at school, some socialization factors, education and professional occupation of parents, etc.). This article focuses on gender aspects of authoritarianism, anti- feminism/ sexism and homophobia. The participants responded to the questionnaire items on 6-point agree- disagree scales from “very strongly disagree” (1) to “very strongly agree” (6). Statistical analysis methods were used: reliability analysis, correlation and factor analysis (VARIMAX). Non-parametric tests (Mann- Whitn ey U, Wilcoxon W, Kruskall- Wallis) were employed to identify statistical differences.
