This sounds like great man theory and hyper-individualism, not "authoritarianism"
so they asked people if they raise kids like conservatives, and then conservatives said "yeah", and then instead of identifying that they just made a test for conservative values, they decided it was a test for authoritarianism?
"My child should be required to read about the history of slavery and the civil rights movement" and "My child should be punished for refusing to be accepting of their LGBTQ+ friends" are both authoritarian stances that conservatives would have answered hard-no to. You could have flipped the finding of the study by using questions that imply progressive authority instead of conservative authority. The only way they could have got results like this is by pretending that the only authoritarianism comes from the conservative right.
