Ciemna strona autorytetu

Abstract
An authority is mentioned by psychologists as one of three, apart from copying and conformism, expressions of a social influence. A man is largely helpless against it. He succumbs to it, without realising it. The identification of the authority takes place not basing on carefully planned transformation of information, but rather basing on superficial interpretation of certain signals showing the competence in a given area or the power of an individual. In the army where the educational process is traditionally based on authority, it is extremely difficult to sort out controversies resulting from the tendencies to shape both the attitude of respect and obedience towards superiors as well as subjectivity and independence in thinking. Obedience and rigorism, which serve well to shape external signs of discipline, often fail in complicated situations on the battlefield.
