General Science / Re: How would you operationalize Authority?

If you need to do an experiment, you could google previous work in Psychology on the subject of Authority (referring to a few relevant papers in your report shows that you did some homework).
Then extend their work into a new area (perhaps one relevant to you, or in your locality).
A quick search turned up a questionnaire on Parental Authority - but there are many kinds of authority.

I was recently talking to a psychology student who was able to engage many people to take part in his thesis study by connecting with them on social media, and pointing them to his questionnaire on-line. Tools like Survey Monkey are free, and will collect the results for you.
