“…As another activist observed, 'release to those who were free of financial anxieties, or the worry of dependents, was not of such vital importance'. 55 This realisation provided Watts with a salutary lesson. In an emergency one could not rely on these career fascists who had some level of economic or social investment in the status quo.…”

This article examines the varying experiences of British fascists interned without trial in May 1940. As Arthur Koestler noted in his 1952 Arrow in the Blue, 'to be converted or convinced is a more or less sharply defined act; to lose a conviction is a long process of wear and tear'. By understanding internment to have represented just such a 'watershed', the experience of British fascists is revealed as a fascinating case study of political religion and by extension as a prime example of the binding power of 'coterie charisma'. By conceptualising the experience of internment in such a manner, this article also explores the psychological processes that prevented the ideological death of British fascism. Focusing upon British fascism's interpretation of internment as a cleansing crucible that intensified the political fanaticism of those who passed through it, it reveals the pivotal role that political religion played in the ideological transmission of the 'sacred flame' of British fascism into the immediate post-war period and beyond. By examining internment as a transcendent, faith-based experience, this article will argue that the reaffirmation of commitment to British fascism and, in many cases, to Sir Oswald Mosley personally, together forged a necessary 'myth' of internment through which the defeat and privation experienced by individual fascist activists during the Second World War could be reinterpreted and rationalised not as defeat but as the harbinger of a new dawn, after which fascism would emerge triumphant.

Using psychometric meta-analysis, the authors present a quantitative and qualitative review (k = 205, total pairwise N = 62,527) of the literature relating trait and state positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) to job-related attitudes, including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, turnover intentions, and dimensions of job burnout. Results indicated substantial correlations, ranging in absolute value from -.17 (PA and turnover intentions; NA and personal accomplishment) to.54 (NA and emotional exhaustion). Correlational results largely were consistent across hypothesized and exploratory moderator conditions. Meta-analytic multiple regression results generally supported the unique contribution of each affect to each attitude variable of interest. Implications and suggestions for future research on emotion-related aspects of job attitudes are discussed.
