More from that liberal cesspool of higher education. You know, just about every college professor at a school north of the sister dating line.
Politically conservative agendas may range from supporting the Vietnam War to upholding traditional moral and religious values to opposing welfare. But are there consistent underlying motivations?
Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include:
Fear and aggression - Yep that's you!
Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity - Absolutely you!!
Uncertainty avoidance - WOW 3 for 3!!
Need for cognitive closure - Holy smokes could it be a perfect score!
Terror management - Nailed it
"From our perspective, these psychological factors are capable of contributing to the adoption of conservative ideological contents, either independently or in combination," the researchers wrote in an article, "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition," recently published in the American Psychological Association's Psychological Bulletin.
