Temperament as a Predictor of Political Views
Temperament and emotional makeup are better predictors of political views than careful consideration. Anxiousness by ambiguity and novelty tends to lead to conservative political views, while seeing the future as exciting leads to progressive views. Those who feel overwhelmed by ambiguity tend to favor autocrats and social dominance, valuing social order over social freedom. Additionally, conservatives are more anxious about dirt and tend to have more cleaning products in their homes than progressives.
