Political ideology: its structure, functions, and elective affinities. (2009, background): “…clear indications that interest has revived in bottom-up psychological processes contributing to ideological outcomes (e.g., Barker & Tinnick 2006, Block & Block 2006, Caprara 2007, Carney et al. 2008, Jost et al. 2008b, Kemmelmeier 2007, Leone & Chirumbolo 2008, Ozer & Benet-Martinez 2006,…”
Political contributions and analyst behavior (2015, neutral): “For example, in a longitudinal study, Block and Block (2006) show that preschool children who later identify themselves as conservatives were perceived by their teachers as rigid, inhibited, and fearful, while children who later identified themselves as liberals were portrayed as self-reliant,…”
The Secret Lives of Liberals and Conservatives: Personality Profiles, Interaction Styles, and the Things They Leave Behind (2008, background): “…that left-wingers are more motivated by creativity, curiosity, and diversity of experience, whereas right-wingers are more orderly, parsimonious, rigid, and more strongly motivated by self-control, norm attainment, and rule following (see also Block & Block, 2006; Jost et al., 2003a, 2003b).”
Emotions and Emotion Regulation in Intractable Conflict: Studying Emotional Processes Within a Unique Context (2015, background): “There are also indications that rightists have a greater tendency to experience fear than leftists, with longitudinal data revealing that individuals who displayed greater fear reaction as toddlers tend to hold ideologies that are more right-leaning in their adult years (Block & Block, 2006).”
Personality correlates of party preference: The Big Five in five big European countries (2011, background): “…studies, in this regard, suggest that: (a) personality differences between liberals and conservatives begin in early childhood and affect political orientation throughout life (Block & Block, 2006), and (b) political ideologies may be shaped by genetic inheritance (Alford, Funk, & Hibbing, 2005).”
Personal, Interpersonal, and Political Temperaments (2007, methodology): “Using an imaginative research design, Block and Block (2005) reported that personality traits of nursery school children are predictive of political beliefs held by those same individuals when grown up.”
Unearthing the “Green” Personality (2016, background): “This causal hierarchy is supported by longitudinal evidence showing the enduring effects of early personality on outcomes later in life (e.g., Block & Block, 2006), and in particular by evidence that early temperament (e.g., in 3-year-olds) predicts later values, attitudes, and behaviors before…”
Conservatives are happier than liberals, but why? Political ideology, personality, and life satisfaction (2012, background): “Even children in nursery school, who 20 years later self-identify as conservatives, have been described as fearful, rigid, inhibited, and vulnerable (Block & Block, 2006).”
The marketplace of ideology: “Elective affinities” in political psychology and their implications for consumer behavior (2017, background): “Longitudinal research reveals that children who are fearful and inhibited are indeed more likely to become conservative adults, especially if their parents emphasize the value of obedience (Block & Block, 2006; Fraley, Griffin, Belsky, & Roisman, 2012).”
