Citations in the corpus

• The closed mind: ‘Experience’ and ‘cognition’ aspects of openness to experience and need for closure as psychological bases for right–wing attitudes (2011, methodology): “…models that explain racism often take the form of mediation models in which social attitudes (like RWA) ‘transmit’ the effects of openness (e.g. Ekehammar et al., 2004; Van Hiel et al., 2007) and NFC (e.g. Cornelis & Van Hiel, 2006; Crowson et al., 2005; Van Hiel et al., 2004) on prejudice.”
• Authoritarianism, Threat, and Prejudice: An Analysis of Mediation and Moderation (2009, background): “Relatedly, authoritarians may be more gullible than nonauthoritarians in general due to differences in cognitive style (eg, a higher need for predictability; Cornelis & Van Hiel, 2006 ; see also Altemeyer, 1996 , for an analysis of cognitive correlates of RWA).”
• Ideological Asymmetries and the Essence of Political Psychology (2017, background): “…cognition were associated with economic (as well as social) conservatism and with ideological self-placement and issue-based conservatism as well as right-wing authoritarianism (e.g., Cornelis & Van Hiel, 2006; Crowson, 2009; Everett, 2013; Hennes, Nam, Stern, & Jost, 2012; Sterling et al., 2016).”
