Citations in the corpus
- The person-based nature of prejudice: Individual difference predictors of intergroup negativity (2015, background): “….20 and .40 for NFC with right-wing attitudes (Jost et al., 2003; Van Hiel & Crowson, in press), a negative association of −.30 for cognitive ability (IQ) with authoritarianism (Onraet et al., 2015), and a negative association of −.24 between IQ and religiosity (Zuckerman, Silberman, & Hall, 2013).”
- Ideological Asymmetries and the Essence of Political Psychology (2017, background): “Additional studies, which we have not systematically reviewed, demonstrate that liberals and conservatives differ when it comes to objective measures of cognitive ability and intelligence (Deary, Batty, & Gale, 2008; Heaven, Ciarrochi, & Leeson, 2011; Hodson & Busseri, 2012; Ludeke, Rasmussen, & DeY”
- Liberals and conservatives are similarly motivated to avoid exposure to one another's opinions (2017, background): “These new findings stop short of suggesting that liberals and conservatives are psychologically equivalent in every respect; a recent meta-analysis suggests otherwise (Onraet et al., 2015).”
- The role of cognitive rigidity in political ideologies: theory, evidence, and future directions (2020, background): “Researchers have considered the role of intuitive versus analytical cognitive style [40,41], cognitive sophistication [42], cognitive simplicity and complexity [43,44,45 ,60]), cognitive ability [46,47], emotional abilities [61], logical reasoning [48], cognitive control [49–51], metacognition [52],”
- Cognitive ability and authoritarianism: Understanding support for Trump and Clinton (2017, methodology): “Indeed, the connection between lower cognitive ability and higher RWA is arguably robust (Onraet et al., 2015).”
