Political contributions and analyst behavior (2015, unknown): “Among adults, the evidence from psychology suggests that conservative individuals are less likely to seek strong external stimulation (Wilson 1973), less open to unconventional views or experience (Jost and Thompson 2000; Peterson and Lane 2001), less likely to engage in sensation-seeking behavior (”
A quarter century of system justification theory: Questions, answers, criticisms, and societal applications (2018, background): “For members of advantaged groups, therefore, it appears that system justification is positively associated with self-esteem, ingroup favouritism, and psychological well-being (Jost & Thompson, 2000).”

On the ideology of hypodescent: Political conservatism predicts categorization of racially ambiguous faces as Black (2013, methodology): “…the influence of political ideology on racial categorization was mediated by opposition to equality—a component of Social Dominance Orientation that is more strongly linked to system justification (than group justification) motives (Ho et al., 2012; Jost & Thompson, 2000; Kugler et al., 2010).”
Empathy: a motivated account. (2014, background): “…face of economically disadvantaged targets, observers often endorse system-justifying ideologies such as “rags to riches” themes emphasizing individual control over their outcomes, or the belief that the poor are especially happy (Jost & Thompson, 2000; Napier, Mandisodza, Andersen, & Jost, 2006).”

The Politics of Fear: Is There an Ideological Asymmetry in Existential Motivation? (2017, background): “Jost and Thompson (2000) proposed that the relationship between conservatism and neuroticism should be negative for members of advantaged groups but positive for members of disadvantaged groups in society, insofar as the latter (but not the former) face conflicts between feeling good about…”
College Sophomores in the Laboratory Redux: Influences of a Narrow Data Base on Social Psychology's View of the Nature of Prejudice (2008, result): “These items showed poor reliability when scaled (Cronbach’s α = .49) and consequently were split into separate subscales consistent with the literature on similar measures of inequality support (Jost & Thompson, 2000; Sears, Henry, & Kosterman, 2000).”
Working for the System: Motivated Defense of Meritocratic Beliefs (2011, background): “By contrast, many other system-justifying beliefs (e.g., stereotypical ascriptions of laziness or incompetence to low-status groups) are more obviously psychologically costly for disadvantaged group members (e.g., Jost & Hunyady, 2002; Jost & Thompson, 2000).”
