Political Conservatism, Need for Cognitive Closure, and Intergroup Hostility (2010, background): “Conservatives tend to have rigid and persistent cognitive style (Crowson, 2008; Jost et al., 2003) and rely on cognitive heuristics such as conflict schemas in order to understand and choose behavior in all situations classified as conflicts.”
The “Antidemocratic Personality” Revisited: A Cross‐National Investigation of Working‐Class Authoritarianism (2008, background): “…States (or, more specifically, the midwestern United States) unique, as Frank (2004) had suggested, or does it fit a more general pattern, as a social–psychological analysis of responses to threat and uncertainty brought on by economic insecurity would lead one to expect (Jost et al., 2003a, b)?”
The end of the end of ideology. (2006, background): “Most treatments of political ideology have focused on the left–right (or, especially in the United States, the liberalism–conservatism) distinction (Jost et al., 2003a, 2003b; Knight, 1990).”

Nursery school personality and political orientation two decades later (2006, background): “Providing additional conceptual and informational support for the present Wndings, is the attractive recent review by Jost et al. (2003b).”
A Decade of System Justification Theory: Accumulated Evidence of Conscious and Unconscious Bolstering of the Status Quo (2004, background): “The image of intergroup relations that results is overly self-interested and insufficiently ideological; these two criticisms are not contradictory, because ideology is motivated by many factors in addition to self-interest (Jost et al., 2003a).”
Extreme Political Beliefs Predict Dogmatic Intolerance (2017, background): “Dogmatic intolerance was stronger at the political right than at the political left, which is consistent with previous theorizing (e.g., Jost et al., 2003b).”
