Perceived Conflict and Leader Dominance: Individual and Contextual Factors Behind Preferences for Dominant Leaders (2017, result): “However, research finds that Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) can validly be measured in former communist countries and that its relationships with sociopolitical attitudes parallel results obtained in Western Europe (Duriez et al., 2005; Thorisdottir et al., 2007).”
Understanding the Determinants of Political Ideology: Implications of Structural Complexity (2014, positive): “…their argument is that opposition to change and acceptance of inequality reduce uncertainty and threat “insofar as preserving the [inegalitarian] status quo allows one to maintain what is familiar and known while rejecting the risky, uncertain prospect of social change” (Jost et al., 2007, p. 990).”
The “Antidemocratic Personality” Revisited: A Cross‐National Investigation of Working‐Class Authoritarianism (2008, background): “, 2003a, b)? These are precisely the sorts of questions that we have sought to address in this article and in parallel research programs (e.g., Jost, 2006; Jost et al., 2004, 2007; Thorisdottir et al., 2007).”
Shared Reality, System Justification, and the Relational Basis of Ideological Beliefs (2008, background): “There are reasons to expect that the motivation to establish and maintain shared reality may disproportionately lead to conservative, system-justifying outcomes, much as epistemic and existential motives do (e.g., Jost et al., 2003a, b, 2007; Jost, Fitzsimons, & Kay, 2004; see also Thorisdottir, Jo”
Reflective liberals and intuitive conservatives: A look at the Cognitive Reflection Test and ideology (2015, positive): “Speciﬁcally, much work has shown that political conser-vatism is associated with avoidance of uncertainty and preferences for hierarchy, rules, and structure (Federico, Golec & Dial, 2005; Golec & Federico, 2004; Jost et al. 2003; Jost et al., 2007).”
The Secret Lives of Liberals and Conservatives: Personality Profiles, Interaction Styles, and the Things They Leave Behind (2008, background): “self-control, orderliness, and mechanistic coor dination) parallel other accounts of liberal versus conservative personality styles, including Sylvan Tomkins' (1963) theory of ideological polarity.”
