@marshallk That’s consistent with the observed linkage of self-identified ‘conservatism’ — religious, political, cultural, (economic, though I don’t believe I’ve seen as much recent research surface in general media) with more dogmatism in attitude, perception, behavior (cognition…).Permalink On twitter.com
