Abstract
Given that conservative ideology is often conflated with preferences for the status-quo (Jost et al., [33]), status-quo bias meshes well with the notion that conservatives are more biased than liberals (Baron & Jost, [4]; cf. Further, there seem to be three plausible/popular "causal stories", only the first of which supports the elective affinities model: (1) needs/traits cause ideology, (2) ideology causes needs/traits, and (3) an upstream process causes both ideology and needs/traits (e.g., genes or environment). Phenomena at the nexus of ideology and psychology are typically viewed as complexly determined, implicating personality traits, cognitive styles and abilities, moral intuitions and cultural values, motivations for group belonging, social status and material resources, and an endless array of environmental trigger cues.
