Royal Society: Conservatives are slower-witted, more dogmatic and impulsive

I know, a shock, right? From the abstract of this new article in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Biological Sciences:

"Conservatism and nationalism were related to greater caution in perceptual decision-making tasks and to reduced strategic information processing, while dogmatism was associated with slower evidence accumulation and impulsive tendencies. Religiosity was implicated in heightened agreeableness and risk perception. Extreme pro-group attitudes, including violence endorsement against outgroups, were linked to poorer working memory, slower perceptual strategies, and tendencies towards impulsivity and sensation-seeking—reflecting overlaps with the psychological profiles of conservatism and dogmatism."

Good framing requires we boil stuff down into emotional, catchy words or bumper stickers. Repugnacons, and Twitler himself, have long known this. Hence my use of those terms, including "Twitiot," while derogatory, is also true and effective.
