Theory and research in social, evolutionary, political psychology indicates that subjective feelings of threat exposure to objectively threatening circumstances—including pandemic diseases—may contribute increased affinities for conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism, prejudice against out-group members.

We conceptualize and measure right-wing populism (RWP) as a three-dimensional concept, explicitly implicitly, based on online surveys implicit association tests (IATs) in Germany Switzerland. Confirmatory factor analyses show that explicit populism, nativism, authoritarianism establish the latent RWP-construct they are each related to their respective counterpart. However, RWP ideology does not...

Processes through which parental ideology is transmitted to children-especially at a young age prior to the formation of political beliefs-remain poorly understood. Given recent evidence that political ideology is associated with neural responses to cognitive conflict in adults, we tested the exploratory hypothesis that children's neurocognitive responses to conflict may also differ depending o...

However, several important que...

Mates appear to assort on political attitudes more than any other social, behavioral, or physical trait, besides religion. Yet the process by which ideologically similar mates end up together remains ambiguous. Mates do not appear to consciously select one another based on ideology, nor does similarity result from convergence. Recently, several lines of inquiry have converged on the finding tha...

Theories suggest that political ideology relates to cooperation, with conservatives being more likely to pursue selfish outcomes, and liberals more likely to pursue egalitarian outcomes. In study 1, we examine how political ideology and political party affiliation (Republican vs. Democrat) predict cooperation with a partner who self-identifies as Republican or Democrat in two samples before (n ...
