    <<Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature
    about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of
    political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for
    inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to
    political conservatism include:

         * Fear and aggression
         * Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
         * Uncertainty avoidance
         * Need for cognitive closure
         * Terror management>>
