Leftist and rightists both updated their beliefs on political and non-political issues in the face of counter-evidence to the same degree.

Individual differences in threat sensitivity also did not play a role.

People like political ingroups more than outgroups around the world

This gap is widened when people share belief system *structure* and narrowed when they share belief system *content*

Liberals and conservative use similar moral words, but they attach different meanings to those words

Maybe seems obvious, but suggests that moral politics is a competition over *meaning* and not promoting specific values

It also has implications for how we think about and use (or don't use) dictionary methods for understanding morality in text and speech.

It's ok if you're different from your partner

Similarity in personality does not predict life or relationship satisfaction of partners.

Is affective polarization party specific, or do people make distinctions between political camps in multi-party systems?

New work shows camps matter: "affect is most polarized between Left and Right camps, and between the Radical Right and other camps"

Americans estimate, often inaccurately, that society has made linear progress on social issues

This belief is correlated with the belief that people are getting more politically liberal and that government regulation is increasing over time

A new paper suggests that the reason poverty is related to support for authoritarianism is because of feelings of shame/exclusion experienced when in poverty

Although shame does seem to be a robust predictor, as far as I can tell, they never find that poverty is associated with authoritarianism in their own data?

The cross-lagged panel model "is very likely to find spurious cross-lagged effects when they don’t exist, while also underestimating them when they do." ...

"Given these concerns, it would seem prudent to abandon the use of the CLPM for causal analysis of longitudinal data"

Disgust is associated with harsher moral judgments (r = .2ish), but the association is stronger for...

-sexual disgust (~.25) vs pathogen disgust (~.18)

-sanctity moral judgments (~.3) vs other domains (~.2 or less) of moral judgments

People believe politically aligned terrorism is motivated less by the internal characteristics of the terrorists (e.g., hate, evil) and more by external factors (e.g., injustice, oppression)
