Over the last few years, we've seen increasing dissent among liberals
and conservatives on important issues such as gun control, health care
and same-sex marriage. Both sides often have a difficult time
reconciling their own views with their opposition, and many times it
appears that liberals are unable to band together under a unifying
platform. Why do conservatives appear to have an affinity for obeying
leadership? And why do conservatives perceive greater consensus among
politically like-minded others? Two studies publishing in
Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shed light on these questions.
