Politically conservative individuals exhibited decreased strategic information gathering, increased caution of response in perceptual decision-making paradigms, and demonstrated an aversion to social risk-taking.

Participants with liberal convictions, on the other hand, were more likely to follow quicker and less reliable perceptual techniques, showing less caution in cognitive tasks.

Similar to the conservative community, individuals with religious beliefs reflected increased caution and decreased processing of strategic information in the cognitive domain, along with increased agreeability, perception of danger, and aversion to social risk-taking.

Without diving more deeply (lol no link to the actual studies), I expect them to have absolutely nothing coherent for their definitions of “conservative”, “liberal”, and “religious”. Probably “radical” too.

What they mean is, people who score far from the center on some bullshit political compass test they came up with do so in common ways. And like, no shit? Your test sorts people by how they think, it’s not breaking news that how they think is different. Actual begging the question.
