Looking forward to reading this one!! Cognitive Inflexibility Predicts Extremist Attitudes - https://goo.gl/scholar/am78c8 #cogflex @LeorZmigrod
Very interesting! One could, however, play devil’s advocate regarding the empirical status of such claims. As Jan Smedslund would say, ‘cognitive inflexibility’ is logically implied in the concept of ‘extremism’. We don’t need data to confirm that ‘up’ isn’t ‘down’.

Interesting! In the paper we actually show how behavioural measures of cognitive inflexibility from the neuropsychological literature predict tendencies towards extremist attitudes, so using a non-ideological measure to hopefully show something new & valuable :)
