Eysenck formalized this as Psychoticism (not related to psychosis) & observed that Tender-Minded people in the 1930s were more religious, more likely to be vegetarians & nonsmokers, & less likely to be fascists or communists. Ie more personal-purity morality, less bullet-biting.

"Less bullet biting" I like this way of putting it. Though I wonder if the psychological basis for vegetarianism has changed since then; today it strikes me (at least in its more moralizing forms) as very much a bullet-biting philosophy.
