• Resumen

  • The article discusses research on the psychology of liberal and conservative thought and the basis for the differences in each. The author provides examples of stereotypes attributed by each group by the opposing group and cites a report by scientist Jonathan Haidt and colleagues explaining why morality varies across cultures despite the many similarities. Also presented are Haidt's proposal of the five innate psychological systems governing a sense of right and wrong, such as ingroup/loyalty.
