Study finds link between fear & Conservative v

Y.A.A.P. writes: NewScientist has an article about a study that links fear response and threat sensitivity with Conservative or Liberal views. The study found those who identified themselves as social Conservatives had a stronger response to fear stimuli and greater threat sensitivity. The article goes on to draw a stronger political connection, but I'll just note that this shows strong reasoning behind why fear-mongering has worked so well for Republicans in elections in the past few decades.
