Here are some random studies I found interesting, unrelated to any argument I wanted to make or any more coherent piece I wanted to write. Most of them are from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, which is my favourite journal to browse. I find an interesting paper every time I read it. Enjoy.
What do you want to know specifically? All I really did was create a card with the author, year and the publication on one side and the main finding of the paper on the other, and added any papers I thought were particularly interesting. Most Anki power users would probably be able to come up with a more efficient way to do it, but my simple decks work for me.
Assume a world in which Haidt is correct: there are five moral pillars (harm, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity). Left leaning people emphasize harm and fairness. Right leaning people care about all five.
Consider two cases:
(1) Society has all political and social institutions dominated by the right.
This state is unstable. Left leaning people will push for change.
(2) Society has all political and social institutions dominated by the left.
This state is stable. Right leaning people are constrained by their respect for authority and loyalty, and will not aggressively push for change.
The thought experiment implies that institutional capture by the opposition is more a problem for the right than the left. I did not read Haidt’s book. Perhaps he already thought this.
Also, please note that I am not arguing that the African American community is in state #2. Nor do I mention Ceaser’s avarice.
That’s probably enough. I was wondering if you tried to write questions based on the papers. I’ve tried that but it takes a ton of time (for me at least)
It’s ok, I get the idea. As with all these things the likely reason I don’t have nice decks is I’m not motivated to create them, rather than because I need some better system to do so haha
Participants were asked to rate themselves on the question “How conservative are you politically?”, with a scale from 0 (very liberal) to 100 (very conservative).
Please could you write something on how you create the Anki deck you mention toward the end?

I can link you to the deck if you want to check out exactly what it looks like, although I'm not sure exactly how you share the decks.

I think it's good enough to lead to us updating on our views as to whether the correlation holds among black Americans in this instance.
Thanks!
