I'm so glad that I found your channel! I research Evangelicalism and religious trauma so a lot of what you spoke about in this video is right up my ally!
Thank you so much! That sounds like a fascinating area of research. May I ask what have been your most interesting findings concerning religious trauma and Evangelicalism? I'd love to learn more about them!
A good job here Pat. If you want to have an online discussion. I can chat about authoritarianism, working on a paper with a couple of professors. I am a social/org/political psychologist. Another topic, relevant at the moment is anti climate science denial. You structured this well. Ans yes, I am a big fan of Zmigrod et al. from Brexit onwards. I did not realise she was so young. I must be getting old. ha.
I can talk to about Jost et al...various years.
Well done. Ill find u on linkedin or twitter.
Hi Denis! Thank you so much for your detailed and informed comments. Clearly you are close to the literature. I'm very curious to learn more about the paper you and your colleagues are working on, it sounds very interesting.
Absolutely, I'd love to hear from you! You can find me on Twitter @patspsychmsc and you can also find me on LinkedIn. I'd be delighted to connect with you.
Ok, here is what Zimigrod could have elaborated on, cognitive rigidity has been looked at since Freud. (anal personality), then Adorno et al. 1950, when investigating authoritarian followers and fascism. They noted that religious, right wing people, tended to have rigid ideas. Rokeach in the 1960s, 68 came up with the name cognitive ridigidy. So it was a known concept. But not much came of it. Kruglanski in the 80s 90s 00s developed a concept called need for closure, where people wanted an answer to a question, any answer, rather than not knowing. These people tended to fix on the first explanation they liked, and that is it. Again, this is linked more so with right wing views and conspiracy thinking, and authoritarian followership, and prejudice. All of these are related to prejudice (Jost et al. 2017).
Zmigrod and her team are very good on the cognitive side, and neuro science. And they did alot of heavy cognitive tests, that were well thought out. The design was very good. You are right to identify this as an important paper. It is. Her Brexit paper was important, as was Swami & Furnham 2018.
You did a nice Job here. Not easy to pitch it for the interested viewer. See you around and on here. Denis Daly.
