From figure 3b conservatives differ more from the acrophilic model, i.e. are less drawn to extremes than liberals (in the American sense which is totally different from how everybody else would define the term). This result is not new. Other studies have shown that conservatives may hold strong opinions but are far more open towards others believing differently and much less prepared to shun and ostracism them altogether than liberals are.
