Enjoying what I'm hearing so far. Love social psychologists. What's interesting is that he said a liberal trait is being open to experience or traveling. For me, ironically, although deeply embedded in a conservative culture and latching on to the core parts of that culture, I always had that openness to experience and curiosity and desire to travel. I think part of this was nourished by the fact that my family had the resources to take us out of that "closed" culture from time-to-time. New Orleans, Disney, Washington, DC, Western Europe, Smokey Mountains, Atlanta (many times). Others rarely ever left. Liberals 2 - ones raised to be liberal - can be close-minded, and may not be able to travel to places or meet others where their preconceived notions may be challenged.
