Hot Politics Lab member Bert Bakker was recently featured in Amsterdam’s local newspaper Het Parool where he was interviewed about the connection between political ideology and threat sensitivity, and the importance of replication studies. The featured research is joint work with lab member Gijs Schumacher and co-authords Claire Gothreau and Kevin Arceneaux. In their recent publication they find no evidence that conservatives are more sensitive to threat compared to liberals.
