Or do the 3 additional moral foundations espoused by conservatives lead them to more counterfactual beliefs than liberals? What liberal beliefs correspond to denial of evolution and global warming, in terms of disregard for the weight of expert opinion, for example? My daughter's college Public Policy department is considering a survey of pundits to test this question. It will be tough to measure the results fairly, i think, but the concept is interesting.
