Oikeistolaisen politiikan kulmakiviä tuntuu olevan, että sanotaan yhtä ja tehdään toista samalla, kun ehkä ajatellaankin vielä jotain muuta.

• The impact of dark tetrad traits on political orientation and extremism: an analysis in the course of a presidential election

In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.

• Bad News for Conservatives? Moral Judgments and the Dark Triad Personality Traits: A Correlational Study

We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments
