U.C. Berkeley psychologists identify causes of conservatism In "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition", four researchers at Berkeley identified the following psychological causes of political conservatism:
  • Fear and aggression
  • Dogmatism and intolerance of ambiguity
  • Uncertainty avoidance
  • Need for cognitive closure
  • Terror management
It is unclear if the Berkeley psychologists intend to blame society or conservatives' parents. I have not been to the Heritage Foundation Website yet to see if they have a list of causes of liberalism.
