Are reasoning styles politically stereotyped?
Abstract: An experiment with a representative U.S. sample found that when a counterpart in a conflict is described as using intellectual humility, perspective-taking, and integrative problem-solving (i.e., wise-reasoning), laypeople believe they are liberal (vs. conservative). When the counterpart is described as using non-wise reasoning, people tend to believe they are conservative.
