conservatives and liberals
It seems that conservatives are less into deliberation than liberals. But when in deliberation conservative and liberals are also different in their views. This differentiation makes the negotiation between liberals and conservatives very hard. According to Heidt conservatives will seek authority, while liberals will avoid authority. Conservative prefers obedience while liberals will prefer complex discussion. This and other differences make deliberation between the parties challenging.
Tendney toward and against deliberation
Research to date has largely explored how participation is associated with individual-level factors (e.g., demographic factors such as race and psychographic factors such as the need for cognition) (Goidel, Freeman, Procopio, & Zewe, 2008; Jacobs, Cook, & Delli Carpini, 2009; Neblo, Esterling, Kennedy, Lazer, & Sokhey, 2010).

Effects of perceptions of the environment on decision making
We humans are influenced by the perception of our surrounding. in situations which we perceive as dangerous, we will react with the FFFF system, while in situations that seems calm and safe we will react with PFC. Each of us perceives our surroundings differently. The more fearful will be more conservatives, while the more relaxed will be more liberal in the same situation.
