Negativity bias explains many ideological differences, yet does not explain research such as conservatives' greater life satisfaction. Conservatives live in safer communities, perhaps to escape negative emotions, yet display numerous other community preferences unrelated to negativity. This tendency toward cognitive consistency can explain both these phenomena and many of the phenomena described in the target article.
负面偏差可以解释许多意识形态差异,但无法解释保守派生活满意度更高等研究现象。保守派生活在更安全的社区,可能是为了逃避负面情绪,但他们也表现出许多与负面情绪无关的其他社区偏好。这种认知一致性的倾向可以解释这两种现象,以及目标文章中描述的许多现象。
