过去三十年的研究表明，经验开放性--一种对新奇、创造力、非传统主义和开放思想感兴趣的人格特质--与政治保守主义呈负相关。在这里，我们通过对232个独特的样本（N = 575，691）进行元分析来总结这一庞大的文献，这些样本研究了大五和保守主义之间的关系。结果显示，经验开放性与保守主义之间的负相关几乎是人格与意识形态之间第二强相关性的两倍（即尽责性和保守主义; rs分别为-0.145和0.076）。然而，在非WEIRD（西方、受过教育、工业化、富裕和民主）国家，性格特征和保守主义之间的关联要小得多。最后，我们回顾最近的纵向工作表明，开放性的经验和保守主义是非因果关系。总的来说，我们的章节表明，对经验的开放性是迄今为止保守主义最强的（负）相关，但几乎没有证据表明这种关联是因果关系。
Research over the last three decades reveals that Openness to Experience—a personality trait that captures interest in novelty, creativity, unconventionalism, and open-mindedness—correlates negatively with political conservatism. Here, we summarise this vast literature by meta-analysing 232 unique samples (N = 575,691) that examine the relationship between the Big Five and conservatism. Results reveal that the negative relationship between Openness to Experience and conservatism is nearly twice as big as the next strongest correlation between personality and ideology (namely, Conscientiousness and conservatism; rs = −.145 and .076, respectively). The associations between traits and conservatism were, however, substantively smaller in non-WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) countries. We conclude by reviewing recent longitudinal work demonstrating that Openness to Experience and conservatism are non-causally related. Collectively, our chapter shows that Openness to Experience is by far the strongest (negative) correlate of conservatism, but that there is little evidence to suggest that this association is causal.
