dc.description.abstractUnderstanding the psychological mechanisms underlying extremist personality helps explain why some individuals endorse rigid or polarized positions. Extremist personality is conceptualized as a self-regulatory tendency characterized by motivational imbalance, cognitive inflexibility, and strong commitment to salient goals.
