The uncertainty inherent in life is felt as a continuous threat that must be fought
Higher stress, emotionality, anxiety, neuroticism
Lower scores on subjective health and well-being
intoleranos of deviant persons and ideas: what is different is dangerous
Need for clarity and structure
Teachers supposed to have all the answers
Staying in jobs even if disliked
Emotional need for rules-even if not obeyed
In politics, citizens feel and are seen as incompetent towards authorities
in religion, philosophy and science: belief in ultimate truths and grand theories
