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
Intolerance 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
