TL;DR: This paper found evidence of both universal and context-specific effects in their analysis of the cognitive and motivational antecedents of left-right political orientation in 19 countries included in the European Social Survey (ESS) to assess two sets of hypotheses: (1) that traditionalism and acceptance of inequality would be positively associated with right (versus left) orientation, and (2) that rule-following (an aspect of the need for order), high need for security, and low need for openness to experience would be associated with left-wing orientation.
