 for example, there's the 2014 study [http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(14)01213-5 Nonpolitical Images Evoke Neural Predictors of Political Ideology] published in Cell-Current Biology. To quote the researchers, "This is the first fMRI study revealing multivariate patterns of brain activity that differ between liberals and conservatives during emotional processing of sensory stimuli. A single disgusting image was sufficient to predict each subject's political orientation" with 94% accuracy, Montague told Cell Press. I haven't seen such clean predictive results in any other functional imaging experiments in our lab or others."
-in other words, apparent 'conscious' and 'deliberative' decision about political ideology are connected strongly to very primitive parts of the brain involved in aversion or fear responses.

 as mentioned in another blog post, in my product development management consulting work, i observe managers have widely differing ability to accept the inherent high level uncertainty and variability of research and development product creation. some really want R&D to be "predictable manufacturing" and have ''psychological'' discomfort with a domain of uncertainty that requires feedback loops, learning, and revision of prior information (estimates, requirements, ...). perhaps there is a correlation to this research.
