StephenTheNerd commented on the word cognitive-politics
Cognitive politics is the effect of psychological factors on partisan identity. This is in contrast to economic, social or religious reasons. For example, someone could be a social-conservative, fiscal-liberal, or cognitive-conservative. It is a subset of the broader field of political psychology, but specifically related to partisan identity.
