"Wait--You're a conservative?" Political diversity and the dilemma of disclosure

Behav Brain Sci. 2015:38:e142. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X14001198.

Abstract

Many of the proposed recommendations for remedying the harmful effects of political homogeneity for psychology depend upon conservatives disclosing their political identity. Yet how likely is this, when disclosure is so harmful to the individual? Considering this issue as a social dilemma clarifies the pernicious nature of the problem, as well as suggesting how the dilemma can be resolved.
