Abstract
The present study investigated the relationship between political orientation and perception of bodily arousal and valence in the experience of emotion. Results indicated that conservatism is associated with arousal in sadness and valence in guilt. Liberalism was significantly related to arousal in guilt and the frequency of anger.
