Abstract
A negative correlation between Openness to Experience and conservatism is documented in numerous studies. However, studies differ on this correlation, with some indicating a positive moderation via education and political sophistication. Therefore, the current study aims to replicate previous findings suggesting education and political sophistication moderate this relationship.
