" People low in need for cognition are also more likely to rely on stereotypes alone in judging other people than those high in need for cognition."
You know, I could believe that, but I can't help wondering if the people who do research in psychology (or most people in academia really) are not more likely to be high-NFC types, and thus not exactly objective in deciding what potential advantages/disadvantages to research. For example, who is less likely to be swayed by empirical evidence?
