Huge thanks to collaborators Joan Ongchoco, Michael Bronstein, and Brian Scholl as well as my mentor Ty Cannon for their contributions to this paper, which has been in the works for longer than my memory would have me believe :)

This work suggests that those who have more uncanny subjective experiences may uniquely struggle to remember *what happened when*, highlighting how breakdowns in associative/temporal memory might be connected to psychosis-like symptoms.

And finally, big congrats to Honor Thompson on her first co-first author publication! She put in lots of hard work on this thesis project and it's gratifying to see it get over the finish line.

So while we show sig. associations between these constructs, we can't say exactly *why* this is the case in this data. And, as always, people are multi-faceted and don't fit cleanly into boxes based on their politics, identities, etc.

Some important caveats: small sample (N=300), cross-sectional survey design (i.e., causality/directionality unclear), sig. variability within relationships (e.g., not every conservative-leaning person was concerned w/ status threat, etc.).

We take this as more evidence that those higher in positive sx are especially likely to misattribute signal to noise stimuli - and briefly speculate on neural processes that may underlie this bias (e.g., E/I imbalance in hippocampus)
