when conservatives, but not liberals, are instructed to use reappraisal techniques {e.g., "Try to view the images in a detached, unemotional way"}, they express less conservative political sentiments. In contrast, a suppression strategy {"Don't let your feelings show when you're looking at this image"} doesn't work. As we saw, make a liberal tired, hungry, rushed, distracted, or disgusted, and they become more conservative. Make a conservative more detached about something viscerally disturbing, and they become more liberal.46
