There is a good TED talk along these lines: http://ted.org/index.php/talks/jonathan_haidt_on_the_moral_m...

I find the reasoning specious because self described "liberals" and "conservatives" mean all types of things when they describe themselves as such. The results of studies involving correlations between conservative or liberal ideology and other traits tells you more about differences in favorable word connotations than anything important about individuals.

The actual paper behind this talk is here: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/316/5827/998?ijke...

There is a decent body of research and references behind it.
