RE: Libertarian Morality: Psychological Profile (Study 1)
Good subject, there isn't that much work done on the psychology of "libertarians".
They do tend to be more individualist in temperament than others, I think this is a key distinction. As far as a uniquely rooted characteristic it seems to be a general dislike of responsibility. Altruism, nationalism, and other collectivist modes of thinking require a certain subservience to a group or ideology which many libertarian minded folks try to distance themselves from. Hence many(at least started out like that) in the cryptosphere.
I am no expert in the field but it seems that not much is done on the psychology of Libertarians since they do not fall in the visible political spectrum. But the results of the research done in in sync with what we intuitively think of Libertarians.
