PFC vs FFFF
# Perceiving the world as divided to bad and good, or more schematic.
# Impulsive reaction will inhibit the usage of [[system 2]].
# may resort more to group defense and to look for strong leadership.
On the other hand, while not in FFFF mode (the [[PFC]] mode), people will tend to be more:
# Perceiving the world as more subtle
# Less inhibition on activation of [[system 2]].
#Less need for group defense and strong leadership.
 
===Implantations on Deliberation===
When in [[FFFF]] mode, participants will have trouble deliberating from the next several reasons:
#When in FFFF, participants tend to look for strong theories, that they can rely upon. They will look for the most simple solutions, and therefore will resist more subtle and complex descriptions of the situation.
# They are not in an [[Explorers and Doers|exploring]] mode, and therefore will resist attempts to explore other solutions and perceptions.
#They are working toward group consolidation, within their ethnic or other reliable group, and may see the other group as a threat. They will judge the other group proposed information as deceiving.
# They will judge leaders by their "strength" that is reviled by the leader's rhetoric.
# As a result, It seems that conservatives tend to less participate in deliberation<ref>[http://www.delib-democracy.org/2014/05/29/do-conservatives-tend-to-avoid-deliberation/ Tal Yaron, 2014, Do conservatives tend to avoid deliberation?, The deliberative democracy insetute blog]</ref>.
