Do you have a guess as to which direction the correlation might be in? Either direction seems fairly plausible to me, at first glance.
I was thinking that EAs sympathetic to obligatory altruism would like it more, given the book’s focus on people who appear to have a strong sense of duty and seem willing to make great personal sacrifices.
(Yeah, that seems plausible, though FWIW I’d guess my own mindset is more on the “obligatory” side than is average.)
