They’re a summarization of a lot of vibes from the Sequences.
Artistic choice, I assume. It doesn’t bear on the argument.
Yudkowsky explains all about the virtues in the Sequences. For studies, there are broad studies on cognitive science (especially relating to bias) but you’ll be hard-pressed to match them precisely to one virtue or another. Mostly, Yudkowsky’s opinions on these virtues are supported by academic literature, but I’m not aware of any work that showcases this clearly. For practical experience, you can look into the legacy of the Center For Applied Rationality (CFAR) which tried for years to do just that: train people to get better at life using rationality. Mostly, I was under the impression that they had medium success, but I haven’t looked deeply into it.
