I found this interesting: Is the culturally polarizing effect of science literacy on climate change risk perceptions related to the "white male effect"? Does the answer tell us anything about the "asymmetry thesis"?! http://www.culturalcognition.net/blog/2013/3/28/is-the-culturally-polarizing-effect-of-science-literacy-on-c.html "2. The "white male effect" -- the observed tendency of white males to perceive risk to be lower -- is actually a "white male hierarch" effect. If you look at the blue lines, you can see they are more or less at This is consistent with prior CCP research that suggests that the "effect" is driven by culturally motivated reasoning: white male hierarch individualists have a cultural stake in perceiving environmental and technological risks to be low; egalitarian communitarians -- among whom there are no meaningful gender or race differences--have a stake in viewing such risks to be high." -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com A government which robs Peter to pay Paul, can always count on the support of Paul -- George Bernard Shaw ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
