Conservatives you mean, as one study (of about 5 I've found so far) concluded: "...political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases."
from: Low-Effort Thought Promotes Political Conservatism Scott Eidelman, Christian S. Crandall, Jeffrey A. Goodman and John C. Blanchar Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, June 2012 vol. 38 no. 6 808-820 http://psp.sagepub.com/content/38/6/808 Abstract The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism. In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism (controlling for sex, education, and political identification). In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts. In Study 3, time pressure increased participantsâ endorsement of conservative terms. In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism. Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases. ------------------------ On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 9:38 AM, Sam <[email protected]> wrote: > > I hope he wins just to expose the party of the low information voters :) > > . > > > On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 2:04 AM, Jerry Milo Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> http://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2014/06/02/az-republican-scott-fistler-changes-name-to-cesar-chavez-party-to-democrat-for-new-congressional-bid/ >> >> He also is using photos of rallies for Cesar Chavez and Hugo Chavez as his >> own >> >> I understand cynicism in politics, but this guy should be tarred and >> feathered. >> >> > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:370703 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
