People with lower emotional intelligence are more likely to hold right-wing views, study finds

[NoNukes]

So you wilfully embrace commnism?

That makes you more stupid.

You obviously do not even know what Communism is.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

You obviously do not even know what Communism is.

This is a common parrot phrase by you leftist, and you keep parroting this phrase even AFTER we demonstrate that we know more about it than you.

Communism is an impossible form of stateless existence ("Utopia") where all property and means of production are held collectively and the use and distribution is democratically decided. NOWHERE EVER has communism existed. EVER. Why? Because there is no such thing as a stateless society. Too hard for humans to accept.

Generally, what we have seen is SOCIALISM, where the GOVERMENT owns everything and the few elites decide how it is used/distributed.

So, basically, you're all commies, but you are too stupid to know it will NEVER happen. You're living a pipe dream while simultaneously DESTROYING what does work.

Now, are you going to repeat that bullshit "don't know what communism is" parrot line you have been instructed to repeat?

I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I tell ya!

People with lower emotional intelligence are more likely to hold right-wing views, study finds​

New research from Belgium provides evidence that deficits in emotion understanding and emotion management are related to right-wing and prejudiced attitudes. The study has been published in the journal Emotion.

“I have a lifelong interest in political psychology and in political ideology in particular. The observation that left-wing and right-wing adherents tend to differ on so many psychological characteristics is amazing,” said study author Alain Van Hiel, a professor at the University of Ghent.

“Many scholars have investigated the cognitive basis of ideology in general, and right-wing ideological attitudes in particular. In the present study, we wanted to investigate if a similar relationship would exist for emotional abilities.”

In two studies, the researchers assessed the emotional abilities and political ideology of 983 Belgian undergraduate students. The second study also examined the participants’ cognitive ability. Emotional ability was measured with three tests: the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding, the Situational Test of Emotion Management, and the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test.

The researchers found that individuals with weaker emotional abilities — particularly emotional understanding and management — tended to score higher on a measure of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation.

Right-wing authoritarianism is a personality trait that describes the tendency to submit to political authority and be hostile towards other groups, while social dominance orientation is a measure of a person’s preference for inequality among social groups.

“The results of this study were univocal. People who endorse authority and strong leaders and who do not mind inequality — the two basic dimensions underlying right-wing political ideology — show lower levels of emotional abilities,” Van Hiel told PsyPost.

Those with lower emotional and cognitive abilities were also more likely to agree with blatantly prejudiced statements such as “The White race is superior to all other races.”

The researchers controlled for age, sex, and education level. But like all research, the study includes some limitations. The study only collected correlational data, preventing inferences of causality from being made.

The study, “The Relationship Between Emotional Abilities and Right-Wing and Prejudiced Attitudes“, was authored by Alain Van Hiel, Jonas De keersmaecker, Emma Onraet, Tessa Haesevoets, Arne Roets, and Johnny R. J. Fontaine.

Lefties are more likely to get indoctrinated into communism against their own best interests because they are really stupid, I find.

Define communism.

The government owns everything in Norway? I did not know that.

 

[JusticeHammer]

The stupid people are the ones who think we are indoctrinated into Communism.

The stupid people are the ones who don't realize they are indoctrinated into communism.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Define communism.

Jesus Christ, I mean, THE STATE..for you.

What point are you not making?

 

[Richard-H]

Right is emotion and left is intelligence?



You mean like safe spaces for those triggered by truth?

You mean like changing the definition of words that make one feel uncomfortable?

Come on, man!

Right wingers are driven by primitive instincts.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Gotta love people telling us how smart they are after electing a guy who barely knows where he is much less whats going on around him.

 

[john doe 101]

Jesus Christ, I mean, THE STATE..for you.

What point are you not making?

Just as I suspected. You cant define communism.

 

[Richard-H]

Hmmm... so how does that fit into the rioting we saw last summer in blue cities all over the nation?

Intelligent people can be driven to extremes.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

The government owns everything in Norway? I did not know that.

Norway is admittedly NOT a socialist country, you twat.

 

[Richard-H]

Ah! 'Communism' - that dirty, dirty word that you sling around like a dumb monkey slings their shit.....

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Just as I suspected. You cant define communism.

Already did, you illiterate twit.

I KNEW you would keep parroting that line. You are mindless. You are good for nothing but to repeat what your commie masters tell you.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Just as I suspected. You cant define communism.

Ok, Detective Joe.

You are funny.

When did they let you have access to the internet at St Elizabeth’s?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

See post #22, you illiterate douche.

I KNEW you would keep parroting that line. You are mindless. You are good for nothing but to repeat what your commie masters tell you.

I wasnt talking to you. You're losing it.....

 

[Tommy Tainant]

This is not the first study that comes to the conclusion that right wingers are lower down the food scale.

Right wing arguments are based , generally, on greed and cruelty and those vices translate very quickly into policies that appeal to those of lower intelligence.

Indeed, there is very little need for actual policies to placate the dribblers amongst us.

Maybe the left needs to simplify its policies to a level that righties can understand. If that is even possible.

The huge hole in the entire thesis is the definition of emotional intelligence with the totally asinine assumption that conservative values represent lack of intelligence. Of course that works well for pedophile's and perverts' who hate standard norms and would very much like to see everybody abandon them.
Here....this is easy....let me use some of the standard form talking points they are using...

Those with lower emotional and cognitive abilities were also more likely to agree with blatantly prejudiced statements such as : Being woke is a sign of emotional and intellectual intelligence that exposes conservatism as promotive and defunct, We who have progressed now fully understand the value of using young children as sex objects and identifying other humans with lesser IQ tendencies based on our opinions.
