As we have said for a long time....lefties can't debate, they emote...and now we have a study that proves our theory......
it also shows why they think about sex the way they do...they can't control themselves so they don't think others can as well.....probably why they like bill clinton with his history of violent rape...they just figure he can't control himself so raping women is not his fault....
Blog Researchers discover conservatives tend to have better self-control than liberals
In a paper published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers say there is a link between political ideology and the ability to exert self-control.
In a series of three studies with more than 300 participants, the authors found that people who identify as conservative perform better on tests of self-control than those who identify as liberal regardless of race, socioeconomic status and gender.
According to the findings, if you don’t believe much in the concept of free will and personal responsibility for outcomes, it turns out you are less apt to exercise self-control. Not exactly a shock, except perhaps to liberals.
"Conservatives tend to believe they had a greater control over their outcomes, and that was predicting how they did on the test," said Joshua Clarkson, a consumer psychologist at the University of Cincinnati and the lead author of the paper.
The actual test for self-control was something called the Stroop Test, which:
... asks participants to look at a list of color words such as "red" or "blue" that are printed in mismatching color fonts. (Picture the word "orange" printed in green letters.) Volunteers were asked to read the words, ignoring the color of the font, which can be challenging.
"If you see the word 'red' in blue type your mind wants to say 'blue' right away, but you have to suppress that," Clarkson said. "That's why it is a strong indicator of self regulation."
