Study finds left-wing brain, right-wing brain

Even in humdrum nonpolitical decisions, liberals and conservatives literally think differently, researchers show.
By Denise Gellene, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
September 10, 2007
Exploring the neurobiology of politics, scientists have found that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work.

In a simple experiment reported todayin the journal Nature Neuroscience, scientists at New York University and UCLA show that political orientation is related to differences in how the brain processes information.


Previous psychological studies have found that conservatives tend to be more structured and persistent in their judgments whereas liberals are more open to new experiences. The latest study found those traits are not confined to political situations but also influence everyday decisions.

The results show "there are two cognitive styles -- a liberal style and a conservative style," said UCLA neurologist Dr. Marco Iacoboni, who was not connected to the latest research.

Participants were college students whose politics ranged from "very liberal" to "very conservative." They were instructed to tap a keyboard when an M appeared on a computer monitor and to refrain from tapping when they saw a W.<snip>

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. All of the above?

3. Because they were taught to respect money and power.

It's who you know not what you know.

[opihimoimoi]

5. Resulting in CRONYISM....

[and-justice-for-all]

7. because ignorance is bliss...

still catering to a base that finds the lack of "REASON, REALITY, COMMON SENSE, LOGIC, SANITY, TRUTH" comforting. If it was left up to them, we would be living in the dark ages, again.

10. I would guess its too EASY to REMAIN in the MOOT, MINUTIAE, REDUNDENT LEVEL

[JDPriestly]

8. Read The Authoritarians by Altemeyer

I have posted the link many times, so I'll let you google it. The whole book is free on the internet. It is very readable and answers your questions.

11. Thank you for the info...

12. It's because of religion.

If they dealt in reason, reality, common sense, logic, sanity and truth, it would become clear to them that everything they know is wrong. Their religion is based on lies, and to have that proven to be the non-sense that it is, would crush their worldviews. They would rather destroy the world and everything in it than to have their religious beliefs shown to be wrong...

[opihimoimoi]

15. Yup...so easy for US TO SEE...but to them....utter REJECTION of the ABOVE

Hence the 27% Hardcore....

[zbdent]

13. because it will make the Dems look weak on protecting the USA

despite the fact that Bush and company and the GOP want to bankrupt all but the truly elite few ...

and the ignorance of the masses is key to this ...

[opihimoimoi]

16. If the whole Nation goes bankrupt...how does it bode well for the rich?

The Masses will rebel and vote for solutions as did the French

[hootinholler]

23. So that means we'll have to invade Dubai?

Or Paraguay? That I can't raise any support for protest around here is discouraging. People look at me like a schizoid paranoiac.

28. The American People know when their being had....the shift is in the incipient stage with full

results coming in 08

[zbdent]

29. Actually, the rich should be content in the fact that

the liberals are the ones against the death penalty ... unlike all the so-called Christians who are for bombing, and pro-life until the first breath is taken outside the womb ...

[BridgeTheGap]

14. Greed and lust for power will trample all in it's path

UNLESS people are organized to respond. We're way too apathetic. Too many people don't get that politics is like taking out the trash. It's a nasty job but if it doesn't get done, it's starts stinking to high heaven. Right now this country is smelling pretty damn rotten!

[opihimoimoi]

17. Damn, ya got it on the money...sending beer and seaks

[bdamomma]

18. to answer your question, they are all sick fucks.

[opihimoimoi]

22. Really...they gatta be sick fucks....Deluded too

[Annces]

19. It seems to me

that in the world we live in, with war so easy, that we need to have the strictest control on being able to go to war. However as it stands, Bush can do whatever he wants. The inmates are running the prison. The children are running the school. The need to follow authority has lead us into total calamity.

[opihimoimoi]

24. The Price for an EMPIRE I guess.....

[BlooInBloo]

20. Like Menken said - he reflects the public.

[opihimoimoi]

25. The Public canardly answer what is 7 x 9 .......much less know whats going on...

[BlooInBloo]

27. Exactly.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. Because Those Ideals Oftentimes Stand In The Way Of Power.

One must remember that their priorities have different core principles than our priorities. If you objectively perceive what the ideal characteristics for power and greed are, you'd easily be able to realize that from that perspective those other ideals are quite secondary.

26. Win by LIE CHEAT STEAL is OK.....Damn....
