According to
four studies (sample sizes 85, 38, 36, and 34), people give more allegedly right-wing answers to survey questions when they are less able to think. The only one that even came close to a decent size was also the one most subject to selection effects. (It found that drunker people in bars gave more right-wing answers. The lesson we might learn is that high-IQ conservatives don't go to bars.)
Maybe they should come back when they have real data.
Academic psychologists who want to prove that conservatives aren't so smart. Science in its purest form.
ReplyDeleteI thought they should have controlled for what bar they went to. It might make a difference, dude.
