Why conservatives are happier than liberals
I found this article thought you all would like it.
The exuberance displayed by Barack Obama’s supporters might make
Republicans look like geriatric chess enthusiasts, but a new survey
suggests that conservatives are happier than liberals - and offers one
reason why.
Liberals, claim New York University psychologists Jaime Napier and John Tost, have a tougher time rationalising social and economic inequality than conservatives.
The
recent surge in home foreclosures, for instance, is due to poor
economic choices on the part of borrowers, a conservative might think.
Liberals, on the other hand, seethe at predatory lenders and lax
government regulation of the mortgage industry.
The result: conservatives mix a martini and hit the country club, while liberals write angry letters and stage protests.
