Researchers show that liberals and conservatives approach everyday decisions differently.

You're correct. One user downmodded every comment on this thread. Maybe I'll add protections against that. In the meantime I upmodded them all myself.

Thanks; it's appreciated. And yes, I think protection against that kind of thing would be useful (but it's sad that it's necessary even here).

I thought this is politics without even reading the article and was so angry I downmodded all 3 or 4 comments that were here. Sorry about that. I just don't want HN to be another reddit.

It may have been posted as a political link, but the methodology was so flawed that it became interesting anyway. :)

As for my interest: I quit a psych degree after a year because the teaching of experimental psychology convinced me that it isn't a serious science. Experiments like this are sadly not uncommon - experimenters decide what they want to quantify, but then measure whatever they can, no matter how tenuous the link between the two.

I upmodded you, mojuba. Divided America is stupid - it is tragic.
