according to this fella and his studies. He does say this though - "Dr. Hodson explained the findings do not mean all liberals are smart and all conservatives are stupid, “There are multiple examples of very bright conservatives and not-so-bright liberals, and many examples of very principled conservatives and very intolerant liberals,” he said." but after he has reported the rest in the full article "Researchers have found a possible explanation for why certain people are prejudiced: they’re less intelligent. Children with lower general intelligence are more likely to become prejudiced as adults, according to a Brock University study. The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, examined data from two large-scale British studies, and found lower intelligence scores in childhood were predictors of greater racism in adulthood, which the researchers controversially explain is brought about by adopting right-wing ideologies. A secondary analysis of data from a U.S. study also showed those with poor abstract-reasoning skills were more likely to have anti-homosexual prejudice, partially linked to authoritarian attitudes. Lead researcher Gordon Hodson told LiveScience that the results of the study indicate a vicious cycle, in which people with low intelligence are drawn to socially conservative ideologies. In turn, those ideologies can contribute to prejudices. “Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order,” he said, explaining why those with lower intelligence may gravitate toward the right. “Unfortunately, many of these features can contribute to prejudice.” The researchers found that people with lower intelligence also tended to have less contact with other races and groups, which, Dr. Hodson said, supports previous research that determined interacting with other groups is mentally challenging and cognitively draining."

Someone actually paid for this s***?

You only have to read steeleye's posts to see that the lefties on here are intellectual powerhouses.

I don't generally agree with this. I think there are however a lot of people who emotively embrace right wing ideals because they're not interested in pragmatic solutions, and rather take a moral stance and can come across as being less intelligent, because they're not interested in the complicated nuances involved in the arguement

The study is intriguing if not a wee bit mischievous on my part. There are a few whip-smart right-wingers on here indubitably which makes any hyperbole and irrationality from them when the theme is 'foreigners' and 'other cultures' all the more interesting.

Not really. It got someone some funding. People will have attitudes that reflect their circumstances and favour their own interests. Those who are less well off or feel mistreated by society will tend to blame others. Those who are doing well will tend to see the environment as favorable. We are all guilty.
