[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 827887, member: 265"] Look again. This isn't what Scott said. What the study found is that drunks (God knoweth) tend to revert to simple thought process and those lead to more conservative opinions. Actually, there's a [I]ton[/I] of data that support this. It doesn't mean that all conservatives think simply, however; what it is saying is that people who put little effort into thinking tend to express conservative opinions. Here's the actual study: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.passfire.com/dotnetnuke/Portals/1/Users/206/06/206/Pers%20Soc%20Psychol%20Bull-%20Low-Effort%20Thought%20Promotes%20Political%20Conservatism.pdf[/URL] They recruited political centrists with low ideological commitments then subjected them to four different conditions involving inebriation, stress, time pressures, and direct instruction to think more simply or complexly. In each instance, the higher the level of condition, the higher the level of expression of conservative opinions. And, as the authors point out, that fits what we already knew pretty well. [/QUOTE]
