    Default Science says liberals are psychotic, not conservatives as originally reported.

    Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

    A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

    The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.

    “The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed,” the journal said in the startling correction.

    “The descriptive analyses report that those higher in Eysenck’s psychoticism are more conservative, but they are actually more liberal; and where the original manuscript reports those higher in neuroticism and social desirability are more liberal, they are, in fact, more conservative.”

    In the paper, psychoticism is associated with traits such as tough-mindedness, risk-taking, sensation-seeking, impulsivity and authoritarianism.

    The social-desirability scale measures people’s tendency to answer questions in ways they believe would please researchers, even if it means overestimating their positive characteristics and underestimating negative ones.

    The erroneous report has been cited 45 times, according to Thomson Reuters Web of Science.

    Brad Verhulst, a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher and a co-author of the paper, said he was not sure who was to blame.

    “I don’t know where it happened. All I know is it happened,” he told Retraction Watch, a blog that tracks corrections in academic papers. “It’s our fault for not figuring it out before.”

    The journal said the error doesn’t change the main conclusions of the paper, which found that “personality traits do not cause people to develop political attitudes.”

    But professor Steven Ludeke of the University of Southern Denmark, who pointed out the errors, told Retraction Watch that they “matter quite a lot.”

    “The erroneous results represented some of the larger correlations between personality and politics ever reported; they were reported and interpreted, repeatedly, in the wrong direction,” he said.

    Take this whole mental illness ploy, and cram it back up your asses. It's an insult to those with real issues. I have known quite a few mentally ill people, that should be apologized to. Being a whiny simpleton, and claiming people with different opinions are mentally ill, is an abhorrence that should shame a person with any decency. Where's your decency?

    The way leaders are handled are pretty standard. If we're psychotic, what are the people fighting to overthrow leaders in other countries? And what are you when you tie down leaders, and blame them for every mishap in your lives. If there is mental illness, you might as well just call American politics a mental illness, as it's the same on both sides.

    Liberalism is a mental disorder. One need only see the JPP liberals post here for validation.

    You have psycho Deshtard
    OCD Jade who always needs a leg to hump like a desperate puppy.

    Then there is Guno,TTQ and BACasscancer the Race Hustler Musketeers

    I could go on but you get the gist

    The evidence is clear.

    No surprises here. Conservatives are anti-intellectual, run on fear, and can't cope with complexity.

    This forum bears that out.

    "Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College London found that self-described conservative students had a larger amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain that is active during states of fear and anxiety. Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity."

    "Most societies are divided into a party that wants change (the more liberal party) and one that is afraid of change (the conservatives). The liberal party is generally more intellectual and the conservative party is more anti-intellectual."
