"There is by now evidence from a variety of laboratories around the world using a variety of methodological techniques leading to the virtually inescapable conclusion that the cognitive-motivational styles of leftists and rightists are quite different. This research consistently finds that conservatism is positively associated with heightened pessimistic concerns for order, structure, closure, certainty, consistency, simplicity, and familiarity, as well as existential concerns such as perceptions of danger, sensitivity to threat, and death anxiety" To me this fits perfectly into my own thoughts of what makes a conservative, First correlated studies show that the older you get the more like it is that your a regressive. These are my opinion on what this means, First it shows that you got old and gave up, it shows why it is the old white mans party, It shows that they can't be dragged into the century they live in. It shows that they have become paranoid and think negatively on most things, they are scared of change and are threatened by everything from gays , the poor, the Muslims, Mexicans, government, government workers , education, teachers, women. So they are all joined together in opposition to these groups. They have become bitter , old and paranoid and they have never been this ugly in my lifetime (70 years). They, the regressive party, used all these negatives to capture this group of people but created a monster that they can't control, Their hate rhetoric ended up having a mind of it's own , moved faster then they could even keep up to and become totally uncontrollable.

If it were close to being true.............. then why I am not a paranoid, pissed off, gay/tranny hating old bass-turd?

I prefer to look at the brighter side of things, and poke fun at people who are in this mostly fictional category that you pose, ..................as do most of my conservative friends.

Re: I believe this study on conservative but to go a little deeper But what does it

Let me kind of separate out the "wheat from the chaff" here, as it were, since after 1700 comments in these forums you don't seem to be progressive enough to have learned how to properly quote things.

The first half of this comment is a quote from a John T. Jost, et. al. paper titled, Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition, published in Psychological Bulletin back in 2003.

"There is by now evidence from a variety of laboratories around the world using a variety of methodological techniques leading to the virtually inescapable conclusion that the cognitive-motivational styles of leftists and rightists are quite different.

Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition

This paper is, itself, a meta analysis of hundreds of studies that have been done over the course of decades.

The remainder of the comment is your opinion:

I'd like to see what, in the Jost, et. al. paper, supports any of those conclusions.

I mean, you're certainly welcome to think any old harebrained thing you want and bandy it about as your opinion, but I get the impression here that you're at least trying to suggest that there's some empirical evidence to support that opinion so, again, please demonstrate how this paper, or the papers it studied, supports your position.

Also, I'm curious why you seem to think that, although the Republican Party in the United States has come to, derisively and not at all accurately, be called the "party of rich old white men" there weren't women (there were), non-whites (there were), foreigners (there were), government employees (there were), or any other demographic group you choose to single out as targets of "rich old white man" hatred actually included in the numerous surveys the Jost paper draws from?

Conservatives, both within the U.S. and without come in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, & cet.

This papers addressed the cognitive motivations for "conservative" ideology, not the causes of U.S. Republican Party ideology.

Do you think Nigerian conservatives are afraid of black people?

Do you think female European conservatives are afraid of women?

Do you think that the majority of the members of the U.S. armed forces, who predominantly identify as conservatives and Republicans are afraid of government employees?

All I have to say to respond is Donald Trump, That's who your party is.

Let me see , when you see a group that will destroy your country and you are willing to tell the people in your country of the threat ,that then makes you biased. Again I know who you are, Donald Trump, that's the password and proof.

The study supports what I believe, I told you the results of the study and my interpretation of the study, The last person that would realize they are evil are the evil. Don't have to look far in your party to realize that the party is trying to hold on by preaching hate, with attacks against everything they are scared of. The party is toast and they know it, so they are trying hard to take away the votes of groups who are populated mostly by democrats, Every conservative state has passed those types of laws. They no longer believe in our system of government because the long list of things that they make clear they hate , Are becoming the majority as we speak and won't forget that hatred. They can't support our Republic and continue as a party .They are toast simply by demographics. The expression of what I'm saying, especially now, is through the head of their party ,Donald Trump, who they own and deserve, they created him.

Probably worse, Satan, to my understanding, isn't trying to destroy this country to get his way. He knows that every type of government creates sinners so one is no different then the other.

Maybe it would not appear so, if you had written it differently. As it is, gee, what should I say?
 
Re: I believe this study on conservative but to go a little deeper But what does it

The party is toast and they know it, so they are trying hard to take away the votes of groups who are populated mostly by democrats, Every conservative state has passed those types of laws.

So...conservative states have passed laws which take the vote away from women, African America, government employees, and homosexuals?

Can you cite some examples of where this is happening?

They can't support our Republic and continue as a party .They are toast simply by demographics.

I don't know if I would call them "toast".

You realize, I hope, that you're talking about the people with most of the money and most of the guns.

If it's true that they no longer have any place in our political system, and their voice is drown out by a tyranny of the majority, as you seem propose it will and should be, I would be very concerned about what the outcome will be.

Look at what the solutions were in South Africa, Iraq, Syria, and other places when the elite class was the minority.

Minority rule is very much a possibility in the United States, though I don't necessarially know that we'd really be "the United States" if were ever to happen.

But the truth is, if we keep progressing along a progressive liberal line toward the kind of socialism that many liberals seem to advocate I don't really know if we'd be "the United States" in that direction either.

Well, I guess every empire comes to an end at some point, and I don't see why America should be any different.

It's going to be a very interesting next 100 years.

Of course you not knowing or having a clue what socialism is, makes it easy for the unknowing to charge that someone is a socialist. There is not one main tenant of socialism that we are even close to without twisted one of the tenants into knots to make it fit. Their are 36 states that have changed voting laws to restrict voters that vote for democrats, Without the smallest support for voter fraud Regressives have used as their number one tool, is voter registration."Less than two years ago a comprehensive investigation of over a billion votes cast since 2000 in every primary, general, special, recall and municipal election in the entire nation revealed that there were only 31 documented cases of voter fraud over the course of thirteen years and dog knows how many state, federal, and regional elections. If the number thirty-one seems awfully small for over a billion votes cast, look at it as a percentage of over a billion votes; a stunningly small 0.000000031% over the past thirteen years. And, according to the researchers compiling those figures, it is more likely than not “that any fraud was more as a result of errors than deliberate cheating.”" The regressives had a program years back to give the voter rights back to felons after they completed their total sentence , they thought it was just and fair to do that. Till they found out they vote for Democrats, so they are now taking those rights away again, student lean to the left, so regressive states are taking away the out of state student voting rights by saying they have to vote in their state they came from and with that they are taking away student Id's as identification for voting. In Regressive voting strongholds , they are putting in only regressive voter judges and councils and in Obvious democratic districts they are shorting staff to make for long lines to turn the voters away. That and shortening voter hours and time allotted are times that the regressive population has it easier to vote. They have shortened or tried to get rid of early voting. This is a national program that has been put together by regressives , some of the change in rules effect few but that few is always Democrats, The total list is very long but I've given you a few. This is all unpatriotic and against everything our forefathers believed and stood for. All aspects of this dying party's attempt to hold on as long as possible are evil, simply put they would gladly threaten the total collapse of this country on any issue that would keep them in power or just simply getting their way, They are America's number one enemy.
 
Re: I believe this study on conservative but to go a little deeper But what does it

Of course you not knowing or having a clue what socialism is, makes it easy for the unknowing to charge that someone is a socialist.

Of course my having one of my degrees in Political Science from a fairly liberal university ensures that I know what socialism is.

You'll note that I was discussing or economic and political systems "progressing along a progressive liberal line toward the kind of socialism that many liberals seem to advocate".

I didn't say that we were socialist, I said that many people, particularly many younger people, seem to want to take us there.

There is not one main tenant of socialism that we are even close to without twisted one of the tenants into knots to make it fit.

I think that becoming a social democracy of the type many people seem to advocate is the first step in getting there.

They may not be advocating for social control of the means of production, but they are certainly advocating for social control of the profit from the sale of the product.

Their are 36 states that have changed voting laws to restrict voters that vote for democrats, Without the smallest support for voter fraud Regressives have used as their number one tool, is voter registration."Less than two years ago a comprehensive investigation of over a billion votes cast since 2000 in every primary, general, special, recall and municipal election in the entire nation revealed that there were only 31 documented cases of voter fraud over the course of thirteen years and dog knows how many state, federal, and regional elections.

Oh, so people actually want voters to identify themselves and establish that they are legitimately authorized to vote in a particular polling place before doing so.

Boo hoo.

This is all unpatriotic and against everything our forefathers believed and stood for.

Our "forefathers" didn't allow African Americans to vote, you know, because they were actually property and not people.

Our "forefathers" didn't allow women to vote.

Our "forefathers" didn't allow non-property owners to vote.

Our "forefathers" employed literacy tests, poll taxes, and religious tests in determining who was allowed to vote.

Our "forefathers" did not allow for the direct voting in Senatorial campaigns.

If anything the accusations you're making signal a move back toward what it was that our "forefathers" envisioned when they originally conceived of elections in America.

All aspects of this dying party's attempt to hold on as long as possible are evil, simply put they would gladly threaten the total collapse of this country on any issue that would keep them in power or just simply getting their way, They are America's number one enemy.

I guess that really depends on what you mean by "enemy".

If you're an advocate for America continuing down the path of economic and social ruin that it appears to be on then sure, I guess anyone who attempted to stop you would certainly be an enemy.

LOL.

Are you aware the authors of the study included the following in their conclusions?


Finally, it is also important that subsequent research reflect a wide range of political ideologies and broadly representative samples so that it does not merely address the ideological life of college students (see Sears, 1986; Whitley & Lee, 2000). On one hand, political ideology probably has greater consistency and meaning for college-educated respondents; on the other, the ideological contents of political conservatism (and its opposites) may be different in a predominantly liberal environment such as a college campus compared with other contexts

I guess admitting their study is flawed, and the sample set not representative of the general population, is a sound basis to base your views upon.

So yes, not just biased much, but biased, PERIOD.

You a socialist if you join any group with the name social in it, Not! social control of the profits from the sales of the product , ya you bet, The countries national resources, all industry's, aren't owned by the government, There profit doesn't go to the government. The government doesn't tell them what to make, and the government doesn't set wages. The government doesn't advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole , There are a lot of governments that throw the word social in their name and conservatives go crazy over those commies, you do know they are hiding behind every corner don't you. One thing exists in all socialist forms , that is social ownership is the common element shared by all various forms . Which doesn't exist does it. Sorry buddy you flunked the socialism definition test.
There is one reason and one reason alone that voters are required to have voter ID, That is regressives found out that by doing so , they would pull democrats out of the voter lines. Just like all the other things I listed, Voter fraud in no way exist unless you think a hand full in billions of votes makes it so. You seem to have What this country conservitives want is ugly, as ugly as Trump, and as cruel and intolerant,

IT can say any dam thing it wants' , I said it supports what I believe and it hasn't changed a bit, I don't care if it was done on the Democratic convention floor. I think this study is 100% correct and proof of that is everything I've written in this political forum says that's what I believe.

Weren't you the guy I was debating who simultaneously insisted that Reagan was evil for providing Saddam with chemical weapons and that Saddam had never had chemical weapons or supported terrorists?

Yes, you'd expect there to be a big difference in the ideology of college students and that of the population in general, so this study isn't applicable to the general population.

Moreover, the analysis of the OP flies in the face of what we know: Of the posters in this thread who is it that is being the hateful, deluded paranoiac who seems to be very fearful of the new directions that the country might take politically? And he is no exception.

If Trump really were the monster they paint him to be then only a fool wouldn't be afraid of him. But liberals lie. Trump is concerned that terrorists are infiltrating the country with the refugees. A cell of 20 terrorists was just arrested in Europe. Most of them got in with the refugees. That concern doesn't make him a racist or anti-immigrant or hateful. Being against illegal immigrants, especially those who are violent criminals, does not make a person hateful or anti-Mexican or anti immigration. Wanting to see the immigration laws enforced does not make a person racist or hateful. But this is the nonsense Democrats are spouting. It's all just politics, of course, but they seem to believe their own BS. Ignoring these concerns doesn't make a person sophisticated. It makes him a fool.

One wonders how the OP could voice all these fears about a candidate's character and then ignore the flaws in the other candidate's character. Being an egomaniacal lying corrupt criminal and at the same time having the full support of the mainstream media, the bureaucracy, the entertainment industry, and academe means that Hillary could really do a lot of damage to the country without ever being called on it. Benghazi writ large, as it were.

If Trump really were the monster they paint him to be then only a fool wouldn't be afraid of him. But liberals lie. Trump is concerned that terrorists are infiltrating the country with the refugees. A cell of 20 terrorists was just arrested in Europe. Most of them got in with the refugees. That concern doesn't make him a racist or anti-immigrant or hateful. Being against illegal immigrants, especially those who are violent criminals, does not make a person hateful or anti-Mexican or anti immigration. Wanting to see the immigration laws enforced does not make a person racist or hateful. But this is the nonsense Democrats are spouting. It's all just politics, of course, but they seem to believe their own BS. Ignoring these concerns doesn't make a person sophisticated. It makes him a fool.

One wonders how the OP could voice all these fears about a candidate's character and then ignore the flaws in the other candidate's character. Being an egomaniacal lying corrupt criminal and at the same time having the full support of the mainstream media, the bureaucracy, the entertainment industry, and academe means that Hillary could really do a lot of damage to the country without ever being called on it. Benghazi writ large, as it were.

Yes, I expect there to be a big difference in the ideology of college students, versus the population at large. The OP has provided ample evidence of the cognitive dissonance of this sub-sample of the population.

Of interesting note is the authors of the deeply flawed study also point out the vast majority of studies of similar nature are all along the same lines. Liberals researching conservatives. They at least were honest enough to point out the lack of research into liberal thinking, which indicates a strong results bias.

"Such locations may prove useful in future studies of social and cognitive motives associated with political liberalism, which we would also encourage."​

It's sad to think taxpayers are funding these bogus studies.
 
Re: I believe this study on conservative but to go a little deeper But what does it

Weren't you the guy I was debating who simultaneously insisted that Reagan was evil for providing Saddam with chemical weapons and that Saddam had never had chemical weapons or supported terrorists?
Couldn't be because I never said Saddam never had chemical weapons. You right though that he never supported terorist, simply because that would be committing suicide because he and his country was a very liberal Muslim country. The terrorist would have killed him themselves if they had the chance. But there are stupid people out there that make up all kind of stupid stories.

Hey, if you want to stake your reputation and belief on a fraudulent, unsupported study, be my guest. There are names for people who do that. Congrats for earning the title.
Woopy ding, I just don't care what you think anyways. I respect and like to relate to people that have a ounce of intelligence, they other people are there for my pleasure and entertainment. I find them funny.

Fearful of the new direction when all you and your party offers is it's destruction of the country seems quite normal to totally appose, I find them to be the biggest threat to our country and the core belief. The party that has it's leader being a **** head like Trump. Can't ever be good for this country. Your hate bought this ****head , he's all yours you own him and deserve him, you and you party are him. That slime level hasn't been seen in ages.
