Conservatives and liberals do think differently
Research shows different ways of solving everyday problems linked to political ideology
IOW, both liberals and conservatives utilize the same sort of gradual, analytical process when solving problems, but liberals also use an intuitive process that conservatives don't.
IOW, conservatives are more limited than liberals in their problem-solving skills.
In other news, water is still wet. :chuckle:
Research shows different ways of solving everyday problems linked to political ideology
[P]eople who hold conservative versus liberal perspectives appear to differ in everyday thinking processes and problem solving, according to research from Northwestern University and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC).
When solving short (non-political) verbal problems in an experiment, liberals were more likely than conservatives to achieve solutions with a sudden insight or "Aha!" In contrast, both groups achieved roughly an equal number of solutions through gradual, analytical processing.
IOW, both liberals and conservatives utilize the same sort of gradual, analytical process when solving problems, but liberals also use an intuitive process that conservatives don't.
"Liberals tended more than conservatives to use insight to solve verbal problems in which you have to 'think outside the box,'" Salvi said.
IOW, conservatives are more limited than liberals in their problem-solving skills.
