Sam does read if the item in question goes against his ideological biases haven't you noticed?
I think that is a fundamental difference between those on the left and right wings. Those on the left at least can handle nuanced logic that requires thinking. http://psp.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/03/16/0146167212439213.abstract Low-Effort Thought Promotes Political Conservatism. Scott Eidelman, Christian S. Crandall, Jeffrey A. Goodman & John C. Blanchar (2012). Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin June 2012 vol. 38 no. 6, pp 808-820 Abstract The authors test the hypothesis that low-effort thought promotes political conservatism. In Study 1, alcohol intoxication was measured among bar patrons; as blood alcohol level increased, so did political conservatism (controlling for sex, education, and political identification). In Study 2, participants under cognitive load reported more conservative attitudes than their no-load counterparts. In Study 3, time pressure increased participantsÂ’ endorsement of conservative terms. In Study 4, participants considering political terms in a cursory manner endorsed conservative terms more than those asked to cogitate; an indicator of effortful thought (recognition memory) partially mediated the relationship between processing effort and conservatism. Together these data suggest that political conservatism may be a process consequence of low-effort thought; when effortful, deliberate thought is disengaged, endorsement of conservative ideology increases. btw you can get the full study here: http://2012election.procon.org/sourcefiles/low-effort-thought-promotes-political-conservatism-2012.pdf On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 2:53 PM, Maureen <mamamaur...@gmail.com> wrote: > > As usual, you aren't debunking, simply insulting.
