Confirmed: Conservatives understand liberal positions better than liberals under

[University of Virginia professor Jonathan] Haidt’s research asks individuals to answer questionnaires regarding their core moral beliefs—what sorts of values they consider sacred, which they would compromise on, and how much it would take to get them to make those compromises. By themselves, these exercises are interesting. (Try them online and see where you come out.)
 
But Haidt’s research went one step further, asking self-indentified conservatives to answer those questionnaires as if they were liberals and for liberals to do the opposite. What Haidt found is that conservatives understand liberals’ moral values better than liberals understand where conservatives are coming from. Worse yet, liberals don’t know what they don’t know; they don’t understand how limited their knowledge of conservative values is. If anyone is close-minded here it’s not conservatives.

Hey DUmmies, this is why we always laugh at you when you attempt to define what conservatives believe.  You're always so off-base that it's absurd, yet whenever we define what you believe, we're right on the mark.  Now there's a study that proves it.

Always nice to have research results confirm what we already know. Libs are emo simpletons with such traits as pathological lying, cognitive dissonance, hypocrisy, cowardice, narcissism, and sociopathy. It is a simple matter to figure them out.

I just completed the 1st part of the test, the Sacredness Scale, I got 8.0 across the board.

In Attitudes Against Political Parties I'm considered extremely polarizing LOL, and I'm not much for compromising.

Which proves, yet again, why so many moles were DU moderators/Jury members as opposed to them coming here.  It's hard for the insane to emulate the sane. If they could, they wouldn't be insane. :evillaugh:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

This comes as no surprise to any of us, ever since our old home and this site have been founded, we have been saying they have no clue of what we actually believe. One example is they seem to think that we want no taxes whatsoever, when the reality is we know taxes are necessary, we just want reasonable rates and the jerks in DC not to throw our tax money down the drain.

We see it every day.  That professor should join us and study the anthopology of it all.  Latest example is Cryano asking how it is possible that a woman could be Republican.  Their brains simply cannot grasp.  Seems easy enough to me.

Of course, we are smarter. The Leftists are cunning but not real intelligent. Most leftists can't do basic arithmetic without a calculator.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

They have the cunning of an underhanded ambush predator.
