Studies suggest that conservatives are more often distressed by actions that seem disrespectful of authority, such as slapping Dad. Liberals don’t worry as long as Dad has given permission.

Likewise, conservatives are more likely than liberals to sense contamination or perceive disgust. People who would be disgusted to find that they had accidentally sipped from an acquaintance’s drink are more likely to identify as conservatives.

The upshot is that liberals and conservatives don’t just think differently, they also feel differently. This may even be a result, in part, of divergent neural responses.


Good article. The author's conclusions don't surprise me. After years of listening to the concerns of conservatives on this thread, I know they truly feel the way they see things is very legitimate just as I believe the way I see things is very legitimate as well. And yet, those two views frequently contradict each other. And yeah, I don't mind touching public faucets or slapping my father if he gave his permission.

I suspect at one time the two sides complemented each other......but now its developed into a schism.
