Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low Intergroup Contact

Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice, an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models. -snip

I'd have to read more of that study but on its face value I can believe some/most of whats being presented on face value. Especially in regards to low intergroup contact, which I'm sure has ties to poverty/low income as well.

Are you saying that there's a correlation with being poor and having right-wing views?

Cos that would tie into the "low intelligence" data point from the study as well. eg come this November there will be millions of poverty/low income people who are on the ACA (Obamacare) who will be voting for Trump again, despite Trump being very clear about destroying the ACA and having slowly chipped away at it for 3+ years now.

They're voting against their own physical and/or mental health, that doesn't sound like a smart move.

Robtard
Huh? confused

Cos that will be happening this Nov, these same people who rely on the ACA for their free-to-them or affordable health insurance will be voting for the man who has been explicitly clear that he wants to abolish said healthcare**, one of the few things he's very clear on.

**Should be noted that Trump doesn't have a better plan to replace the ACA.

We need to take some of the wind out of what we have allowed large corporations and the hyper-wealthy to soak up and that's probably going to be Bernie even if I really dislike some of his policies.

Far left and far right are more dumb than center, liberals, and libertarians.

Classical Liberals, also known as conservative libertarians, who vote Republican, are the most intelligent and informed voters.

The more left you are, the more severe mental health issues you have. There is significantly less of a correlation for right wingers, though.



Trying to say, "Republicans are dumber than Democrats" is not an honest statement.

Why bring up mental health when talking about intelligence, though?

Autism, depression, bipolar and such have been present in most of history's smartest people.

In robbie's little mind: if you believe that sexuality is a "spectrum" and that there are over five dozen genders and that a man can become a woman simply by wishing it then you're a woke friggin' "genius."


If you believe in absolutes like there only being two genders and that 2 + 2 always, without exception, = 4 though then you're just a right-wing dummy.

Do you have a credible citation for your claim about "right-wing" because what we learned in college was they come from every part of society, all shapes and sizes, all backgrounds, with no differentiation. Obviously, the rich are far better at covering it up.

But she doesn't. That's a bad comparison. Comparing Greta's grasp on what is best for the planet and life with almost anyone is a bad idea.

Let me see if I can find an exception to my point so I can make your point even better.*

But before that, finding exceptions to my point doesn't refute my point. You're just finding exceptions to try and avoid the actual point. This is known as the exceptions fallacy.

Often, you see scientists from unrelated fields making stupid statements about politics and policy. There's a reason for that: they are not experts in those fields.



Should medical doctors, psychologists, and family service professionals create and inform drug policy? Yes, they should. They are directly involved, from a research and support perspective, those who use and/or abuse drugs.

Should a 19 year old, second year, Bernie Sanders voter, who comes from an upper middle class family, create drug policies because they enjoy getting high on x at their favorite club or pad? No, probably not. But that's not how politics work. This person has an equal weight vote with an ER Medical Doctor who treats the dehydrated, dying, or dead victims of x use. That's odd. But, hey, that's democracy.


We end up with propaganda puppets in the form of Greta who have greater influences on policy than climatologists who tell us about ice ages from millions of years ago when the atmospheric CO2 was 12 times higher than now but 3 times colder than now.



*I cannot think of a good exception. The ones I can think of actually worked in areas related to policy and, therefore, don't work as an exception.

Catholic church is a much larger target and people hated going to church. They also hate their life choices and their self-perceived sins. So they go after the Church to help them with their cognitive dissonance. "See, this church is bad. My premarital sex is okay. Right? So is my alcoholism and drug use. So is my fapping. RIGHT? GOD?"

Also the systematic cover ups from one of the largest most powerful organizations in the world didnt help.

This didnt sit well with alot of people

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/08/14/us/catholic-church-sex-abuse-pennsylvania.amp.html

Neither did this

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Boston_sex_abuse_scandal

When large groups of powerful adults that are supposed to safeguard our children, instead abuse them and cover it up thru their power and influence, people dont like it.

The sheer scale of the catholic sex scandal in this country is unprecedented afaik.

Out of curiosity, have there been any massive child sex scandals committed by different religious institutions in this country near the scale of the Catholic abuse scandal that would require near or equal coverage that the Catholics got?

Other non religious institutions that have had large child sex abuse scandals such as Penn State University and the Boy Scouts of America have had massive coverage by all media outlets, and large backlash from the community/country in general and the scale and depths those reached, pale in comparison to the catholic church.

Church was so damn boring. And then being forced to drink the symbolic blood of their deity? The f*ck?

Surtur
Oh and that blood ain't fruit punch either it's booze. Hmm!

Strange how adults won't be impacted much by such a small amount of alcohol but kids might. Weird!

Also the systematic cover ups from one of the largest most powerful organizations in the world didnt help.

This didnt sit well with alot of people

Neither did this

When large groups of powerful adults that are supposed to safeguard our children, instead abuse them and cover it up thru their power and influence, people dont like it.

Well, these are pretty much the things I would have said to DDM. I might have added things about some religious groups funding things like the boy scouts and this becoming an opportunity for accusers both in the church and in the organisation etc. Otherwise, brilliant! thumb up

For accusers read abusers.

Just this morning the Boy Scouts of America national office declared bankruptcy this morning chapter 11 to work out a compensation plan for all the victims that have come forward with lawsuits.........this doesn't affect local chapters.

Fascinating and not surprising. Of course the Mormon Church in Utah is the largest donor to the BSAoA. (Not a dig at DDM) as with Islam I would never call Joseph Smith or Mohummad paedos. Different times, different things were accepted just like Jerry Lee Lewis. To be honest, Priests, Teachers, Nurses, Doctors, Police, Boy Scout Leaders will all attract abusers of different kinds and celebrities often get god complex and then become deviant, when you have no one telling you no your tastes become Catholic. The problem for organisations like the Mormon Church, The Catholic Church, School Boards and even the BBC is identifying these people and stopping them before they die of old age. Often the abuse is merely a facet of the abuser and in other ways they are respected and might actually be doing some good.

Muhammed was a pedophile. That is an undeniable fact. He was also a warmonger and was totally intolerant of anyone who wasn't muslim.

This will not be argued.

Surtur
He also apparently had this thing about killing poets who wrote negative things about him. And tortured a jew for his treasure.

At least Jesus would just beat you with a belt.

Even Jesus as a magic baby was better than Muhammad. Was Muhammad even a magic baby?

Finding their own path to power to satisfy their own perversions, I also thought that the Pope is looking to allow priests to become married, perhaps that might attract a better candidate for said position but if not refer to my opening statement.

The Mormons have pulled their support from the BSoA a few months ago? I don't recall exactly but they are forming their own "boy scouts." I was an altar boy and boy scout and I was never molested, unfortunately.......

The guy who taught me to swim along with teaching hundreds, maybe thousands of others was accused of touching up young girls though, he died before it went to court so we will never know.

Necro bump from an add spammer. Okay.

Topic: Jan 6th 2021 further proved this study correct.

I think you can only fill it in close to departure because it asks if you have been in contact with covid and that could obviously change in two weeks.

Last year we of course said no but we had been talking to our neighbours and within a week of us arriving one of them died from Covid and another a few days later. So they must of had it when we were talking to them but they didn't know it and we were more than two meters away.

Hed constantly make these accusations but refused to debate me on it. Total pussy. But likely he was just insecure in his own Religious beliefs.

And he certainly was a shining example proving the thread topic correct.

At least extreme right wingers like Star were just dumb as f***
