Ever suspect conservatives are just lazy thinkers? Well, you may be
right. At least, if these two studies get to weigh in. The first was
published in Psychological Science. It showed
that children who score lower on intelligence tests are more likely to
show conservative social/political views as adults. The second,
published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, shows that, “when
under time pressure or otherwise cognitively impaired, people are more
likely to express conservative views.” It used alcohol and time
constraints while asking questions of subjects. When drinking or
pressured, answers were more conservative
