The social sciences are not havens for conservatives...so the fact that left wing social scientists are documenting this should add some weight to the results...

Social scientists are perplexed — as well they should be, considering that for every one conservative social scientist, there are 10 liberals. But across all age groups, all incomes, all races, and both sexes — in every single measurable way — conservatives are happier than liberals.

Yet the most challenging fact pattern for the “privilege plus system justification” narrative of the ideological happiness gap is that, as I spell out in my forthcoming book (and this talk), wealth increasingly correlates with liberal political parties and views in the United States and many other countries. That is, the “winners” in the current economy are increasingly the people who are most depressed. This is hard to explain if the happiness gap is purely a function of privilege.
Furthermore, immigrants and minorities in the United States are more likely to be religious and socially conservative as compared to native-born whites. Likely not coincidentally, immigrants and racial or ethnic minorities are also significantly less likely to be diagnosed with depression as compared to non-Hispanic white peers. This is likely not a result of the “privilege” they enjoy relative to native-born non-Hispanic whites.
The “happiness gap” could be explained by genetics or other biological factors, although that evidence has yet to be discovered. What we know now, writes al-Gharbi, is that there could be a direct relationship between liberalism and mental illness that “maybe that certain psychological conditions drive people toward liberal ideology. On the other hand, it could be that some aspect of liberalism routinely undermines adherents’ subjective well-being. A case could be made in either direction.”




 
If you follow the science, it's pretty well established with numerous studies that conservatives are happier, healthier & more mentally stable than lefties.
This is often despite the researchers going into the study with pre-conceived notions that prove to be completely wrong.
Sometimes they equivocate &/or vacillate when reporting the results, but the facts are the facts.

White, leftist women are more likely than any demographic to be suffering from mental problems, followed by lefty women in general.
Leftist males generally have lower testosterone levels & it's been shown will often adopt more conservative stances once they take a testosterone supplement.

These are facts progbots & the facts don't care about your feelings but they do explain them.
Low-T &/or crazy is a tough way to go through life.
 
What? You mean homosexuality doesn't make you happier and a better person?
Changing genders isn't good for you mentally or physically?
Hating and hating and spitting isn't sensible or useful?
Denouncing God and condemning all Christians and Jews is ignorant and vile?
Atheists get a tiny fraction of Nobel Prizes, particularly in science, and their claims of intellectual supremacy are just lies?

Incidentally, sociology majors have the second lowest average SAT scores of any college major, with only education majors below them. "Public education is a socialist monopoly, a real one." -The Late Milton Friedman

How many people have those who claim to believe in gods killed?

It would be interesting to see the comparison

Being homosexual doesn't make you a good or a bad person.

Just like being heterosexual doesn't make you a good or a bad person.
 

 
It's always been my contention that liberals have the mentality of children. Children need attention anywhere they can get it. They are often pissed off over things they can't have. I always said you are not a true liberal unless you are taking happiness away from other people. From gasoline cars to natural gas stoves, if a liberal sees you're quite happy with your life, their first objective is to ruin it for you.
