People with lower emotional intelligence are more likely to hold right-wing views, study finds​

New research from Belgium provides evidence that deficits in emotion understanding and emotion management are related to right-wing and prejudiced attitudes. The study has been published in the journal Emotion.

“I have a lifelong interest in political psychology and in political ideology in particular. The observation that left-wing and right-wing adherents tend to differ on so many psychological characteristics is amazing,” said study author Alain Van Hiel, a professor at the University of Ghent.

“Many scholars have investigated the cognitive basis of ideology in general, and right-wing ideological attitudes in particular. In the present study, we wanted to investigate if a similar relationship would exist for emotional abilities.”

In two studies, the researchers assessed the emotional abilities and political ideology of 983 Belgian undergraduate students. The second study also examined the participants’ cognitive ability. Emotional ability was measured with three tests: the Situational Test of Emotional Understanding, the Situational Test of Emotion Management, and the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test.

The researchers found that individuals with weaker emotional abilities — particularly emotional understanding and management — tended to score higher on a measure of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation.

Right-wing authoritarianism is a personality trait that describes the tendency to submit to political authority and be hostile towards other groups, while social dominance orientation is a measure of a person’s preference for inequality among social groups.

“The results of this study were univocal. People who endorse authority and strong leaders and who do not mind inequality — the two basic dimensions underlying right-wing political ideology — show lower levels of emotional abilities,” Van Hiel told PsyPost.

Those with lower emotional and cognitive abilities were also more likely to agree with blatantly prejudiced statements such as “The White race is superior to all other races.”

The researchers controlled for age, sex, and education level. But like all research, the study includes some limitations. The study only collected correlational data, preventing inferences of causality from being made.

The study, “The Relationship Between Emotional Abilities and Right-Wing and Prejudiced Attitudes“, was authored by Alain Van Hiel, Jonas De keersmaecker, Emma Onraet, Tessa Haesevoets, Arne Roets, and Johnny R. J. Fontaine.

People with lower rational intelligence are more likely to hold left-wing views.

Is this a great country or what?!

This is a common parrot phrase by you leftist, and you keep parroting this phrase even AFTER we demonstrate that we know more about it than you.

Communism is an impossible form of stateless existence ("Utopia") where all property and means of production are held collectively and the use and distribution is democratically decided. NOWHERE EVER has communism existed. EVER. Why? Because there is no such thing as a stateless society. Too hard for humans to accept.

Generally, what we have seen is SOCIALISM, where the GOVERMENT owns everything and the few elites decide how it is used/distributed.

So, basically, you're all commies, but you are too stupid to know it will NEVER happen. You're living a pipe dream while simultaneously DESTROYING what does work.

Now, are you going to repeat that bullshit "don't know what communism is" parrot line you have been instructed to repeat?

It is not a parrot line because we are not into Communism. If you had a bit more intelligence you would understand.

 

[NoNukes]

The stupid people are the ones who don't realize they are indoctrinated into communism.

How have I been indoctrinated into Communism? You know nothing about me. You have obviously been indoctrinated into idiocy.

Like all presidents, I never agree with them on everything.
It's called disagreeing.

A vital piece of our democracy puzzle, free speech and all that stuff you take for granted..... being American. ( or used to be)

lol ... tucker carlson.

'nuff said.

 

[playtime]

That's okay. Conservatives score far higher on ACTUAL science than you lefties do.

So, you are emotional, but scientifically illiterate.

And to SHOW that emotional intelligence of his, he supports a serial child rapist who shows up in Kenosha to burn down the businesses of innocent people, and all this to show solidarity with a worthless thug who beat the living shit out one of his baby mommas.

That's some pretty amazing emotional intelligence on display there, isn't it folks?

What is brutal is that with the endless help of the media, Progs are winning the argument on nasty unrepentant career criminals. To learn lessons and improve life is different. But most of these people are perps and not nice. True innocent men and women and they have a point.

 

[Turtlesoup]

If only there were a scientific way to ACTUALLY test this "theory" about commies being more "emotionally intelligent" than everybody else.

"Emotional intelligence" sounds like another way to say "people who are in touch with their feelings."

Is that what they're talking about?

Or Emotionally Intelligent people are just people more easily Emotionally Manipulated.

This is not the first study that comes to the conclusion that right wingers are lower down the food scale.

Right wing arguments are based , generally, on greed and cruelty and those vices translate very quickly into policies that appeal to those of lower intelligence.

Indeed, there is very little need for actual policies to placate the dribblers amongst us.

Maybe the left needs to simplify its policies to a level that righties can understand. If that is even possible.

No it isn't...those weak minded communists and socialists are always trying to use their nitwitted studies to try to manipulate people into supporting their flawed idealogies..no surprise then when their "studies" don't hold up to any sort of inspection.
