As Kasz already said, I posted this some time ago. It interesting though, because I found it extremely counter intuitive. The research would suggest that liberals are cold and clinical in decision making and conservatives would be more likely to be driven by emotion, which I think is the opposite of what we see.
The hypothetical scenario I mentioned in the last thread was that of a government funded art gallery. The conservative would be most likely to weigh out the benefits of the gallery against the cost; where as the liberal would be likely to support it or oppose it on a more emotional level (i.e. "You can't put a price on freedom of expression!").
I think that the research goes against what I would percieve as liberal and conservative qualities.
But then again, if I remember in the last thread Kasz did bring up a good point about how a conservative would be more likely to not support something like homosexual rights based on their emotions.
