Psychological Differences between Conservatives and Liberals

There are scientific studies that say liberals and conservatives favor different personality traits and those preferences affect how we vote.

Liberals and conservatives don't just differ politically. According to scientific research, people on different ends of the political spectrum differ psychologically too.

Expansively covered . Brilliant research . This is a comparison that defies formulation . The ambient environment which incubates these qualities, is dynamic, and hence to grant these traits a foundational status upon which personal attitudes, relationships and approaches are built, may not withstand the scrutiny of the vicissitudes of times that we live in .But I whole heartedly acquiesce, to the framework postulated in this video as the centre point of any worthwhile assessment to infer logical and coherent conclusions on how conservative and liberal mindsets influence individual and collective mindsets, in shaping priorities, decision making and solution finding.

That was extremely interesting. I am interested to see some of those studies and explore ( if the work exists) a social analysis within a multi political party system. Thanks :)

I read an article once that Conservatives and Liberals often have different reactions to childhood trauma. It mentioned that Conservatives can often lean towards a more Stockholm syndrome mindset while Liberals may lean towards having PTSD. Does this hold any merit or what would be your professional opinion on it?
