Political conservatives in the United States are like East Asians in the way they think, categorize and perceive. That is the gist of a new University of Virginia cultural psychology study, published recently in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.



"We found in our study that liberals and conservatives think as if they were from completely different cultures – almost as different as East and West," said study leader Thomas Talhelm, a U.Va. doctoral candidate in cultural psychology. "Liberals and conservatives categorize and perceive things differently, just as East Asians and Westerners look differently at the world."



According to Talhelm, political conservatives in the United States, generally, and East Asians, particularly, are intuitive or "holistic" thinkers, while Westerners, generally, and American liberals, in particular, are more analytical thinkers.



Analytic thinking styles tend to look at the parts of a situation, and how they work together toward the whole. This involves "slicing up the world and analyzing objects individually, divorced from context," Talhelm said.

That's a nasty misleading headline you've got there Bobby!!!



Personally, I have never taken much stock from University studies. Before even considering their "analysis", I ask myself "What is the basis and compulsion that caused these analysts to actually contrive the need for, and basis of such a study". In very few cases have I seen objective thought as one of the pre-requisites.

If anyone wants a little evidence of why I claim white lefties are the most odious racists I have ever encountered they need only glance at Bob's troll thread.
