Findings from three separate studies link a person's political ideology and their self-control performance, with conservatives demonstrating greater self-control than liberals.
In each study, Clarkson says participants who identified as politically conservative consistently showed greater attention regulation and task persistence—hallmark indicators of self-control—and that these effects were independent of participants' gender, race, age, education or income.

This needs a lot of press.
We have the left always doing academic studies to prove that conservatives, or christians, or the religious, or the mature, or the southerners are less educated, lower IQs or any such BS and they get all sorts of press attention. This study should be cited as well.
We are masters of our domain.

“This finding is especially interesting because research to this point has focused only on the positive outcomes of believing in freewill,” says Clarkson. “However, one could imagine a host of situations where knowing you are responsible for your actions could lead to frustration, anxiety and other negative emotions that could impair self-control. In these contexts, these findings would suggest liberals will demonstrate greater self-control.”

Lovin’ it. Ha ha ha ha ha!.
Any idiot knows this without three studies confirming it….more studies probably financed by government grants.
Liberalism is all about pushing knee-jerk “solutions” to problems that make individuals feel good in the short term while accentuating those very problems in the long run. The difference between those on welfare and those who are relatively self-reliant is the ability to defer gratification. The same applies to politicians and policies that serve one versus the other.
