Wonder how many times the original was sited on MSNBC.
Conservative political beliefs not linked to psychotic traits, as study claimed
Researchers have fixed a number of papers after mistakenly reporting that people who hold conservative political beliefs are more likely to exhibit traits associated with psychoticism, such as authoritarianism and tough-mindedness.
As one of the notices specifies, now it appears that liberal political beliefs are linked with psychoticism. That paper also swapped ideologies when reporting on people higher in neuroticism and social desirability (falsely claiming that you have socially desirable qualities); the original paper said those traits are linked with liberal beliefs, but they are more common among people with conservative values.
“Cited”
Put the authors and reviewers in the Laughing Stocks....
““Cited””
Oops.
The damage has already been done.
See how easy it is for that retraction thing to happen?
It may have been sighted on MSNBC's website numerous times while it was sited there. A thorough count would be need to deterine how often it had been cited by others.
Mistake my @ss.
Proofread before hitting Post, dummy.
Few would define good to exclude themselves.
I’ve participated in many psychology studies on Amazon Mturk, knowing I’m one of the few conservatives doing so. Observations include:
* an overwhelming assumption that novelty seeking is a good thing
* that anything that can be labeled fear of the other is bad, see assumption above
* valuing sexual purity and sexual exclusivity is a sign of a limited mind, see above assumptions
* that evil is always the result of mental illness or stupidity or lack of education - they cannot include in their views that someone would deliberately harm others for pleasure and personal gain per an intelligent plan with no concern for others
* that everyone is basically good, see assumption above
The proper usage, in this case, is CITED.
A classic case of bias confirmation. Too funny....
Of course it was. I was just providing two alternatives which were also used properly.
