Study Reveals Anti-Conservative Discrimination Among Psychologists

A significant number of social and personality psychologists have told researchers they would discriminate against conservatives in decisions about publishing, grant applications and hiring, according to a study published in the September issue of the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science. Authors Dr. Yoel Inbar and Dr. Joel Lammers assert in the study the more liberal the psychologist claimed to be, the more likely they were to admit to anti-conservative discrimination....

"By excluding those who disagree with (most of) us politically," Inbar and Yammers concluded, "we treat them unfairly, do ourselves a disservice, and ultimately damage the scientific credibility of our field."...

DUH!

But it's always good to get a statistical analysis in writing.

From the communist goals of 1963.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

Personally I think the psychiatric professions should be taking some heat over these mass shootings. They certainly seem to be a recurring theme in them.

I’ve found many errors in statistical methodology in published journals. The greatest error is not in the statistics, but in biased sample selection.

Hardly surprising, but interesting just the same.

Thanks for the post. I have been finding (probably along with several other people!) the interesting tie between the recent shooting attacks by people who have been tied to the psychology/neuroscience field in some way.
(Fort Hood, Aurora, Sikh Temple...)

Once or twice is interesting. At least three becomes a pattern and should raise at least question mark flags in the minds of alert people.

There is consensus among Communists that dissidents must be locked up and tortured in mental institutes as criminally insane.

Interesting article find.

I hope that Dr. Yoel Inbar and Dr. Joel Lammers have independent practices as they will be black-balled, ostracized and likely have frivolous ethics complaints filed against them by their "always tolerant, accepting and fair" [BARF] colleagues.

Frankly, this doesn't exactly shatter the perception I have had about psychologists.

One might even call it self-preservation.  They know that Conservatives don't exactly back their 'ideology' 100%.

In agreement on the Communist Goals aspect (see Communist nations for examples).

Also in agreement here:

“Personally I think the psychiatric professions should be taking some heat over these mass shootings. They certainly seem to be a recurring theme in them.”

[TEXOKIE]

Good point. I am wondering if all these shootings are indeed the set-up as a false flag event(s) of some kind.

scientific credibility

Any credible psychologist will tell you that psychology is not a science, its an art. Aside from some chemical brain issues, there is nothing in psychology that can be proven. After all, how do you prove that someone thinks something and then prove why they think it?

[Socon-Econ]

A few observations. The brain is the province of medicine, but the mind is not. Also, modern day psychology is not all based on lab science; it has a lot of junk science and politics mixed in with it.

[SpaceBar]

Liberalism is a mental disorder, and psychiatrists are the fellow travellers of communism that empower and allow the mental defectives to run roughshod over society with impunity.

[cripplecreek]

Its no accident that the godfather of progressive public propaganda and crowd psychology (Edward Bernays) happened to be the nephew of Sigmund Freud.

Goebbels [...] was using my book Crystallizing Public Opinion as a basis for his destructive campaign against the Jews of Germany. This shocked me.

Ping! Another reason why medical docs should be vigilant in counseling referrals, students in the caring professions should choose their program wisely, and pastors should stand firm on how to go about “the renewing of your mind.”

[Albion Wilde]

I’ve found many errors in statistical methodology in published journals. The greatest error is not in the statistics, but in biased sample selection.

This study was studying the bias itself. It may not be precise, but then, psychology is essentially unquantifiable. If the "show of hands" cited is any example, there is a lot of wiggle room in their findings.

Some people go into psychiatric professions to discover what is wrong with themselves. Add to it the access to psychotropic drugs.

These people (like the woman who gunned down her fellow professors) at ratsh!t crazy.

How was the Sikh temple guy tied to psychology? I missed that detail.

Don’t forget, as homosexuals entered psychology, it became “normalized”.

[Albion Wilde]

There will come a time when conservatives realize that they already have “critical mass”, and will come out of the woodwork and push back against the domineering crazies who have been running things since the 60s. A certain old friend of mine in the early 70s had to help me get over having been hit on by the married psychologist I had gone to for life coaching. Talk about liberal...
