Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.
A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.
The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism.
“The interpretation of the coding of the political attitude items in the descriptive and preliminary analyses portion of the manuscript was exactly reversed,” the journal said in the startling correction.
“The descriptive analyses report that those higher in Eysenck’s psychoticism are more conservative, but they are actually more liberal; and where the original manuscript reports those higher in neuroticism and social desirability are more liberal, they are, in fact, more conservative.”

Part of the confusion can be how the words ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ are interpreted.
He’s not “looney”, he’s evil....Evil proliferates by having the ability to appear tolerable.
Childhood traumas and abuse cause developmental deficits that lead to childish fantasies, trances, obsessions, paranoia, transference neuroses, delusions, phobias, irrational drives, repressions, and denials of reality, which when combined, end up as libtardism.
It is common for studies to have a cover sheet that is a complete lie about the study’s results. Some politically motivated “researcher” (aka commie) writes up “findings” that support his agenda. The doctor who made claims that people who have a gun in the home are 30 times more likely to be killed than those who don’t later admitted that he had lied about the findings. Most people accept the cover sheet and don’t look at the actual study itself and don’t verify the data.
The editor of the Lancet wrote that 50% of medical studies are bogus. This was a stunning admission. States pass laws based on these fraudulent studies.
Kinsey’s study is probably one of the most evil examples of pseudoscientific fraud, having hired child molesters to do “research”. It wasn’t for decades until someone actually reviewed Kinsey’s study and revealed it as a fraud. But look at the fallout from Kinsey’s lies. Rape penalties were lowered in all 50 States with Kinsey testifying and using his “study” as “proof” that promiscuity and perversion were “normal”. We now have a multi-billion dollar “treatment” fraud empire built on this base of lies.
We are aware of the massive climate pseudoscientific fraud on the FR and discuss it regularly. It’s time to take up some of these other scams that are used to rape the taxpayers for millions and harm unknown numbers of innocents as a result.
True.
HA!
100% backwards and they published it...
wait- maybe it was an experiment in itself to prove their point
I bet this info will not be spread NEARLY as far and wide as the previous one.
“2. Keeps performing same tasks expecting different outcomes.
To be fair, this became normal with Windows.”
Now, that’s funny.

toxoplasmosis - the liberal disease
My wife and I have had cats for over 20 years. Neither one of us has turned liberal yet, but we do bow to our feline masters.
“I don’t know where it happened. All I know is it happened,” he told Retraction Watch, a blog that tracks corrections in academic papers. “It’s our fault for not figuring it out before.”
When ‘researchers’ have opinions they are looking to back up with ‘science’, then stuff like this happens.
dumba$$.
This covers all of them which we've been posting for a couple of years now: Swordmaker's and (my girlfriend) Kathy's proposed diagnosis for the new IDC-10 addenda:
321.0 SPLAT Liberal Cerebral Defenestration (LCD) or Liberal Acquired Brain Absence (LABA), Complete loss of rationality, cognition, and cerebration due to indiscriminately keeping one's mind so far open that the brain falls out. First and subsequent encounters.
Psychotic academics.
Well, the cats aren’t the cause. I’ve got cats.
The only thing Hitlery has in common with cats is that she’ll eat you if she’s a big cat and you’re not.
I pay no attention to social research anyway. It’s almost always wrong and IS always subjective.
Beginning at least in 1955; in my memory.
ping!
Here’s a piece on the long awaited retraction by the New York Times... the one that will NEVER happen.. Maureen Dowd - will you write this one up?
‘Epic Correction of the Decade [liberals, not conservatives, tend toward psychosis]’

Poli-sci, sociology and psychology departments are crammed with liberals.
They come up with the result they want.
And neurotic helicopter parenting by micromanaging soccer moms on antidepressants expressing constant cognitive dissonance to a child while demanding it be accepted as normalcy, IS childhood trauma to an extremely severe degree.
That was the title of a Michael Savage book.
