Our research suggests that the theory that conservatives and liberals respond differently to threats isn’t actually true.
Are conservative and liberal brains hardwired differently? look around the net and you see the research quoting that this is the case, and many books have been written about it too. But what if it's wrong and that conservatives and liberals aren't doomed to be forever at each others throats. This new research seems to suggest that the environment plays a big factor in forming our attitudes.
The above scientists were excited about the research showing differences in how the brains of conservatives and liberals work, but their far more extensive research could not replicate the original study, even when using its criteria.
We Tried to Publish a Replication of a Science Paper in Science. The Journal Refused.
