>The researchers behind the psychology experiment told a group of participants to imagine that they'd been granted a superpower by a magic genie and were suddenly as invincible as Superman – bullets bounced off them, fire couldn't scorch their skin, and "a fall from a cliff wouldn't hurt at all," Bargh writes in his book.
The study's control group was simply told to imagine they could fly.
>Then the researchers asked the participants to weigh in on some political statements, including whether they "would be reluctant to make any large-scale changes to the social order," and whether "it's ok if some groups have more of a chance in life than others."
>Liberal participants' attitudes on social issues didn't shift at all. The conservative participants, on the other hand, started adopting more liberal views on social issues (though not economic ones.)
>Participants who imagined themselves with the ability to fly had no change in their political views.
The study authors say this is some of the first experimental evidence that making people feel completely safe can (temporarily) change their politics and make them more liberal.

HOLY SHIT THANK YOU SCIENTISTS FOR TEACHING ME THIS Sup Forums BTFO!!!!
ITT: Libtards think they have superpowers...
Reality Check: They still wet the bed
This is really just because conservatives deal with the liberal world 24/7 while liberals live in a bubble.
So when people believe fantasies like superpowers or Harry Potter are real they become liberals? Explains a lot actually.
>liberals would use superpowers trying to get jamal to pass his algebra 1 test
>social studies
lmao, literally - imagine if you were an omnipotent god - would you then be a little more liberal with the purse strings?
whoever is behind this study should be digging ditches for a living, a total charlatan.
I don't get why that would change their views
>pseudo science
and libshits wonder why we don't take them surius
Probably because it makes people feel more self-centred and narcissistic; liberalism is the ideology of self-centredness and narcissism.

Explains why old people are more conservative than young people.
Old people are more afraid.
I'm just the opposite. The older I get, the more liberal I get and the less afraid.
I've done everything that was intended.
I have fulfilled my destiny by working hard and having faith.
Everything now is simply gravy. Or it won't be.
But I have great memories of the fight.
Time for the young to step up.

conservatives arent in these fucking retarded liberal faggot courses with these faggot koombiya feeling circles.

Scientist has confirmed, science is for faggots.
So liberals live in a fantasy land? That explains why they're trying to take over video games and comics.
Makes sense. When everything is fine and dandy, why should you care what happens around you? It's clearly all good, so tolerating everything is fine. But when shit has hit the fan and you are scared, obviously you really start to pay attention to what it happening.
>"it's ok if some groups have more of a chance in life than others."
So if I think I'm invincible I'll be OK with affirmative action?
What really rustles my Jimmies is that my tax dollars are probably paying for this (((study))).
>Liberals live in a fantasy world
Shocker
Most Cons will become Liberal lo g enough to get laid.
Makes since, liberals operate on a fear basis. Think about it, "They will take away your gibs" "Literally Hitler is about to genocide you" and others.
Conservatives operate on a disgust basis. All the things conservatives don't like are disgusting; degeneracy, sloth, irrationality.

This is telling me liberals live in gated communities in their minds as much as they do physically.

This is honestly the most retarded shit I have ever read. The train of thought for these conclusions is laughable.
Liberals really are ruining psychology.

>These findings leave open a crucial question: Do whites in heavily Hispanic neighborhoods support Trump because they tend to be high in white identity? Using a statistical approach called “mediation analysis,” we tested whether white identity accounted for the relationship between exposure to Hispanics and support for Trump. We found that identity does indeed serve as a significant link between Hispanic exposure and Trump support.
Yeah... we know this... If only we could flood left wing white environment with niggers we could fix a lot of societal problems
Well, duh is this obvious?
Conservatism is to prevent bad things from happening. You want to "conserve" the world as it is.
The only reason anyone supports Conservatism is that they feel bad things are going to happen.
They must be threatened in some way.
Librelism is to improve on the good things that we already have. To liberate society in any way that it is repressed. The only way someone would support liberalism is that they don't feel they are threatened. And they are completely safe.
Liberalism is a ideology of privilege.
Exactly, my first thoughts were
>I'm invincible?
>Jews are fucked
>If you live in a world of pretend, you become liberal.
imagine my shock
Hey, here ... how is it?
This is why all right wing propaganda involves scary dark people raping and killing white people.

>I would walk through the ghettos and crack nigger skulls then go to (((Hollywood))) and Jew York to crack kike skulls until the niggers stop being uppity and the Jews stop existing.
If I had super powers I don't know if I'd want to get involved too much, doesn't feel right to go around forcibly imposing your will on people with tools they will never have. Never really liked superhero shit for the same reason.
Conservative beliefs are predicated on threat mitigation, liberals on the other hand do not respond to threats correctly. Liberal beliefs originate in a dysfunction of the amygdala. Since they do not feel threatened by things which actually are threatening (especially large order threats which may not be apparent on surface level observation) liberals act as if they do not exist.
It's obvious that conservatives, if given the ability to mitigate all threats, would adopt more liberal attitudes. Why are they wasting money on something that has been obvious since the 80's?
I think we need more statistics before we jump to conclusions on this but yeah that makes sense for modern day liberalism.

well DUH
Conservatives are the most dedicated to safe spacery, nationalism is exactly that: parasites and predators everywhere, so everything has to be directed to safety guarded by dominance and threats.
You change conservatives by making them feel powerful and safe, you wreck them by forcing them to co-operate or die.
This
This confirms to me that liberals are actually braindead sheeps that doesn't recognize danger because of their mindset.
MENTAL DISORDER.
>irrationality? Then how come that most conservatives are religious? What about white evangelicals because their pretty fucking irrational when it comes to science...
everytime they reach the wrong conclusion when the right one is staring them in the face.
liberals are extremely naive. that naive belief that the world is a safe place and no one wants to harm them, even in the ghetto, is exactly why so many libtards wind up dead when they backpack across Europe or travel to 3rd world shitholes, or try to be friendly with bears.
that is not an admirable trait. that is the trait of lower order prey.
Science was created by religious people. Atheists have created 50 genders and posmodernism.
Said like a real liberal that won't recognize the unscientific cult that is modern "science".
Christianity is very rational, it's the strawman concoction that fedoras project onto the faith that is irrational.
>use science to show iq and race are connected
>bitch and moan when science proves your other intuitions
Why are some Sup Forumsacks so fucking retarded? Scientists proving what you thought intuitively correct is a good thing.
Rationalism is what made the west strong, not feels. Just because you feel something that happens to be correct doesn't mean you don't need to prove it objectively
>Librelism is to improve on the good things that we already have. To liberate society in any way that it is repressed.
It's end up plunder society
It's paradise on earth to money lender, landlord , Pimp

Liberals are LARPing every day of their lives
>but the point was conservatives get kinder and more generous when they imagine themselves as capeshit heroes
way to miss the point you fucken potato
>gaslighting people confuses them
wow who'd a thunk it.
>Christianity is very rational
so being 'liberal' depends on some braintard preconception: 'i can (personally) fly'

Fake Science!
>fear makes people conservative
no shit
>gaslighting
I don't think that word means what you think it means. Also
>conservatives accusing others of being gaslighted
But we can't fly, so the liberals are wrong.
They would be right if they could fly.
>Evey group has an equal chance
>People think this is a liberal idea
>superman powers
>not purging the filth with your newfound Godhood
Who are these fags?
The more power you have to influence a situation, the more likely you are to take risks. Liberals believe they are god and that they can change reality at will with no consequences, while conservatives recognize that some situations can be fucked up beyond salvageability, and so they make decisions carefully instead of stupidly ruining the world for the sake of abstract utopian fantasies.
> get superpower
> basically become untouchable
> doesn’t immediately adopt fascism and rule with an iron fist
Probably biased and unrealistic study
Kill yourself Boomer scum! REEEE!
What were the questions?

Exactly. You are the God emperor of mankind, time to clean house
I'd really wish I could fly.
Man that'd be so sweet... Just... just not giving a fuck about gravity and such.

>liberal thinkers are delusional retards who don't understand how vulnerable they and their livelihoods are
I could have told you that.
>if you feel completely safe, or in other words, delusional, you'll adopt liberal social views
They needed a study to conclude this? Everyone has always known. And it's the one of the arguments used against liberals to prove how detached from reality they are.
good shit. I personally think that as soon as men are in charge, winter ends. And the cycles last longer than a generation or two, meh. Cycles within cycles.

Is it referring to the white feather method? This theory seems inapplicable.
specious af, user
>One study.
Literally, don't believe any psychology test based off of one study. Actual, reliable psychology studies have been replicated or have N>1000.
A buddy of mines wife did a study for school that involved studying the minds of liberals and conservatives. Here’s some of the highlights
Maze Test:
>Both parties were asked to solve mazes with similar pathes
>Liberals typically changed pathes, weren’t consistent
>Conservatives typically followed similar and consistent pathes
>Suggests that conservatives think more logically and from experience, liberals more from situational and emotion
Fear Tests:
>People were shown pictures of disgusting pictures (Babies crying, people hurt)
>Conservatives showed more disgust and fear response
>Liberals had much less response
Situation questioning:
>Both parties asked a question like “Is it ok to burn your house down? How about if it had your mother inside? How about if it was for insurance money?”
>Liberals responses again were situational and they would typically rely on saying “is the mother abusive”? Or similar questions trying to justify the act
>Conservatives overwhelming said all situations were wrong
TL:DR: Conservatives are more logical in their actions and thoughts than liberals. Liberals are more situationally focused and drive much of their decision on emotion and feeling.
>no uniting of canada aus nz and uk forming the new empire
Should link the study.
I'm glad they're studying it,
because it is painfully obvious that conservative values
stem from a place of butt-hurt victimization.
oops you did that already. hence my point. it's everywhere and always has been. nothing you can say can change my mind. hence the whole focus on making fun of "super powers". since you think youre invincible already when you believe this because somebody confirmed it you dont need to be defensive and a fucking womany liar. back to watching based star trek std now. enjoy the tooth jobs
>science says liberals ignore reality
K. Does Explains why their handlers put up safe spaces for them.
this whole post is just to stroke your own opinion
>making people feel completely safe
Liquidate all the niggers and afterwards people will be more sympathetic toward the general population, of course.
