Conservonazi propaganda...

Interesting that it leads off with Al Gore.  He is hardly the spokesman for liberalism.  His wife was anti-music.  He sold off Current TV to Al Jazeera (I have no bones to pick with them) and destroyed some good shows.  The thing I resent most is the loss of John Fugelsang's show.  This sounds an awful lot like they had had predetermined the outcome and slanted their study to get the reults they wanted....

^^^ I bet a lot of studys do that. You could probably prove that greenies are more likely to paint their &rse blue on a Sunday than everyone else if you know how, and as individuals we choose what to believe and what not to largely dependiong on what we WANT to believe. That's just my opinion...

Gore is the worlds leading faux greenie though isn't he.

Odd that the Guardian should report on this, as it's a left/liberal paper. I would expect to see something like this in our Daily Mail newspaper, which in the UK is like the Infowars of tabloid newspapers.

Both the article and the study are 4 years old. There were doubts about the methods used in the study at the time of publication (as the article mentions, unfortunately the links are dead).

Reading through the study paper itself (and not the newspaper conclusions), it seems like very naive "set of experiments" to me. The original study just goes to show why psychology and sociology are not real sciences as it fails to remember that correlation does not imply causation. 
What?

My study is 10 years younger and it reaches the same conclusion. Remarkable. Absolute science at work. Tongue

Well, I think we can take that as scientific fact then. I can smell that Nobel Prize coming our way.

They're certainly more irritating. Shut up about the CIA and let me buy fluoride mouthwash in peace.

I think you can make a good case for Gore being a faux green.  I still haven't gotten over of his killing of Current TV...

And his wife, Tipsy doing the whole PMRC thing...

Having said that, he would have been a much better president than W.  We'd still have a lot of bones to pick with him, but I don't think he would have let us get attacked on 911.

That's a bit harsh. The standards in the fields are unfortunately low, but it's hard to say that psychology isn't a science.

Questions about the validity of the study's methods aside, I am not surprised to see that conclusion. Other studies have found, for example, that exercising self-restraint leads to pervasive anger. There was another funny study that found Prius drivers are a****les. And let's not forget the manipulable effects of the expectation of reciprocity. I can think of a dozen reasons I'd expect this outcome regardless of methods.

"Ethical consumers less likely to be kind and more likely to lie, cheat and steal " Yes because usually they are richer people. And a recent study found a correlation between wealth and those three behaviors you mentioned.
