Conservativism and liberalism each represent generally desirable"values" and generally undesirable"vices" in the nation's political landscape, according to newly published research led by a University of Wyoming psychology professor.
"When a person indicates that they are 'liberal' or 'conservative,' an important part of what they are communicating is theirfor how they would like society to be structured," the researchers wrote."Yet, past theories have described these goals in dramatically different ways, proposing that either conservativism or liberalism reflects a divisive or unifying goal, leading to allegations of bias.
The researchers reached their conclusions by comparing a broad, representative sample of all possible human goals with, voting behavior and other expressed characteristics of American adults. In the studies,"vices" are defined as goals that the average person finds undesirable most of the time, and"values" are defined as goals that the average person finds desirable.
When it comes to liberalism, the researchers say inclusiveness values also help bind together people into a community—for example, by ensuring that resources are fairly distributed to different groups. But they also found that rebellion is linked with animosity toward conservatives.
