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.”

DeleteI was visibly surprised to discover the New York Post published this headline. Yet I'm sure they'll persist in their snide attitude of non-New Yorkers being uncivilized rubes. Such a mentality is impermeable.
ReplyDeleteAbout all I can say is they're better than the times, but that ain't saying much! :)
