2021-10-02
Unexpectedly.
[PsychologyToday] People with left-wing economic views are more prone to more anxiety disorders.

  • Claims that conservatives are higher in threat sensitivity are challenged by findings from a large long-term survey in Britain.People with left-wing economic political views had higher rates of anxiety disorder symptoms.

  • People with liberal economic views tend to be higher in neuroticism and lower in conscientiousness than their conservative counterparts.

  • The relationship between threat sensitivity and political ideology may be more complex than previously thought.
