     Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than 
liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives 
rationalize social and economic inequalities.

     Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, 
right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and 
well-being than left-wingers, the new study found.

     Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, 
which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

     The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is 
not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in 
life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried 
less about how equal people are."


     To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea 
of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic 
status in society based on hard work and good performance.

     If your beliefs don't justify gaps in status, you could be left 
frustrated and disheartened, according to the researchers, Jaime 
Napier and John Jost of New York University. They conducted both a 
U.S.-centric survey and a more internationally focused one to arrive 
at the findings.

     "Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater 
psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives," the researchers 
write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, 
"apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that 
would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) 
light."

     The results support and further explain a Pew Research Center 
survey from 2006, in which 47 percent of conservative Republicans in 
the U.S. described themselves as "very happy," while only 28 percent 
of liberal Democrats indicated such cheer.

     The same rationalizing phenomena could apply to personal 
situations as well.

     "There is no reason to think that the effects we have identified 
here are unique to economic forms of inequality," the researchers 
write. "Research suggests that highly egalitarian women are less happy 
in their marriages compared with their more traditional counterparts, 
apparently because they are more troubled by disparities in domestic 
labor."

     The current study was funded by the National Science Foundation.


Oui, la méchanceté et l'hypocrisie conservent, aux dépens des autres,
de l'entourage.
Tous les enfants de pervers narcissisques manipulateurs (PNM pour les
intimes) te le confirmeront.

C'était également comme cela que la bourgeoisie française a "compris"
le film d'Alain Resnais et Henri Laborit "Mon oncle d'Amérique" : plus
je maltraite mon prochain, et plus j'abrège et je diminue sa vie, et
plus je profite de cet avantage concurrentiel, contre mes collègues de
travail, contre mon conjoint, contre mes enfants, contre mon frère,
etc. Donc le harcèlement est une vache de bonne tactique ! Risque
pénal nul... Pas vu, pas pris, pas de lois !

Elle a aussi élaboré des siouxantes vachement chiadées, pour
disqualifier et éliminer les témoignages gênants, siouxantes du genre
: "Et puis d'abord, ton témoignage est irrecevable, car tu y étais,
donc tu n'es pas objectif !"...

Les grands gangsters aussi sont rarement libéraux... Certes Lucky
Luciano aimait bien se vanter d'avoir négocié "face à face avec le
président Roosevelt", mais c'était pour de l'argent, ce qui évidemment
justifiait tout.
Et puis, entre deux rackets, le crime politique peut lui aussi
rapporter du pognon et des complicités en haut lieu. Confère Gilbert

D'ailleurs Morris et Goscinny faisaient aboutir Von Hintersebeer à la
même conclusion : "Non seulement ces crimes vous ont laissé 
d'excellents souvenirs, mais en plus cela rapporte."

contenir toutes sortes de fables et d’erreurs, et qu’il faut prendre
la peine de vérifier, par des expériences.
