Political conservatives in the United States are somewhat like East Asians in the way they think, categorize and perceive. Liberals in the U.S. could be categorized as extreme Americans in thought, categorization and perception. That is the gist of a new University of Virginia cultural psychology study, published recently in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
Additionally, the study indicates that thought styles whether analytical or holistic can be changed through training, enough so to temporarily change political thought and the way a person might vote.
"We found in our study that liberals and conservatives think as if they were from completely different cultures almost as different as East and West," said study leader Thomas Talhelm, a U.Va. doctoral candidate in cultural psychology. "Liberals and conservatives categorize and perceive things differently, just as East Asians and Westerners look differently at the world."
According to Talhelm, political conservatives in the United States, generally, and East Asians, particularly, are intuitive or "holistic" thinkers, while Westerners, generally, and American liberals, in particular, are more analytical thinkers.
The so-called "culture war," he said, is an accurate if dramatic way to state that there are clear cultural differences in the thought processes of liberals and conservatives.
"On psychological tests, Westerners tend to view scenes, explain behavior and categorize objects analytically," Talhelm said. "But the vast majority of people around the world about 85 percent more often think intuitively what psychologists call holistic thought, and we found that's how conservative Americans tend to think."
Holistic thought more often uses intention and the perception of whole objects or situations, rather than breaking them down to their parts such as having a general feeling about a situation involving intuition or tact.
Analytic thinking styles tend to look at the parts of a situation, and how they work together toward the whole. This involves "slicing up the world and analyzing objects individually, divorced from context," Talhelm said.
Studies show that analytical thinkers predominate in Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic societies (termed "WEIRD" societies in 2010 by a team of cultural psychologists at the University of British Columbia). But they make up only about 15 percent of the world's population.

Study suggests American liberals and conservatives think as if from different cultures

U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) (L) makes remarks before handing the gavel to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) (R) after he was re-elected speaker on the House floor at the U.S. Capitol in Washington January 6, 2015.
Even though pro-lifers were criticized for saying that "Obamacare" funds abortion, some liberals, including House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, are now complaining about Obamacare abortion funding that the U.S. House voted to remove Thursday.
The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, which passed 242-179, would require that insurance plans that receive government funding no longer cover elective abortions.
In reaction, some liberals have argued that the bill would increase taxes on small business. "Republicans Include Tax Hike In Latest Abortion Bill," announced the headline of a Huffington Post article by Jennifer Bendery.
But arguing that it is a tax increase is an implicit admission that Obamacare, also called the Affordable Care Act, actually does provide funding for abortions, something that many liberals have been reluctant to concede.
"The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act would deny small businesses a tax credit they currently receive through what's known as the SHOP exchange, a part of the Affordable Care Act, if they include abortion care in their health plans," she wrote.
The notion that the bill increases taxes will likely become a Democratic talking point as the debate moves to the Senate. House Minority Leader Pelosi, D-California, shared Bendery's article in a blog post on her website. The article was first shared with me in the form of a press release from a public relations firm, and the same argument can be found in several liberal websites (hereand here, for instance).
The complaint that the bill increases taxes is a red herring to begin with. The bill is designed to force companies receiving the credit to remove their abortion coverage. If the legislation were to become law, those companies would not get a tax increase, they would change their coverage so they could continue to get the credit. If those companies wanted to continue to pay for their employees abortions, they could continue to do so, they would just have to set up a separate account that is not paid for with the government funds.
Obamacare was never supposed to fund abortions. President Barack Obama struck a deal with pro-life Democrats in order to get enough votes to pass the legislation. In exchange for their votes, he signed an executive order saying that none of the law's funding would pay for abortions.
