/sci/ - Science & Math

The social-desirability scale measures people’s tendency to answer questions in ways they believe would please researchers, even if it means overestimating their positive characteristics and underestimating negative ones.

The erroneous report has been cited 45 times, according to Thomson Reuters Web of Science.

Brad Verhulst, a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher and a co-author of the paper, said he was not sure who was to blame.

“I don’t know where it happened. All I know is it happened,” he told Retraction Watch, a blog that tracks corrections in academic papers. “It’s our fault for not figuring it out before.”

The journal said the error doesn’t change the main conclusions of the paper, which found that “personality traits do not cause people to develop political attitudes.”

But professor Steven Ludeke of the University of Southern Denmark, who pointed out the errors, told Retraction Watch that they “matter quite a lot.”

“The erroneous results represented some of the larger correlations between personality and politics ever reported; they were reported and interpreted, repeatedly, in the wrong direction,” he said.

Gee, I wonder how such a "mistake" could happen. Surely no one was motivated to incorrectly present the data as the complete opposite of what it really was. Peer review would have caught such an error.

I'll take empathy, thanks

>where the original manuscript reports those higher in neuroticism and social desirability are more liberal, they are, in fact, more conservative.”
interesting

>>16207062
>so presumably all of those 45 papers that cited it now need to be retracted

>>16205745
so...

conservatives = neurotic*, and higher social desirability (the tendency for individuals to present themselves favorably to others by overreporting positive behaviors and underreporting negative ones. Insecure, basically)

left wing = psychotic, tough-minded, risk-takers, sensation seekers, impulsive, and authoritarian

flip a coin, lol

*where are the neurotic traits? interesting

>>16208548

You're not "insecure" if you talk about your career instead of your daki collection on first dates.

What does psychotic/neurotic dichotomy even mean here? You know it’s always flawed. The nazis joining the police force to shoot blacks are not liberals.

>>16205745
Conservative in the US means being pro-gay marriage but not for trans kids

>>16205745

it's true
psychotics are usually low IQ and easy to manipulate same is true for conformist serf cucks like conservatives

Thats also when they lose their illusions about how much better they'd be at running the show than the older, wiser people they spent their youths envying

Liberals are psychotic, conservatives are just retarded.

Ditto! I feel empathy for those born, not the unconscious.

>>16205745
Um... Yeah. Of fucking course this will be seen in progressive circles, because they are opposing the established symbolic order and therefore require more "psychotic" traits to do so. I don't understand what's truly subversive about this point, all it tells you is that social deviation is required for progress; and that can usually be seen as closer to psychotic traits. It doesn't mean that said progress is le bad for humanity, it's just a simple disconnect from conservatism. Don't let your political bias change this into "lock liberals in a psych ward".

>>16223545
>All it tells you is that social deviation is required for progress
Adding on that this is an extremely obvious point from human organization conflicts in history as well. People already knew this shit for years and my point is that the essence of this sort of conclusion isn't new.

>>16205745
I could've told you this. Every woman I've met with blue or even hardcore blue beliefs has been absolutely neurotic.

So sad.
Believe it or not it wasn't always this way. I was here when these boards were made and for a while they were actually browsed by people who knew what they were talking about. The discussions were legitimately interesting and educational. But over time they got pushed out by /pol/tards, like almost every other board on this shithole. You fuckers are locusts, you destroy everything you touch, and then you act like it's always been like that.

Isn't this obvious? Conservatives are normal people with families. Liberals are degenerates. It's obvious that liberals have something wrong with them from their behaviour. A well functioning mental state should lead to functional families and societies.

>>16241664
That explains all their rhetoric about how evil the traditional family is and how it needs to be eliminated.
They hate what other people can achieve, but they cannot because other people's achievements highlight their own failures.

Really, it’s just neuroses of different types.
The political compass should be turned on its side to become a diamond shape. The top being libertarian ideals, and as it descends you become more authoritarian and insane.
Libshits are entitled womtards that expect gibs, auth-right are piss-ants that wanna swing their dick around, and tankies are just deranged.

>>16208514
Leftist only have empathy for abstract collections divorced from themselves. The further you go out the more they care. A conservative will put priority on those closer to them, more care about their family and their country, while a leftist puts priority on the world and the universe. This might sound sweet and caring but if leads to insane self destructive behavior.

>>16205778
>muh forced 'the real' meme
You just are racists and authoritarians. No stretch needed.

It's not irrational to reject any environmental proposal by Democrats since they're always just hollow words dress to be pleasantries that do absolutely nothing at best to help or actively end up creating the opposite effects at the worst.
If you actually care about the environment your highest priority is shutting down any garbage being pushed by evangelical "environmentalists".
