Sorry error on my part, they cited a meta-analysis.
A recent meta-analysis finds that an insecure attachment in early childhood
strongly predicts the onset of major depression in childhood and adolescence.
The results—summarized in meta-analyses—are clear: Authoritative parenting predicts fewer
mental health problems and delinquent behavior, both at the time of measurement and in
the future. Both harsh and overly permissive parenting predicts higher risk of mental health
problems and problematic behaviors, as does neglectful parenting.
Usually, I’d look for the evidence, but not today.
It’s in the study.
To paraphrase, conservatives are less concerned with equality of outcomes and more with equality of opportunity. While American liberals are depressed by inequalities in society, conservatives are okay with them provided that everyone has roughly the same opportunities to succeed. The latter is a more rosy and empowering view than the deterministic former.
They found that conservatives “expressed greater personal agency, more positive outlook, more transcendent moral beliefs, and a generalized belief in fairness” compared to liberals.
Conservatives are more satisfied with their lives, in general… report better mental health and fewer mental and emotional problems (all after controlling for age, sex, income, and education), and view social justice in ways that are consistent with binding moral foundations, such as by emphasizing personal agency and equity.
another perspective, could support the idea that conservatives are delusional in their belief that everyone has roughly the same opportunities to succeed
For the most part, we do. That’s why so many people flock here from other countries. I grew up poor, I joined the national guard, paid for my undergraduate, graduate degree, they paid for most my medical school. Between the national guard and army, I came out owing next to nothing from college.
I went into technology and made even more money. I worked at a swat doctor to supplement my income.
The opportunities are there if you are willing to work hard and a reasonably intelligent.
Now yes the wealthy may have it easier but anyone can come wealthy if they just do something of value and expand on something.
Liberals want the government to hand them success. Conservatives want the chance to build their success
It was possible for grandparents to work at an ice cream shop and pay their way through college
Companies use to pay for college. I knew people who started at IBM after high school. The company thought they had potential and sent them to college. They paid for college, and I think half their salary.
In return they’re stay at IBM and become management or some other job that needed a degree.
I think that’s one of the largest changes I’ve seen

They have plenty of links in the articles.
It is very well known conservatives are happier than liberals, they give more to charity and have better sex lives.

I explained why but let’s not take my word for it. Let’s look at the research.
