Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes: Lower
Cognitive Ability Predicts Greater Prejudice
Through Right-Wing Ideology and Low
Intergroup Contact

豆瓣上看见的
实在忍不住转过来
Abstract
Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as
explanations of prejudice. We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater prejudice,
an effect mediated through the endorsement of right-wing ideologies (social conservatism, right-wing authoritarianism) and
low levels of contact with out-groups. In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets
(N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater racism in adulthood, and this effect
was largely mediated via conservative ideology. A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor
abstract-reasoning skills on antihomosexual prejudice, a relation partially mediated by both authoritarianism and low levels of
intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status. Our results suggest that cognitive abilities
play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability
in research on prejudice and a better integration of cognitive ability into prejudice models

所以这个是说智商低或者抽象推理能力差的人比较容易产生偏见嘛？这个似乎是挺显而易见的？

咱都是站在线这边的所以觉得那边的智商不行，反之只怕也一样
虽然是个很大的study数据点很多。。。。对面的人说不定也是一样想法，想找实验数据做论据也一样能找出来。
虽然打心眼里我是elitism的

那这还有什么意义嘛。。不能证明也不能证伪呀。。

en, my point is i believe what i believe, but the other side usually has some valid points too. dont wanna get too fixated on my own opinion without at least looking at what the other side has to say first.

the paper is very daring....
