Epic Correction of the Decade

People higher in Neuroticism tend to be more economically liberal. What is intriguing about this relationship is that it is in the opposite direction of what past theories would predict. . . That is, neurotic people are more likely to support public policies that provide aid to the economically disadvantaged (public housing, foreign aid, immigration, etc).

I put this in the humor category because someone caught them misinterpreting the data sets, a bit to late but still retracting their conclusions...Liberals Are the sickies. Of course...we knew that all along.

    I saw this a day ago on I think Quadrant.
    Yes it belongs in humor. A typical social sciences research project- the question is inapplicable, so the tests and questionnaires cannot go anywhere, and results are as meaningless as first reported or in the refutation.
    Dobrien's comment is good. One thing tho'. Climate change researchers never backtrack, whatever happens that is the opposite of their predictions it is always - ' that is not inconsistent with climate change'.
