Psychologists in Israel have conducted six studies and concluded that liberals make emotional decisions while conservatives make reasoned ones. They believe that their conclusions can be applied to US politics.
Conservative are more bad ass standing rigidly on principles while liberals are more swayed by emotions and empathy.

Being against abortion is emotional. Being against gay marriage is emotional. Denying that science behind climate is emotional. Denying the science behind studies in the safety of cannabis is emotional.
I think at first glance the liberals seem more emotional, but in reality, both are mostly swayed by an emotion, though a different one. To look at marijuana, the emotion is not even technically an emotion, but it's more like an emotion than a 'logic.' It's fear. Not a typical fear (which is why it's not really an emotion) but a fear of change. It was illegal before, and to make it legal now would confuse us. That, and the worship of Ronald Reagan who started the war on drugs.
And I'm not saying it's bad to be swayed by an emotion. It's good. I'm glad the right is capable of having some emotion, even if it doesn't always get the best result. If it was all analytical all the time, we'd live in a very unhappy society. Both sides do both to one extent or the other. I hardly see one side being more 'emotional' or more 'logical' that the other.

I'm trying to find the exact results of the study, how many were included in it. It appears they didn't ask questions about domestic policy as much as they asked questions about Israel and foreign policy from the article linked. However, when I go to the source site, there is no talk of this study, or its results. Interesting.....
