That being said, I did laugh at this gem on that website you linked;
"and lower levels of openness and neuroticism than voters expressing an intent to vote to remain."
"is one of the Big Five higher-order personality traits in the study of psychology. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than average to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness."
Then, for a laugh, I carried on reading and found;
"In the experimental studies, voters on both sides were, for the most part, found to be similarly susceptible to the cognitive biases tested, specifically ideological motivated reasoning, framing and the Dunning-Kruger effect."
"Next Steps
We are currently working through the completion of a formal paper and will be presenting results at the International Conference on Political Psychology in Copenhagen."
Side-question: Shouldn't you/we be pitying thick people for their (expected) poor choices, instead of laughing/sneering/cheering at the potential hurt and pain they've caused themselves?

At least you've toned down the pomposity of 'all' to merely the contempt of 'many of' those 17 million.
Tell me, when were those 17 million people interviewed about the reasons behind their votes? (the link from NlyUk was 11205/17000000 and we assume half of those were remainers)
Do you have any evidence they not only 'believed headlines such as these', but also that it was the only factor in voting for them?
Thought not.
Rant away, but don't dress up your beliefs as facts and then try to stereotype/generalise based on those same beliefs.Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

Originally posted by Bean View PostA correlation in the results of a web-based survey etc, that was 0.06591% (11205) of the 17 million - careful you don't try and ascribe causation, given the statistically insignificant low sample size (in proportion to the target group)!
That being said, I did laugh at this gem on that website you linked;
Neuroticism- from wiki:
Yep, that's pretty much remainers alright
Then, for a laugh, I carried on reading and found;
So there we have it - according to this currently informal study, both sides are susceptible to specifically ideological motivated reasoning, framing, etc.
Sooooo, not yet peer-reviewed?

FWIW I was so disgusted by a lot of what I saw on read on their FB pages that after 40+ years of knowing these people I had to defriend them. Not because they voted out, but the racist and xenophobic posts.
So yes I do have evidence and yes I do believe these headlines influenced voting.

Us Brexiters are wondering when everyone is going home because there aren't any jobs. Or when we need to take our wheelbarrow down the bakers due to inflation.
Its all just you wait, you will be sorry when your dad gets home/ you finally leave/ when the sky falls in.....Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
