"Conservatives Happier Than Liberals"

Did anyone else read this article from the blog's news feed? I felt that it was definitely a biased article. (Did anyone else feel that way?) In it, the author says that conservatives possess the ability to better rationalize inequalities in society. In return, conservatives are better able to live happier lives.

As a side note, it briefly mentioned the topic of "egalitarian women" and how they tend to be less happy than women in more traditional marriages. (It provided a link to another article that went into more detail about the subject. I found it to be an interesting read.)

I read a similar version of this article on CNN.com

I don't really think that the article you cited presented the facts as clearly as this one did. Either way I believe the study is an interesting look into the minds of the people that support the different political ideologies. It would also be interesting to look at other political ideologies such as communism and socialism.
