Are Conservatives Healthier Than Liberals?
Submitted by: Terry Payne

“Despite these concerns, I think the study raises some interesting issues. Previous research has found that people who self-identify as conservatives tend to be somewhat higher on the personality trait of conscientiousness than those identifying as liberals (Fatke, 2017). This relationship tends to be stronger for social conservatism but also applies to some extent to economic conservatism. Conscientiousness is related to the extent to which one tends to follow socially prescribed norms concerning impulse control, follow rules, be self-disciplined and task-focused, plan ahead, and be willing to delay gratification (Roberts, Walton, & Bogg, 2005). Perhaps not surprisingly, conscientiousness is related to longer life expectancy and to health-related behaviors. Specifically, people high in conscientiousness are less likely to smoke, tend to drink in moderation or to abstain, eat healthier foods, avoid taking recreational drugs, and are less likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors (Bogg & Roberts, 2004), all of which can enhance one’s health. On the other hand, people low in conscientiousness are more likely to engage in hazardous behaviors, including risky driving and violence.”-- © Scott McGreal

After watching the short audio clip (posted below), we believe you will be excited about supporting Maria Berry for the Texas State Board of Education. She (and her husband) are deeply committed Christians, and we need so badly for her to be a Godly leader on the Board because of the tremendous influence that these 15 SBOE members wield over children’s lives.
