Researchers Admit “Minor Error” in Correcting Paper that Linked Conservatives to Authoritarianism
“Minor error,” huh? Okay.
The correction came three years after the paper claimed social liberals were linked with “Social Desirability,” and conservatives with authoritarianism.
The paper “Correlation not Causation: The Relationship Between Personality Traits and Political Ideologies” was released in October 2013. The researchers admitted the results were “exactly reversed,” in a correction in January, which was first reported by Power Line Blog.
