Intelligence and the Rationality of Political Preferences Intelligence 69 (July-August 2018): 59-70. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289617303392 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): General Social Survey (GSS); I.Q.; Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT); Political Attitudes/Behaviors/Efficacy; Wisconsin Longitudinal Study/H.S. Panel Study (WLS) I study the relationship between intelligence and the rationality of political preferences. Intelligence is operationalized as achievement in standard mental ability tests, rationality as consistency between political attitudes and political preferences and consistency as the effect of the interaction between intelligence and political attitudes on political preferences. Political preferences are measured by party affiliation -- support for the Democratic versus the Republican Party in the US -- and political attitudes are measured on a conservative-liberal dimension. I analyze three large representative American databases [and] I conclude with a discussion of possible causal processes underlying the observed relationship between intelligence and consistency of political attitudes. |
