In the world of political psychology, there tend to be a lot of questions surrounding one’s well-being and whether there’s any correlation with their political ideology. Political statistician and analyst Nate Silver recently dug into 2022 data on the subject matter, which seemed to imply that conservatives reported better well-being than more liberal-minded respondents. Yet, the data from the Cooperative Election Study (CES), and its sample of 60,000 respondents may actually be a bit more complex. As Tufts University professor Brian Schaffner shares in findings he shared in April, the responses seem to be tied more with the language applied in the questions as opposed to an inherent difference. So what are the main takeaways from such research? And is there any correlation between a person’s well-being and political affiliations? Joining us to answer these questions is Brian Schaffner, to help make sense of the research he’s conducted surrounding this.
