Hoʻololi ʻo Oxytocin i nā makemake politika

Ke nīnau ʻia, hāʻawi nā kānaka i nā kumu paʻa e hōʻike ai iā lākou iho he Democrats, Republicans, Independents, a he lālā paha o kekahi ʻaoʻao politika ʻē aʻe. Eia naʻe ka noiʻi a nā ʻepekema politika ʻo John Alford, Cary Funk, a me John Hibbing e hōʻike nei he aneane hoʻokahi hapalua o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā makemake politika ma waena o kēlā me kēia kanaka.

Akā, pehea e pili ana i ka hapalua ʻē aʻe? Ua hoʻokolohua kaʻu keʻena hoʻokolohua e ʻike inā he loli nā makemake politika. Ua pīhoihoi nā hopena iā mākou.

ʻO kaʻu noiʻi ka mea mua e ʻike i ke kuleana o ka neurochemical oxytocin i loko o nā hana pono. Kāhea wau i ka oxytocin i ka "mole moleka" no ka mea mālama ia iā mākou e pili ana i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe - a i ʻole nā ​​malihini - i nā ʻano kūwaha. Akā e hana ka oxytocin i ka poʻe e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i kahi moho politika mai kahi ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe?

I ka wā pelekikena pelekikena ʻo 2008, ua lawelawe wau a me kaʻu mau hoapili i ka oxytocin synthetic a i ʻole kahi placebo i 88 mau haumāna o ke koleke kāne i kapa ʻia lākou iho he Democrats, Republicans, a me nā Independents (ua kāpae ʻia nā wahine no ka mea ua loli nā hopena o ka oxytocin ma ke ʻano o ka menstrual cycle). Ma hope o hoʻokahi hola, lawa ka oxytocin i loko o ka lolo e hilinaʻi nui ai, lokomaikaʻi, a empathic i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. Akā hoʻokaʻawale ka politika iā mākou mai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, e like me kā Jonathan Haidt i hōʻike ai i kāna puke ʻo The Mind Right Mind: No ke aha e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka poʻe maikaʻi e nā politika a me nā hoʻomana, no laila ʻaʻole maopopo iā mākou inā he hopena ka oxytocin.

Maʻalahi ka hoʻokolohua: Loipālākiō mai 0 a 100 i kou aloha i nā luna politika e like me ka pelekikena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kou ʻahaʻōlelo, a me nā mea e holo ana i nā pelekikena pelekikena ākea ākea no nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua.

Ua ʻike mākou he mau manaʻo hoʻomehana nā Democrats ma ka oxytocin i nā moho Repubalika āpau ma mua o ka poʻe Democrats i loaʻa kahi placebo, e like me ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka mahana he 30 pākēneka no John McCain, he 28 pākēneka hoʻonui no Rudy Giuliani, a he 25 pākēneka piʻi no Mitt Romney.

No nā Repubalika, ʻaʻohe mea. ʻAʻole i hana ʻo Oxytocin iā lākou i kākoʻo nui iā Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, a i ʻole John Edwards. Ua hele a wīwī ka poʻe kūʻokoʻa, akā ua neʻe iki kahi oxytocin iā lākou i ka Demokalaka ʻAoʻao.

Ke ʻeli nei i ka ʻike hohonu, ua ʻike mākou ʻaʻole nā ​​Democrats āpau ma ka oxytocin i hoʻomehana i ka GOP akā ʻo ka poʻe wale nō i pili i ka pāʻina. Kāhea iā lākou he poʻe koho balota Temokalaka, akā ʻo ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole hiki ke neʻe like me ka poʻe koho balota Republican.

Kūlike kā mākou mea i loaʻa me nā noiʻi e hōʻike ana i ka lawaiʻa ʻana o ka Democrats i ko lākou mau manaʻo, ʻoiai ʻo Republicans ke hopohopo nui nei e pili ana i ka palekana a ua hoʻonui ʻia ka hopena o ke koʻikoʻi ma hope o ka pilikia i manaʻo ʻole ʻia.

ʻOiai he kūpono ʻole ia no ka poʻe kālaiʻāina e pīpī i ka oxytocin i ka lewa i nā ʻaha kūkā politika, hāʻawi kēia noiʻi i kahi pahuhopu no nā Strategist Republican e huki i nā poʻe koho balota Demokarata: hana i ka palena haʻahaʻa a me nā hilinaʻi hilinaʻi. Pono ʻo Romney e hōʻike maʻalahi ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia helehelena lehulehu.
