Are liberals and conservatives just taking different routes to happiness?
Business Insider: Yes. Liberalism increases the chance people will feel good. Conservatism makes people less likely to feel bad: Research shows that political conservatives are happier than liberals [Napier, J. L., & Jost, J. T. (2008). Why are conservatives happier than liberals? Psychological Science, 19, 565–572]. Relevant theory and evidence suggest that political conservatism and liberalism might be differentially related to components of happiness [(Diener, E. (1984). Subjective well-being.Psychological Bulletin, 95, 542–575); life satisfaction, positive affect and negative affect].
