it’s hardly a surprise. LOTS of people have noted that Lefty parents tend to be significantly higher in neuroticism. OTHER studies have shown that–it is well-known. It’s a Lefty political philosophy hazard.
Lefty parents tend to be chronically worried about a lot more things and as a result are almost always more “helicoptery.” They tend to ONLY allow highly supervised play-dates and such. So the kids tend to adopt that fearful, never-be-injured-or-it’s-a-catastrophe mindset.
So on average, conservative parents do a better job of raising their children than liberals. And it is doubly good news, since conservative parents, on average, also have more children than liberals. So congratulate yourselves!
