Conservatives are significantly more likely than liberals to say they are “
very happy” about their lives, and American Enterprise Institute President
Arthur C. Brooks believes he knows why.
Writing in The New York Times, Brooks disclosed that “scholars on both the
left and right” agree that “it is conservatives who possess the happiness
edge.”
One study cited by Brooks, by the Pew Research Center, found that
conservative Republicans were 68 percent more likely than liberal Democrats
to say they were “very happy” about their lives.
He adds that most conservatives explain the happiness edge by focusing on
lifestyle differences, such as marriage and faith.
“Marriage and happiness go together,” said Brooks, author of “The Road to
Freedom.”
And “religious participants are nearly twice as likely to say they are very
happy about their lives as are secularists.” |
