Highway6 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 (CBS) This commentary was written by CBSNews.com's Dick Meyer.Is political persuasion mostly useless? Is the percentage of people essentially immune to rational argument about political things increasing?A psychologist in Atlanta and a business school professor in Syracuse, N.Y., have interesting observations on these sorts of questions from the entirely different perspectives of neuroscience and public opinion research. The good news may be that the partisan lout in your office who absolutely will not listen to reason may not be at fault; he may just be a slave to his ventromedial prefrontal cortex. The bad news is that these louts may be becoming more prevalent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
