Oxytocin Inochinja Zvematongerwo enyika Zvaunoda

Kana vakabvunzwa, vanhu vanopa zvikonzero zvakasimba nei vachizvizivisa semaDemocrat, maRepublican, maIndependent, kana nhengo dzeimwe bato rezvematongerwo enyika. Asi kutsvagisa kunoitwa nemasayendisiti ezvematongerwo enyika John Alford, Cary Funk, naJohn Hibbing kunoratidza kuti ingangoita hafu yekusiyana kwezvematongerwo enyika pane vanhu zvakagadziriswa.

Asi ko imwe hafu? Lab rangu rakamhanyisa kuyedza kuti ndione kana zvematongerwo enyika zvaisanduka. Mhedzisiro yacho yakatishamisa.

Tsvagurudzo yangu ndiyo yaive yekutanga kuona iro basa reiyo neurochemical oxytocin mune hunhu maitiro. Ini ndinodaidza oxytocin "mamorekuru etsika" nekuti zvinoita kuti tive nehanya nevamwe - kunyangwe nevasingazive - munzira dzinooneka. Asi oxytocin yaizoita kuti vanhu vafarire munhu wezvematongerwo enyika kubva kune rimwe bato?

Munguva yemwaka wepurezidhendi wepurezidhendi wa2008, ini nevamwe vangu takapa synthetic oxytocin kana placebo kuvadzidzi makumi masere vevadzidzi vekoreji vaive vakazvizivisa semaDemocrats, maRepublicans, kana maIndependent (vakadzi vakasiyiwa nekuda kwekuti oxetocin zvinokanganisa zvinochinja pamwedzi). Mushure meawa, oxytocin yakakwana inopinda muuropi kuitira kuti vanhu vawedzere kuvimba, nerupo, uye kunzwira vamwe tsitsi. Asi zvematongerwo enyika zvinotiparadzanisa nevamwe, sezvakaratidzwa naJonathan Haidt mubhuku rake rinonzi The Righteous Mind: Nei Vanhu Vakanaka Vakamanikidzwa Nezvamatongerwo Enyika neChitendero, saka takanga tisina chokwadi kana oxytocin yaizove nemhedzisiro.

Kuedza kwanga kuri nyore: Rate kubva pa0 kusvika zana manzwiro aunoita kune vezvematongerwo enyika semutungamiri weU.S.

Isu takaona kuti maDemocrat pane oxytocin aive nemanzwiro akadziya kune vese vanoda kukwikwidza muRepublican kupfuura maDemocrat akagamuchira placebo, kusanganisira 30 muzana yekudziya kwaJohn McCain, 28 muzana yekusimudzira kwaRudy Giuliani, uye 25 muzana kukwira kwaMitt Romney.

Kune maRepublicans, hapana. Oxytocin haina kuvaita kuti vatsigire Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, kana John Edwards. Vekuzvimiririra vakavhiringidzika, asi oxytocin yakavatamisa zvishoma kuDemocratic Party.

Tichibaya mune iyo data zvakadzama, takaona kuti havasi vese maDemocrat pane oxytocin aidziya akananga kuGOP asi chete avo vakasununguka vakabatana nebato. Vadaidze kuti veDemocratic swing voter, asi chokwadi ndechekuti maRepublican swing vavhoti havaigona kufambiswa zvakafanana.

Zvatinowana zvinowirirana nezvidzidzo zvinoratidza kuti maDemocrat anowanzo kuve asina kugadzikana mumaonero avo, nepo maRepublicans achinetseka zvakanyanya nezve kuchengetedzeka uye nekuwedzeredzwa kushushikana kupindura mushure mekushushikana kusingatarisirwe.

Kunyangwe zvingave zvisina hunhu kune vezvematongerwo enyika kumwaya oxytocin mumhepo pamisangano yezvematongerwo enyika, kutsvagurudza uku kunopa chinangwa kune veRepublican strategists kukwezva veDemocratic voter: shandira kunzwira tsitsi uye kuvimba margins. Romney anofanira kuratidza anotaurika uye akavimbika panguva yega yega yekutaridzika kwevanhu.
