Right vs. Left Wingers and wearing masks

Clearly, the right wingers are way smarter and cooler because they don't wear masks!


Here's some of the juicy quotes:

US and UK researchers found those to the right of the political spectrum were most likely to find masks “shameful” or “not cool”.

“Our data show that right-wing leaning people intend to wear a face mask less than left-wing leaning people. Interestingly, this difference is particularly strong in US counties where wearing a face mask is not mandatory. In counties where wearing a face mask is mandatory, left-leaning people are still more likely than right-leaning people to wear a face mask, but the difference across the political divide is much smaller, and almost non-existent.

The researchers also found that men are less likely wear face masks than women, and more inclined to see wearing one as “shameful” and a “sign of weakness”. People are much more likely to wear face masks if they rely on reasoning instead of emotion, they also say.

Ya, really.  Thats funny - and totally damning!  It requires reasoning to choose a mask and yet the men are less likely to wear one.

But really everyone is silly, women included.  Look at all the natty designs people have come up with for face masks, to the point that some of them look positively alluring on the right face, and yet the underlying reason people are so reluctant to wear them is it's uncomfortable to have the flow of air impeded.   Where's the natty lightweight designs for filters to make breathing with a mask a lot easier?  oh right, it'd make you look like Darth Vader or maybe that space invading slug from the Dr Who series.  fair enough.  it's a tough equation to balance - virus, air, attractiveness.

Narcissism and psychopathy linked to defiance of coronavirus prevention



Psychologists love fancy names, and the Dark Triad is no exception. The triad refers to the personality traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism (a psychological trait centered on interpersonal manipulation and moral indifference) and it’s a fitting description. Although it’s not as simple These are indeed dark, malevolent personality traits, what normal people would tend to call “not a nice person”. People scoring high on these traits tend to be less compassionate and empathetic, and as it turns out, also tend to care less about pandemic prevention.

In one of the studies, led by Magdalena Zemojtel-Piotrowska, the authors note that Dark Triad traits are associated with less prevention and more hoarding (remember the toilet paper hoarding from a few months ago?).
