Does anyone have access to the journal of Legal and crinimilogical psychology? I can't find the source paper...

The journal is published on February and September and there is no article by a Stephen Porter in the most recent issue (Feb 2012) Perhaps it will be published 'officially' in September?

And if you are interested I think this is the original source of the news article:
http://www.bps.org.uk/news/emotional-intelligence-and-spotting-lies

Thanks neb!

'Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at discriminating between truths and lies, people with a higher ability to perceive and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies. ' (EI -Emotional Intelligence)

Now i'm confused...

heey I have found the way, they did make it available. I may send it to your gmail if you wish? It is jsut 14 pages...

Gmail on my profile

Awesome thanks!

<lights rags...tosses flaming bottle of gasoline...> OK...in general I think it is fair to say that Liberals tend to be more "feelings" based in their assessment of policy. This is fair, that isn't fair, blah blah, they talk about feelings much more so than Conservatives, whom are generally accused to being cold-hearted. Annnnnnd the logical conclusion in conjunction with this "article": Conservatives are better at spotting lies, and therefore less duped by the bad policy offerings of the Left, etc etc etc...This is why Liberalism fails. Hell, look at Putin's posts - full of emotional rational for why he supports the things he supports....and what does he support? And *utterly* failed form of government. He can't spot the lie....

This might be the stupidest pile of undefined terms and unjustifiable assumptions you've ever managed to cram into one paragraph. Congratulations.

He tells you he is rolling with the whole fuel to the fire and you*still* respond to him. Hellalt +1 forth great troll.

Except it's not a troll because we all know KRELLIN (not hellalt) well enough to know he means that, even if he intentionally phrased it to be antagonistic. feel free to try again though

Krellin, you are basing your assumption on the idea the emotional intelligence coorelates with one's place on the political spectrum.

There are coorelations between political spectrum and various personality traits - but this hasn't been shown. That combined with the state here that it is only a component of emotional intelligence which correlates with over-confidence in how people think they can detect lies - not that they are more easily conn'd, just that they are more confident of their position...

Sorry to hellalt. I meant krellin. But he wanted you to react and you did.

lol God...that was fun. Now, President Eden is an example of an *emotional* response that failed to acknowledge the truth of the situation. That was perfect.

@Orthaic...as I stated, I am basing my "assumptions" in this thinly veiled, self-admitted trolling event that Liberals are a bunch of whiny, "feelings-oriented" emotional pansies that deny such things as Financial Truths....you know, like if you tax a business out of existence, it won't be there to support your social welfare programs. It FEELS right...it FEELS good....it gives them positive emotional feedback...to pass "tax the rich policies"....but the truth is they have failed, and it's obvious. The "War on Poverty" is a feel-good emotionally-based economic program from the left that has been ab *abject* failure. Why does it still exist? Because emotion has shrouded the truth in the minds of liberals.

I'm not saying that every liberal is emotional or visa-versa....but on a purely anecdotal basis, Liberals base policy on what feels good, and Conservatives don't....THIS is why Conservatives are called cold hearted bastards when they want to cut funding to programs because the TRUTH of the financials is the there is no money to fund anything with!

But....bottom line...I was trolling....but yes, I believe on a superficial level what I have stated, and am amused an all heck that President Eden was shump enough to be a good Lib rise to the fight.

Told ya' all. I know when krellin is yanking chains, drunk, or dead serious. This was chain yanking 101 fro the krellmiester.

lol Sober, by the way. :)

Is it weird I imagine krellin hopping/jumping in a circle, clapping his hands and laughing/giggling?

'Liberals base policy on what feels good' and how does this tendancy equate with emotional intelligence in your mind?

* that should say 'warped little'

No wait, i shouldb't lower myself to his level :-/

No wait that's still way above his level...

Ahahaha ... You know what, i think if someone had killed John Connor any time before skynet had seny the Terminator back to kill John Connor, skynet would never have existed!!!

This is so dumb. Of course krellin is going to say he was trolling even though everyone here knows better, and of course Draugnar is going to give him props for no good reason. Of course they're going to claim it was an "emotional reaction" when it's obviously anything but, and of course they'll never acknowledge that they're wrong. Now do y'all mind allowing the adults to discuss this?

And while we're at it, lol @ use of the word "liberals." Virtually everyone in the United States is "liberal" if you actually use the word correctly, instead of the form talk radio shock jock morons butchered into some half-assed insult or slur. But please, continue to contribute to the dumbing down of the political discourse, it's done our country SO MUCH GOOD.

President Eden....your EMOTIONAL outbursts here simply continue to make my points regarding the idiocy of Liberals. Keep it up! <jumps around in circles, clapping hands, waiting for PE's next post. You missed that I occassionally make whooopeeee cheers, too>

As for your own misinterpretation of the word Liberal....yes, you are right....EVERYONE in the country is using the word wrong and only a secret cabal of smarties like you know it's proper usage....lol That was funny. Do it again! Do it again!!!

Draug....make the funny Eden do it again...pleeeeeeeease!!!

President Eden....of course I will say Im' trolling when I open my statement with "obvious troll is trolling" kind of statement. You know....it's like when you make a joke and use :) or some such emoticon to convey that fact incase it was missed. The funny thing is, your are so hell bent on being angry....if I had NOT announced my trolling intent you no doubt would be accusing me of being a troll! lol Too funny....

@krellin - Yes, I knew you were sober (your post was coherent even if the logic failed -intentionally, I know-. When you are drunk you scream and curse more.

Since you're struggling with reading comprehension again, I went ahead and hashed out all your bullshit in my last post. The idea was that you had your piece and you can take your ball and go play in the sandbox over there now while the rest of us try to have a constructive conversation.

As for liberalism. Web definition's here, to give a baseline:

"A political orientation that favors social progress by reform and by changing laws rather than by revolution."

As I said, virtually everyone in the US is a liberal by that definition. Of course, it goes further, and has more meaning than that (as that's not really saying much). Liberalism calls for constitutional, democratic (whether in the form of a republic or democracy) governance and protections of basic human freedoms, like expression of religion, free speech, and - get this - property rights in a capitalist society. Even those dreaded European 'socialists' are capitalists - just capitalists with a level of state intervention that you and I would find unacceptable. So yes, even by that much more qualified definition, virtually everyone is a 'liberal.'

Being a liberal doesn't mean you can't also be conservative. In fact, as conservatism is a relative ideology, and liberalism an absolute ideology - that is, conservatism defines itself relative to a time period, whereas liberalism is a set of static ideas - it is entirely incoherent to set conservatism and liberalism as opposites.

Also, I love how in any other thread I'd have been dismissed as just trolling, but in this one I magically swing the opposite direction and am incapable of understanding or spotting trolling or discerning between people who don't believe the inflammatory bullshit they spout and people who do. Gotta love that consistency.

@orathaic - Conner brought down skynet. He didn't create it. So even if they went iback to the WWII and killed his great grandpa on his mom's side so she was never born, skynet would still have been created... Except it was the guy researching chip from the first terminator that rersulted in skynet's creation. Just a small paradox there.

PE....your like a spider and I'm a mean kid with a magnifying glass on a sunny day...toying with you, laughing every time you walk through my deadly beam again!

You idiotic rant about how liberals can be conservative....lol Comedy GOLD my friend. Keep it up. Normally you have to buy a ticket to witness such things.

I think what is really bothering you is the scientific discovery that you are easily duped and suddenly realized that you are a mindless slave to a broken ideology. I know that must be very tough to swallow, especially on a Friday night when you were hoping to be having fun. <sigh...> I almost feel bad for making you so sad....
