From another study (see wiki entry for amygdala):

Here's the psychological profile of liberals/leftists:

They have low self-esteem and a feeling of an inability to cope with life.  Therefore, they are always looking for a strong government to solve their problems, take care of them, and resolve their screwups.  They have a child-like notion that government should give them everything they can't get themselves.  They look at government as sort of a Great White Father.  They have many paranoid obsessions, such as that corporations are out to get them.  They envy, hate and fear rich people.  They are control freaks with no love for liberty - they want the government to control everything, because otherwise (they obsessively fear) something bad will happen to them.  They think government should create a fantasy world for them which pretends they've achieved something, when they haven't ("affirmative action").  They are easily persuaded of anything by simple demogoguery and tend to understand little about such as history and economics.
