BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Political views 'all in the mind'

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Political views 'all in the mind': "Scientists studying voters in the US say our political views may be an integral part of our physical makeup.

Their research, published in the journal Science, indicates that people who are sensitive to fear or threat are likely to support a right wing agenda.

Those who perceived less danger in a series of images and sounds were more inclined to support liberal policies.

The authors believe their findings may help to explain why voters' minds are so hard to change."
