Conservatives Believe Their Lives are More Meaningful Than Liberals...

Here is a typical liberal feeding frenzy of turning on their own.
Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook is very liberal. But he believes everyone should have a voice on facebook, even people who he doesn't agree with. You know, tolerance. Free Speech. All that liberal stuff liberals are supposed to be for?
Well apparently not! The liberal piranhas have turned against him for merely saying that he is for such values on facebook.
So basically since he said he will allow Holocaust deniers to post on facebook, he is apparently a Nazi himself now. The liberal media is having a field day with this.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

The original study is behind a paywall, so I can't share it with you.
I read the results of the various studies, and they seem fairly robust. They did adequate controls for religiosity and where the persons lived as well, and replicated the findings using results from European surveys. I'd love to see someone else duplicate the findings (there seriously isn't enough replication in science), but at least on a first hand perspective it seems a sound enough result.
I'm rather curious about what it means.
It should be noted that what they were discussing specifically was meaningfulness of life, and not satisfaction with life, which are two different but slightly correlated values. The correlation for satisfaction with life was not as strong as the reports about meaningfulness of life, though there was still a weak correlation.
Before reading this study I was pretty sure it would just show that it was the religiosity that was the cause, but that it remained significantly (albiet somewhat weaker) even after that had been controlled for is a bit surprising to me.
The researchers themselves are a bit careful about possible conclusions.

If you wanted to move to a nice socialist country like Russia, where you would feel more at home, you would need to contact their immigration department, apply for a VISA, and then apply for permanent status in order to move there. If you snuck across the border, you would probably end up in prison awaiting a prisoner exchange to get back to Australia, or just be shot.

In a discussion with a friend of mine about this strange split between reporting satisfaction of life, which didn't track with being a conservative (at least not nearly as strongly) and reporting meaningfulness of life, we talked about the midwestern workers. It made me think of grand father who was a farmer, and a very hard life and put six children into the world. "We didn't have much money, but there was plenty to eat." My father would say about that life. They were proud of what they had accomplished.
My grandfather on my mothers side was a factory worker, coming from a long line of hard workers too, which he took a great deal of pride in. And maybe its just that pride in work that's shining through in those reports.
I'm speculating out the wazoo here of course. Take it with a big grain of salt.
This describes my grandfather to a tee.
