Additional Information for HW1, Section 3
General Differences between conservatives and liberals:
HIBBING: Well, we tend to see that there are differences in tastes. Conservatives do like meat and
potatoes more. Liberals are more likely to prefer ethnic food. So you see that. And that, we think, is
part of a deeper pattern of conservatives are a little bit fonder of kind of predictability, of standard
kinds of things. And liberals are a little bit more willing to experiment. And this comes through in food
tastes and a variety of other things.
Living and Work Space Differences of liberals and conservatives?
HIBBING: Well, conservatives tended to have lots of things like sports memorabilia, whereas liberals
tended to have more experiential things – lots of books, lots of CDs, especially diverse CDs, whereas
conservatives were more likely to have things that organized their lives – calendars, clothes baskets.

conservatives were more likely to have things that organized their lives – calendars, clothes baskets.
Also, the researchers suggested the liberals’ rooms were not quite as tidy or as well-lighted as the
conservative rooms and offices.
Differences in preferences for different kinds of pets.
HIBBING: Different kinds of dogs – it tends to be the case that conservatives prefer purebreds. And
liberals will go with mixed-breed dogs. There are some studies that suggest how you view pets – there
isn’t that much difference in how many have pets. Both liberals and conservatives like to have pets at
about equal level. But they might view them somewhat differently. Liberals are a little bit more likely to
view them as part of the family rather than, you know, just a pet. So you have those kinds of very
interesting things, not just in pet ownership, but kind of in orientation to the pet.
3.1A Tell me how the research discussed in the article reflects your political orientation. Tie to
material in the article.
