On election day, where do you vote? If it’s in a church, you might be inclined to vote more conservatively than if you cast your ballot 1 at a school or government building. That’s according to reserch published in the international journal for the psychology 2 of religion. And the effect seems to hold, whether you are christian 3 or agnostic, progressive independent or conservative. The study found that when people were surveyed in front of a church, they gave more socially and politically conservative responses than people surveyed while standing 4 in front of a government building. The shift in people’s attitude, the reserchers suggest, was likely a result of visual priming, meaing that people who could see the religious building were consciously or not, getting cues that influenced their response. The surveys were conducted in Europe. So it’s possible American voters might write differently. But the suvey included subjects from more than 30 countries to try to minimize a particular national bias 5. So, before you cast your vote this election year, think about whether your view is influencing your views.
