Check this out from the findings.

“Kids who turned into bleeding hearts were “self-reliant, energetic and resilient,” as tykes, according to the study.

The conservative kids felt easily victimized, “indecisive, fearful, rigid, inhibited, and relatively over-controlled and vulnerable,” according to the 16-page document published in the Journal of Research in Personality”

So this study claims that kids who are confident and self-reliant grow up to favor welfare and other social welfare programs and safety nets while the fearful and vulnerable kids grow up to favor more self-reliance and less government intervention? Doesn’t make sense.
