Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : If an issue threatens our group identity or membership -- if a debate about gun laws and crime rates isn't just a policy debate but a proxy battle between my people and those people -- then we engage in motivated reasoning and talk past each other, if we talk to each other at all.
24% : But when they gave the same subjects a math problem with a political element -- it involved the question of whether gun control laws affect urban crime rates -- conservatives who were good at math repeatedly got the answer wrong if the right answer showed that gun laws helped reduce crime, while liberals with strong math skills got it wrong if the correct answer showed that gun laws do not reduce crime.
