But the most talked-about speech at this year\u2019s meeting, which ended Jan. 30, involved a new \u201coutgroup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was identified by Jonathan Haidt, a social psychologist at the University of Virginia who studies the intuitive foundations of morality and ideology. He polled his audience at the San Antonio Convention Center, starting by asking how many considered themselves politically liberal. A sea of hands appeared, and Dr. Haidt estimated that liberals made up 80 percent of the 1,000 psychologists in the ballroom. When he asked for centrists and libertarians, he spotted fewer than three dozen hands. And then, when he asked for conservatives, he counted a grand total of three.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a statistically impossible lack of diversity,\u201d Dr. Haidt concluded, noting polls showing that 40 percent of Americans are conservative and 20 percent are liberal. In his speech and in an interview, Dr. Haidt argued that social psychologists are a \u201ctribal-moral community\u201d united by \u201csacred values\u201d that hinder research and damage their credibility \u2014 and blind them to the hostile climate they\u2019ve created for non-liberals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnywhere in the world that social psychologists see women or minorities underrepresented by a factor of two or three, our minds jump to discrimination as the explanation,\u201d said Dr. Haidt, who called himself a longtime liberal turned centrist. \u201cBut when we find out that conservatives are underrepresented among us by a factor of more than 100, suddenly everyone finds it quite easy to generate alternate explanations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To read more, visit:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/02\/08\/science\/08tier.html?src=me&amp;ref=homepage\">http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/02\/08\/science\/08tier.html?src=me&amp;ref=homepage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By JOHN TIERNEY, The New York Times SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Some of the world\u2019s pre-eminent experts on bias discovered an unexpected form of it at their annual meeting.
