一项发表在《国际宗教心理学杂志》上的研究表明，在教堂投票的人可能会比在学校或政府大楼投票的人更加保守。无论受访者的宗教信仰如何，这种效应似乎都存在。研究发现，在教堂前随机调查的人们给出的社会和政治立场更偏保守。这种态度的变化可能是视觉提示的结果。
Where You Vote May Affect How You Vote
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 at a school or government building.
That's according to research published in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion.
And the effect seems to hold, whether you're Christian, Muslim or agnostic, progressive, independent or conservative.
The study found that when random people were surveyed in front of a church, they gave more socially and politically conservative responses than people surveyed while standing in front of a government building.
The shift in people's attitudes, the researchers suggest, was likely a result of visual priming, ...
... meaning 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 react differently.
But the survey included subjects from more than 30 countries to try to minimize a particular national bias.
So before you cast your vote this election year, think about whether your view is influencing your views.
