To be clear this study is a meta-analysis. It means it is not one study but a combination of data from many studies. Study after study has shown conservative people and children tend to be happier and have fewer issues with mental health. It isn't shocking since the core of conservatism is stability and that is what children need to be successful. We provide them with the tools in life to control their destiny versus being a victim all the time. Their success is their own making vs some outside even being their destiny.
Sorry error on my part, they cited a meta-analysis.
A recent meta-analysis finds that an insecure attachment in early childhood strongly predicts the onset of major depression in childhood and adolescence.
The results—summarized in meta-analyses—are clear: Authoritative parenting predicts fewer mental health problems and delinquent behavior, both at the time of measurement and in the future. Both harsh and overly permissive parenting predicts higher risk of mental health problems and problematic behaviors, as does neglectful parenting.
That is a large part of happiness.

It is very well known conservatives are happier than liberals, they give more to charity and have better sex lives.

I explained why but let's not take my word for it. Let's look at the research.

For the most part, we do. That’s why so many people flock here from other countries. I grew up poor, I joined the national guard, paid for my undergraduate, graduate degree, they paid for most my medical school. Between the national guard and army, I came out owing next to nothing from college. I went into technology and made even more money. I worked at a swat doctor to supplement my income. The opportunities are there if you are willing to work hard and a reasonably intelligent. Now yes the wealthy may have it easier but anyone can come wealthy if they just do something of value and expand on something. Liberals want the government to hand them success. Conservatives want the chance to build their success
Companies use to pay for college. I knew people who started at IBM after high school. The company thought they had potential and sent them to college. They paid for college, and I think half their salary. In return they’re stay at IBM and become management or some other job that needed a degree. I think that’s one of the largest changes I’ve seen
