It was great to work on this project with @b_schaffner @THershewe. We find that conservatives give better responses when asked about their “mental health” compared to their mood. Interestingly, the pattern is the opposite for liberals who give a poorer assessment of their mental health than of their mood.

New study: Research shows liberals have worse mental health than conservatives. But what if you ask about "mood" to avoid possible conservative stigma around "mental health" issues? A: "When respondents were asked to assess their mood, the gap between liberals and conservatives disappeared. Conservatives were actually somewhat less likely than liberals to provide a highly positive rating of their overall mood."
