Donkey versus Elephant

Today, I was directed to this interesting article from a newspaper located in the UK.

It presents an interesting look into how conservative beliefs can be formed, however, I still find that it is slightly narrow minded. Even though the researchers claim, "The authors, presumably aware of the outrage they were likely to trigger, added a disclaimer that their study 'does not mean that conservatism is pathological or that conservative beliefs are necessarily false'," it seems to me as if the researchers were looking for a way to define a thought process they could not relate with on their own.
