conservative women=more happier

What do your studies change about the fact that anyway how the majority of other people do, I am the person that I am, and I´d not be happy in an conservative relationship? If you dont like football, does it help you, that 80% of other males like it? ^^

Maybe Republicans are happy because they don't worry about anything.
Liberals worry about climate change,human rights,and stuff that really matters,not a fat bank roll.

Neither of those are legitimate peer reviewed journals. Therefore, whatever you have gleaned from them is non-empirical and thus invalid. It may behove one to become a good consumer of information prior to posting embarrassing, "data" while using a glaring double superlative in the title of the same post. With that said, I think there may be validity to your hypothesis. However, the causal variables might not be particularly flattering for a social conservative. As a scientist I am excruciatingly aware. I do not base my ideas on mythology nor am I stuck at Kohlberg's first level of moral development. Knowing as opposed to blindly believing is a precarious psychological state to be in when your country is run by ignorant Young Earth Christians. I am not as happy-go-lucky as a person who has an unyielding stagnate view of the world. If an individual does not seek, their world is small and easily managed. For those few who do seek their universe is infinite and in constant peril at the hands of the obtuse.

This person is very conservative

Doesn't seem very happy though

... just for the lulz:

In 2013, the UN released the "World Happiness Report" where they ranked countries on the basis of happiness (by using Gallup survey data).

Here is the top 10 (from page 22 in the above link):

1. Denmark
2. Norway
3. Switzerland
4. Netherlands
5. Sweden
6. Canada
7. Finland
8. Austria
9. Iceland
10. Australia

(The United States is at # 17)

Furthermore, here are the 10 least religious countries in the world (a likely indicator of low levels of conservatism):

1. Sweden
2. Denmark
3. Estonia
4. Norway
5. Hong Kong
6. Netherlands
7. Japan
8. Czech Republic
9. United Kingdom
10. Finland

(the United States is at # 42)

Countries in bold are the ones who also make it to the Happiness Top 10 list.

So the "Conservative Happiness Hypothesis" (recently advanced by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt in his book The Righteous Mind) seems to encounter a very serious obstacle once international data is included.
