Is the tendency to share with other people linked to political orientation? And in which way? In a new study, researchers from the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and University of Milan Bicocca show that around the world left-leaning people are more inclined to be altruistic, in general and towards the international community. On the other hand, conservative and right-leaning people tend to be more altruistic toward their country. What might sound like the confirmation of a prejudice, is in reality a tendency observed worldwide through a multi-country survey.
