On election day, where do you vote? If it's in a church, you might be inclined to vote more conservatively than if you cast your ballot at a school or government building. That’s according to research published in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion. And the effect seems to hold, whether you're Christian, Muslim or agnostic, progressive, independent or conservative. The study found that when random people were surveyed in front of a church, they gave more socially and politically conservative responses than people surveyed while standing in front of a government building. The shift in people’s attitudes, the researchers suggest was likely a result of visual priming—meaning that people who could see the religious building were, consciously or not, getting cues that influenced their response.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "competently", the speaker says "conservatively"

Explanation: The speaker says "vote more conservatively than", not "competently". Both words start with c, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "obstinate", the speaker says "government"

Explanation: Listen for "at a school or government building". The first letters are different, so listen from the start of the word.

Printed "exporting", the speaker says "according"

Explanation: You will hear "That's according to research", not "exporting". The words start with different letters, so listen to the first part.

Printed "dozily", the speaker says "socially"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "gave more socially and politically", not "dozily". The words start with different letters and end the same, so focus on the start.

Printed "consisting", the speaker says "building"

Explanation: Listen again to "the religious building were". The printed word 'consisting' makes no sense here, so trust the audio.

"church" matches the audio

Explanation: "in a church, you might be" looks simple but may draw doubt. It is exactly what the speaker says, so do not click it.

"religious" matches the audio

Explanation: "see the religious consisting were" may feel odd near the changed word. The speaker actually says "religious" as printed, so do not click it.
