Some of you perhaps might need to wash your hands before reading this while some just jum on it without washing it. =================== Clean People Are Less Judgmental    Jeanna Bryner Senior Writer LiveScience.com jeanna Bryner senior Writer livescience.com - Mon Dec 1, 10:18 am ETA vigorous hand wash or shower could cause a person to be less judgmental. A new study, set for publication in the December issue of the journal Psychological Science, reveals that when a person feels physically clean, he or she cuts others more moral slack. The findings add to past research that has shown a link between physical warmth and generosity as well as physical chill and social isolation. Other past research has shown that sins seem to nudge people to clean themselves, a phenomenon the researchers dubbed the "Macbeth effect" after the dramatized murderess who tried scrubbing her hands to clean off imaginary blood. ------------------- If you are interested reading the whole article here is the link. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081201/sc_livescience/cleanpeoplearelessjudgmental

Replies Aristocrat Posted at 8:20 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 What type of clean?   I would consider a person who wakes up in the morning before doing anything first brush his/her teeth and take a shower and after exercising that is clean.  But the article is only talking about washing hands.  I assume everybody washes their hand before eating and after doing dirty work. This means I am less judgmental than what LW members assume me to be. Bearsy Posted at 2:56 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 what type of clean? FallingAwayFromMe Posted at 2:34 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Nah... I'd disagree purely on the basis that I don't imagine a dirty tramp to look down on people or be judgemental... more layed back and stoned. But tbh I didn't read the article lol HeartofJuyoMk2 Posted at 2:32 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 ive been a clean freak since i was a child, i constantly rub dirt off of my hands, and i need to shower b4 i go out, always. Dannay Posted at 2:31 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 what type of clean? Latin Muscle Posted at 2:29 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Sounds true. But i have met many christians who are "clean" at home, yet they judge every body once they are out of church, typical hypocrites. lol so the study is FLAWED. sadnessness Posted at 2:28 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 I would disagree with the cutting moral slack bit. Just from personal expericence. I feel the same about moral issues whether or not ive just showered All 7 previous replies displayed.
