Researchers at the University of Queensland, Australia, drew correlations between those who record a low intelligence quotient (IQ) score and those who express bigoted, prejudiced views.
This connection, scientists wrote in the journal Intelligence, is the first to connect the dots between lower cognitive ability and homophobia.
In comparing the two data sets, researchers found that the lower a person’s cognitive intelligence was found to be, the more likely they were to be homophobic.
“Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in prejudice,” they concluded.
