U.S. State levels of ageism and adult suicide rates across age groups
focuses on higher fear of death, which is integrally associated with higher ageism, serving as a deterrent to suicide.
Neuroticism, urbanization, and the state prevalence of Parkinson’s disease in the USA
State resident volunteering and health are unrelated when neuroticism is controlled
This research challenges the claim that engaging in formal volunteering improves health. Using data for the 50 American states pertaining to 2015-2016, multiple regression equations with differing control and entry order demonstrated the capacity of state resident neuroticism to eliminate relations between state volunteering rates and state health outcomes. In Study 1, with state SES, White population percent, urban population percent, and health…
U.S. State Resident Big Five Personality and Work Satisfaction
Two studies determined relations between state resident Big Five personality scores and state work satisfaction for the 50 states in the United States. Study 1 and 2 personality profiles were based on responses of 619,397 residents to the 44-item Big Five Inventory. For Studies 1 and 2, state work satisfaction scores were respectively taken from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index based on 353,039 phone interviews in 2008 and on 353,564 in 201…
Comparing American State Resident Neuroticism and State Tightness-Looseness as Predictors of Annual State Residential Mobility
State resident neuroticism and the Harrington and Gelfand state tightness-looseness dimension were compared as predictors of state levels of residential mobility from 2004 to 2005 in the 50 American states. Hierarchical multiple regression controlled for state SES, white population percent, urban population percent, home ownership percent, and percent of home owners or renters paying 30 percent or more of household income for housing. Not moving …
Happy Twitter Tweets are More Likely in American States with Lower Levels of Resident Neuroticism
Relations between Big Five personality scores aggregated at the American state level and the happiness of Twitter tweet content emanating from each of the 50 American states were explored with the 50 states as the units of analysis. Tweet happiness correlated negatively with Neuroticism, and the relation remained when partial correlation and multiple regression adjusted and controlled for state socioeconomic status, white population percent, and …
Higher Resident Neuroticism Is Specifically Associated With Elevated State Cancer and Heart Disease Mortality Rates in the United States
Relations between state-aggregated responses of 619,397 residents to the neuroticism items of the Big Five Inventory and 2005-2007 age-adjusted state cancer, heart disease, total all-cause, other-disease, and non-disease mortality rates for the 50 states were examined. Partial correlations controlling for four state demographic variables and three risk variables showed neuroticism correlated significantly only with cancer mortality (.34) and hear…
Societal threat, authoritarianism, conservatism, and U.S. state death penalty sentencing (1977-2004)
On the basis of K. Stenner's (2005) authoritarian dynamic theory, it was hypothesized that the number of death sentences and executions would be higher in more threatened conservative states than in less threatened conservative states, and would be lower in more threatened liberal states than in less threatened liberal states. Threat was based on state homicide rate, violent crime rate, and non-White percentage of population. Conservatism was bas…
Height, Societal Threat, and the Victory Margin in Presidential Elections (1824-1992)
Based on the idea that height serves as a heuristic for judgments about status, dominance, and leadership potential, two hypotheses were tested: (1) Heights of U.S. presidential election winners are positively correlated with estimates of social, economic, and political threat in election years. (2) Height and victory margin are positively correlated regardless of the magnitude of estimates of social, economic, and political threat in election ye…

Birth Order of past Presidents and Schlesinger's History Cycles
Stewart's hypothesis (1992) that adults who were only-children and first-born children are most suited to lead communities in more turbulent times while adults who were later-born children are most suited to lead in more tranquil times was tested by relating the male birth order of elected presidents to Schlesinger's 1986 public purpose and private interest periods. Consistent with Stewart's hypothesis, candidates who were only-children and first…
The Extended American Social, Economic, and Political Threat Index (1788–1992)
A carefully selected sample of 24 U.S. history professors serving as expert judges indicated the degree to which they considered each of the years from 1788 to 1919 and 1987 to 1992 threatening to the established order and way of life in America. The results were pooled to form an extension to the social, economic, and political threat index (SEPT; McCann & Stewin, 1990). Interrater reliability was high: Correlations between the resulting index a…
Threatening times, "strong" presidential popular vote winners, and the victory margin, 1824-1964
Threatening times, "strong" presidential popular vote winners, and the victory margin, 1824–1964
Based on theory linking heightened authoritarianism to threat, 2 studies tested the hypothesis that the strength of presidential popular vote winners and the degree of societal threat are interactively related to the popular vote victory margin. In Study 1, strength was a composite of power motive, forcefulness, strength, and activeness, threat was gauged by an election year threat level index based on historians' opinions, and victory margin was…
Presidential Candidate Age and Schlesinger's Cycles of American History (1789-1992)
Based on Simonton's (1994) conclusion that in politics the young are the heralds of change, the old the protectors of stability, two hypotheses were tested : (I) winning presidential candidates are older in Schlesinger's (1986) private interest election years than in his public purpose election years ; (2) winners are relatively older than corresponding second-place finishers in private interest election years than in public purpose election year…
Crises and Schlesinger's Cycles of American History (1789–1986)
The relationship between Schlesinger's American history cycles and a crisis index was examined. The difference between the mean crisis value for private interest phases and public purpose phases approached significance, but adjustments for easily explained anomalies produced complete correspondence between cycle fluctuations and crises for the entire history of the United States
The Rational Public
An Annual Quantitative Index of American Social, Economic, and Political Threats and Stressors for 1920–1986
In 1990 McCann and Stewin developed a quantitative American social, economic, and political threat (SEPT) index based on the judgements of 196 historians, who were asked to rate each of the years from 1920 to 1986 on a 7-point scale according to the degree to which they felt it could be perceived as threatening to the established order and way of life in the United States. Interrater reliability was high, test-retest reliability was adequate, and…
Authoritarianism and Canadian Voting Preferences for Political Party, Prime Minister, and President
Research was initiated to determine whether authoritarianism was related to preferences for political party and leader in the 1984 Canadian federal election, whether more authoritarian Canadians would show a preference for Reagan over Mondale, and whether dogmatism would also discriminate between conservative and liberal selections. A questionnaire was completed by 106 introductory psychology students which contained an F scale, a dogmatism scale…
