Understanding Those at the Forefront of Globalization
To understand the sources and future of globalization, it is essential to understand the individuals who are at the forefront of this movement. Yet, considering how vibrant and varied the literature on globalization is, systematic examinations of the people who are on the front lines of it are surprisingly rare. They are often presumed to have certain traits, and some of these presumed characteristics have received a fair amount of scrutiny—as ex…
Psychological Influences on the Policy Choices of Secretaries of State and Foreign Ministers
This article builds upon work linking the psychological characteristics of heads of government to their foreign policy preferences. The primary interest is in determining whether there is a similar link between the psychological characteristics of secretaries of state and foreign ministers and their policy preferences during international disputes. Examining the behavior of a varied set of ministers in a set of 16 decision events, such a link is …
Legislators' Personality Traits and Congressional Support for Free Trade
The determinants of congressional voting behavior on trade matters from 1991 to 1996 are investigated. Three personal characteristics of members of Congress—level of distrust toward others, perception of their control over their environment, and level of cognitive complexity—are examined for effect on voting patterns on proposals to lower barriers to international trade. These personality factors are included in a comprehensive model of congressi…
The Process-Outcome Connection in Foreign Policy Decision Making
This article investigates whether certain factors pertaining to the process of foreign policy decision making have a measurable, qualitative effect on foreign policy outcomes. The research is grounded in the groupthink literature but incorporates different dimensions of similar underlying notions from other international relations areas as well. Three different types of process factors are investigated: situational factors, such as stress and tim…
Bill Clinton's Operational Code
This paper considers Bill Clinton's operational code as reflected in prepared speeches and spontaneous remarks. Differences between the two types of verbal material, their respective differences over time, and their respective variation after key intervening political events were subjected to analysis of variance as well as descriptive analyses. The results suggest that measurements based on spontaneous comments are preferable, particularly in pr…
Idealism or Pragmatism? An Operational Code Analysis of Yitzhak Rabin andShimon Peres
This study quantitatively measured the operational codes of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres according to the Verbs in Context System (VICS) devised by Walker, Schafer, and Young (1998). Rabin's and Peres's basic propensities regarding the nature and conduct of foreign policy were then compared through analyses of variance, both to each other and across time. Three main trends were found in the results. First, both leaders' conception of their poli…
Antecedents of Groupthink
This article reports results of a quantitative analysis of I. L. Janis's (1982) original specification of the groupthink model. The study builds on the earlier work on 19 cold war crises conducted by Herek, Janis, and Huth (1987), who found that information-processing errors in group decision making were directly related to unfavorable outcomes. The present research looks further back in Janis's casual story to investigate the factors that give r…
