Description
This exploratory analysis aims to examine personality in relation to geographical location. As opposed to grouping participants by state, participants are grouped based on cultural regions outlined by Colin Woodard in American Nations (2012). By taking into account the sub-nations that exist in the United States and the history of their settlements, we can illustrate a more comprehensive and complete picture of the people who live there. In order to examine geographical regions according to personality scores, Colin Woodard’s American Nations data was used in conjunction with William Revelle’s and Lorien Elleman’s SAPA data and corresponding code. Participants were divided into nations and personality scores were then calculated for each nation. The personality scale Liberalism (e.g. Left Coast)/Conservatism (e.g. Deep South) was the greatest measure of variability across nations. Despite small effect sizes, results showed distinct personality profiles for each nation, based on a seven-factor model produced from factor analysis.
