Psychologizing The Vote:
Who will you vote for?
Apparently, your vote depends in large part on your personality. So says Jonathan Weiler co-author (with Marc Hetherington), of Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics.
In this recent post at Salon.com, Weiler, who earned his PhD in political science from UNC, Chapel Hill and now heads their Global Studies department, says research shows that the way you vote is not only determined by your social/economic class—it’s also (and perhaps mainly) due to your personality. This in contrast to some other social scientists who say social/economic class is the root of pretty much everything.
