Can Your Country Change Your Personality?
We often think of personality as something shaped by our genes, our family and our individual experiences.
But could the society we grow up in also influence who we become?
A major international study involving almost 1.8 million people suggests that countries with higher levels of corruption, inequality, poverty and violence may also have higher levels of so-called dark personality traits. But what does this really mean? Does society shape personality, or are the answers more complicated?
In the latest Battleplan Podcast, we explore the psychology behind the Dark Triad and the Dark Factor of Personality, examine the fascinating research, and explain why understanding the difference between correlation and causation is essential for critical thinking. Along the way, you'll develop advanced academic and psychological vocabulary while improving your English for STANAG 6001 Level 3.
