• The Big Five Personality Traits in the Political Arena (2011, background): “Other work in this vein examines the relationships between measures of (average) statewide personality and statewide party vote shares (Rentfrow et al. 2009) and the relationships between Big Five traits and self-reported partisanship in the United States (Mondak 2010, Mondak & Halperin 2008).”
• The Secret Lives of Liberals and Conservatives: Personality Profiles, Interaction Styles, and the Things They Leave Behind (2008, result): “…concerning the Big Five personality dimensions are in fact highly compatible with those obtained by Stenner (2005) using more representative national and international samples (see also Rentfrow et al., 2009, for an aggregated approach to studying “regional personality” in the United States).”
