Ментальная карта по теме исследования

Each nation has its own unique character traits, demeanor and worldview, but, as the researchers found out, they rarely coincide with generally accepted national stereotypes.

In part, the phenomenon of a national character can be explained by the presence of common genes associated with the history of migrationof peoples. For example, risk-averse people probably traveled more and explored new lands. This means that this trait may be inherent in the inhabitants of the frontier. Isolated populations, such as Islanders, may be more prone to introversion, since the most desperate representatives of their nation have long gone in search of a better life. It was also found that the gene, which is believed to be responsible for risky behavior, was not often found in the inhabitants of the islands.

This allows us to assert that in each particular society, the personalities of people bear genetically determined common features. The environment undoubtedly also plays an important role. So openness to experience and recklessness are less inherent in residents of regions where there is a high risk of developing infectious diseases. From the point of view of evolution, this is quite logical, because restrained behavior can prevent the spread of the disease.

Climatic conditions can also influence personality traits. For example, lack of sunlight can contribute to the development of emotional instability. Even population density can play a role. Recent data indicate that residents of overpopulated regions are thinking more about their future, they are also trying to build stronger relationships with a partner. Obviously, this is due to high competition. In addition, such behavior indicates a high level of integrity.

Common features inherent in a nation can affect its well-being, life satisfaction, level of corruption, ability to innovate, and even health. A high level of neuroticism, for example, is strongly associated with negative health consequences and can cause anxiety and depression, as well as chronic heart disease or dementia. It is logical to assume that nations with a high level of neuroticism are more vulnerable to physical and mental illnesses. The national character can even influence the political system in the country. Last year, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis compared the predominant personality traits in various countries with their political systems. Scientists have found that nations with greater openness tend to have a more democratic society.
