belief that people in different parts of the country have different characters and in some ways this research was testing that idea,鈥?Jason Rentfrow, a psychologist at Cambridge University, told the Guardian.
The findings, published in the journal , go beyond reinforcing, or in some cases, overturning, tired regional stereotypes. Psychological factors can have a significant impact on public health, and understanding the reasons they cluster in geographical areas can help with local policies to improve people鈥 wellbeing.
鈥e know that conscientiousness affects physical health, for example, and part of the reason is that conscientious people are more risk averse, and more likely to get medical help early on when they have symptoms,鈥?said Rentfrow. 鈥淥n the other hand, less conscientious people are more likely to blow things off and that could affect their prognosis.鈥?br>
If scientists can tease out why healthy psychological attitudes, such as conscientiousness and emotional stability, are prominent in some regions, they might be able to boost them elsewhere.
鈥erhaps in addition to creating new jobs, or providing better healthcare in some of these areas, it is worthwhile considering the psychological dimensions, and trying to improve those too,鈥?Rentfrow said.
