Understanding the Climate of the Presidential Election through Personality Psychology – Patrick Bickersteth PhD.
Summary of SOPS Blog "Understanding the Climate of the Presidential Election through Personality Psychology" This is a free-of-charge 2600-word explanation of a psychological condition that appears to underlie the reported behaviors observed during the course of the Presidential Election campaigning. It elaborates on the development of the emotion- rather than reason-guided characteristics of this safety-oriented or fear-based personality style, calling for great caution in making a Presidential choice. A person with this personality, with a strong sense of personal entitlement, having enormous powers is highly likely to indicate confusing, unstable, divisive and misguided policy directions and resulting widespread acrimonious relationships in the country. In closing, the article encourages reconciliation among right-thinking resilient politicians who can operate under any President, regardless of sides. This will avoid the possible unfortunate disintegration of an iconic party and quite likely of a world-leading nation all because of minor imperfections in the electoral system in an otherwise intact more than 200-year old democracy; but mainly due to one person or a few people’s chronic state of mind. The article is attached. I am a retired psychologist with 40 years of practice in the school system, government, injured workers compensation system, the military and privately. I have a book out entitled: TO YOUR HAPPINESS: A Self-Healing Guide to Peace of Mind, published on Amazon Kindle Store in which the fear-based personality is described in greater detail within a therapeutic context. This article is free, if at all there is an issue of payment, because the USA stands to lose a lot if the people are not guided or do not take heed. This is my contribution to avoid a possible national socio-political implosion. Sincerely, Patrick Bickersteth PhD.
