Unfortunately, the Potomac Company passed out of existence before the bequest could be realized. The effort was carried forward, however, by the Reverend Luther Rice and three friends.

A tireless individual, Rice traveled from Tennessee to New England soliciting support for his idea. President James Monroe himself contributed to the cause, along with 32 members of Congress. In , the institution was given its current name, and in , it began the move to its present location in Foggy Bottom, the area George Washington had envisioned for his national university.

Virgin Islands, including distance education and correspondence education programs offered at those institutions.

Skip to main content. Deferential to Others Putting others first is a great character trait for anyone to embody; it shows that individuals truly care about the value of service over self.

Firstly, do politicians share the value priorities and thus motivational goals of those citizens who vote for them and, ultimately, trust them with their democratic sovereignty? In exploring these lines of inquiry, various analyses show a partisanship and basic values share a strong relationship at all levels, b partisan elites are much more polarised in their basic values than partisans in the public, and c psychological congruence between MPs and voters occurs to a much greater extent on the Right of British politics than the Left.

Yet when comparing the basic values of MPs with partisan voters from multiple UK elections, voters for parties on the Left of British politics primarily Labour are more psychologically akin to out-partisans on the Right, and elected politicians on the Right primarily Conservative , than those politicians on the Left that they actually elect. These findings add nuance to mainstream theories of instrumental and expressive partisanship in which voters are either seen as Athenian democrats weighing evidence or alternatively as heuristic-driven motivated reasoners.

On the latter point, these findings help to make sense of the successes and failures of the Labour Party in recent decades. Stepping back to examine that state of political consumption, I also look at the existence of an unhealthy premium on the individual in contemporary democratic politics. To achieve this, I test a number of hypothetical assumptions grounded in existing studies of the personalisation of politics and the media through a conjoint experiment of voting preferences.

Put simply, I asked a representative sample of the British public to choose between randomly populated hypothetical profiles of politicians in an election scenario.

These profiles comprise images and text, including adapted survey items for basic values re-written in the first person. The resultant data show that in experimental scenarios where voters do not know the partisanship of a candidate, personality outweighs other political and socioeconomic variables as a voting heuristic.

Compared with data from real MPs, these results also indicate that at the aggregate level there is less of a disjuncture than assumed between the personalities the public want in national politics and the personalities they get.

In evaluating these findings, I show firstly that the voting public does indeed have preferences for certain personality characteristics in politics and that these matter at the hypothetical ballot box.

After all, if the world is out to get you, you must be a very important person. The paranoid personality is actually compensation for deep feelings of inferiority, often mixed with anger and resentment. The Totalitarian. Totalitarian personalities are extremely rare in electoral politics because they demand absolute obedience from underlings, believe in their own infallibility, and wield power through a combination of awe, terror, and the gullibility of their supporters.

The hallmarks of a totalitarian are a cult of personality, the rejection of facts that contradict goals and fanaticism. Examples: Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong-il. David Rosen is the founder of First Person Politics , where he brings clients in politics, advocacy, and consulting the most cutting edge ideas and tools from political psychology.
