16、arch showed that Americans on the eastern seaboard were "more anxious and impulsive" while the Westerns were comparatively relaxed.The researchers, led by Dr. Jason Rentfrow, Cambridge lecturer in social and political sciences, identified strong correlations between personality traits and
17、social phenomena like crime and life expectancy rates."It's not as simple as saying that a person is guaranteed to be more anxious if they come from West Virginia or more religious because they happen to live in New Mexico, but we did find pretty clear signs that there are meaningful differ
