Research
An Investigation of Personality Constructs as Moderators of the Relationship Between Political Affiliation and Compliance with COVID-19 Restrictions
Abstract: Adherence to COVID-19 restrictions was necessary to prevent the spread of the virus and contain the spreading that had already occurred, potentially saving lives. And yet, within the US specifically, there was palpable and explicit resistance to these restrictions. It somehow became a political issue, as the resistance seemed to coincide with political affiliation. These authors were seeking an explanation for this relationship, as this study aimed to discover whether there were shared underlying personality constructs that may have influenced both. Participants were recruited via social media, with a shared link to the anonymous online survey. The survey was composed of 60 items measuring Empathy, Agreeableness, Narcissism, and Psychopathy, as well as questions added by the authors which included demographic questions and questions about political affiliation and COVID-19 restriction compliance. In support of the first hypothesis, there were significant differences between Republicans and Democrats on reported likelihood of compliance for all three COVID-19 restrictions (stay-at-home, social distancing, and mask wearing), with Republicans reporting significantly less likelihood to comply. However, none of the constructs appeared to moderate the relationship between political affiliation and COVID-19 restriction compliance, with one exception (Psychopathy). Other possible explanations for this relationship are discussed.
The Effectiveness of Doodling as a Note-Taking Strategy
Abstract: Meade, Wammes, and Fernandes (2019) found that structured drawing produced the best recall of target words, followed by writing the words, and lastly unstructured doodling. In the present study, we intend to define “doodling” more broadly, to include both drawing strategies, and to then attempt to reproduce these findings in a more typical classroom situation. Participants will be instructed to either take Traditional Notes, Doodle Only, or Doodle + Take Notes, and recall of lecture material will then be tested. With a broader definition, we expect to see the highest recall ability from the Doodle + Notes group as it combines both writing and drawing encoding pathways without any of the limitations induced by other group treatments and these results will likely be more generalizable to typical classroom settings.
