We administered the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) to 61 students at an elite university in India. Student scores on the CAS were slightly higher than scores obtained previously in the U.S. and England, suggesting slightly higher amounts of celebrity worship. We examined the pattern of relationships between the five personality factors measured by the NEO PI-R and the three subscales of the CAS, and found only one significant relationship, that between CAS BP and Conscientiousness. That is, participants who scored higher on the CAS subscale indicative of borderline pathology tended to be less conscientious. Choice of one’s favorite celebrity reflected the globalization of American pop culture.&nbsp;

The Relationship between Attitudes toward Celebrities &amp; the Five Factor Personality Inventory at an Elite Indian University: A Brief Report

Being female and a politician in the United States represents a combination of identities that remains replete with controversy and lack of clarity, perhaps not surprisingly for a nation in which women were granted the right to vote less than one hundred years ago, in 1920, with the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The case of Alaska, which became the 49th of the 50 U.S. states in 1959, is especially relevant to discussions of women in politics, as it has been closely associated with Republican politics since at least statehood, and recently attracted widespread attention with the nomination of then Alaska governor Sarah Palin as the Republican Party nominee for vice president in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
