Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary Many important studies associate the presidential profile of Dilma Rousseff to the loss of domestic density and reach of Brazil’s foreign policy, a perspective not yet confirmed by psychological mechanisms of leadership behavior in foreign policy. We offer a contribution by exploring the Leadership Trait Analysis framework with which personality concepts and comparisons between Brazilian presidents are examined. Our main findings reveal that Rousseff has leadership traits in close proximity to the average of Brazilian presidents, although her distinctions on “respecting constrains” and “focusing on causes” style mirror much of the impressions raised by the literature over her presidency.

This archives contain all the LTA estimation by Brazilian presidents in STATA format, as well as the routines in STATA to develop supllementary documents and mean comparison between groups and an exel archive with the links of each interview (raw data) used to estimate LTA
