cultural tightness and beliefs, values, and personality traits within the United States and across 56 nations and found that cultural tightness was a parsimonious explanation for many of these regional differences. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#242424">Liz Wilson is a 5th year PhD candidate in the social/personality subfield of psychology. Her main research questions seek to understand why intergroup bias varies between people and changes over time
and place. Though much of her earlier work focused on this question at the individual level, she is delighted that her more recent research has taken her to the regional level and opened up the world of spatial psychology!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
