An omission effect is found for judgments of blame, not for judgments of praise. A concurrent causality judgment causes an omission effect on judgments of praise. Abstract Actions leading to negative outcomes (i.e., harm) are seen as more blameworthy than omissions of actions leading to the same negative outcomes.

Populist personalities? The Big Five Personality Traits and party choice in the 2015 UK general election. To what extent are decisions at the ballot box driven by a voter’s personality?
In this article, James Dennison examines the association between personality traits and party choice in the UK’s 2015 general election. He finds, among other things, that UKIP and Green voters are the most closed and open-minded respectively. Why people vote for certain parties remains one of the most regularly investigated areas of political science. Ever since the earliest works on voting, explanations for party choice have generally focused on the voter’s socio-demographic position, their personal background and peer group or the political and economic context in which they live.
More recently, scholars have turned to less conventional determinants of party choice. Although a number of psychological frameworks exist to comprehensively describe individuals, the Big 5 has come to dominate the field over the last 20 years. Table 1: The ‘Big 5’ Personality Traits (adapted from Gerber et al, 2011) Related. Theconversation. There can be no doubt that the job market has been more resilient since the financial crisis than many imagined.
Unemployment did not rise as far as was feared and the recovery in employment to pre-recession levels has been quicker than forecast by even the most optimistic labour economists. So, time for some self-congratulatory back-slapping among policy makers then? On the surface of things, at least, it looks like a jobs miracle, despite the belt-tightening of austerity. Unfortunately, having studied the quality of jobs which many people in the UK are now doing, this is not entirely the case.
The UK labour market is, indeed, performing well but we have a growing and potentially corrosive problem of poor quality, precarious and temporary work which threatens our productivity and competitiveness, levels of social inclusion and, ultimately, the health of the workforce.
