Stanton’s timely research explores the personality profiles of newly eligible high school voters in Charleston County who supported either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

Using tools like the Big Five Personality Test and the Interpersonal Circumplex Model, the findings are both surprising and insightful:
🔹 Trump voters showed more introversion and forcefulness
🔹 Harris voters were more extroverted and accepting
🔸 Yet, both groups shared some common traits, suggesting a more nuanced picture of the U.S. electorate than often portrayed.

👏 Congratulations to Emma for this thought-provoking research on youth political behavior and polarization in the United States!
