Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Research suggests that citizens are increasingly turning to the market to express their political beliefs and values. Termed 'political consumerism', such behaviour can take a variety of forms-including boycotts and buycotts. While recent research has uncovered many of the sociodemographic and attitudinal correlates of political consumer behaviour, other individual differences, such as those rooted in personality, have been less studied. Drawing on a sample of more than 2500 voting-aged Canadians, we consider the relationship between individual differences in personality traits and political consumerism (boycotting and buycotting). Results reveal that, even after controlling for other known correlates such as age, gender, education, income, ideology, and political interest, differences in personality matter. We show that this is the case for both general and antagonistic traits.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
