Bradford H. Morrison is a PhD candidate and researcher, in social psychology, at the University of British Columbia, and has an MA in political science from McGill University. He specializes in political psychology, especially the study of the decision-making of political leaders in times of stress, such as international crises, war, international negotiations, and peace processes. He uses content analysis to score real-world political texts for psychological constructs such as complexity of cognition (i.e., integrative complexity), motivations, and moral foundations, and to relate them to real-world political events and decisions, in order to better understand the psychology of political actors and political decision-making. He is currently working on his dissertation, which is a study of whether, and how, a head of government’s tendency towards high or low complexity of thinking (integrative complexity) is associated with behaviors, interactions, and outcomes in international crisis. He has built a corpus of texts from the heads of government of the United States, Soviet Union / Russia, and United Kingdom, and has used content analysis to score it, in order to build a dataset of the cognitive complexity of these leaders over their political careers. He plans to expand this dataset to include the heads of government of China and India, and to add other psychological variables that can be scored using content analysis, such as motive imagery (achievement, affiliation, and power motives), and moral foundations (concern for care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and sanctity). This dataset will be a novel and valuable resource for research concerning the psychology of political leaders.
