“…By far the single best set of individual difference predictors for 40 U.S. presidents’ integrative complexity (scored using updated guidelines by Baker-Brown et al, 1992) were those related to social variables: affiliation motive, r (39) = .40, p < .05, extraversion, r (39) = .36, p < .05, friendliness, r (39) = .32, p < .06, and wittiness, r (39) = .42, p < .05 (Thoemmes & Conway, 2007). These effects were recently partially replicated using a larger data set scored for AutoIC for State of the Union speeches (Conway et al, 2020): Affiliation motive showed a significant relationship to integrative complexity, r (39) = .35, p < .05, although relationships for friendliness, r (39) = .12, and wittiness, r (39) = .24, were weaker and nonsignificant, and extraversion was actually mildly negatively (though nonsignificantly) related, r (39) = −.08. Wasike (2017) additionally found that U.S. presidents’ integrative complexity (scored using updated guidelines by Baker-Brown et al, 1992) was associated with the social trait charisma (see Table 2 for specifics on this association).…”
