Political Personality as Proposed by Harold D. Lasswell: from Definitional Considerations to Health Implications

Justyna Kuświk



Abstract

Being a politician is a specific situation for many reasons. First of all, because of having power, real and unprecedented, and the possibility of wider influence, as compared to other professions. There are theories that only persons who have particular predispositions to this type of profession decide to accept such a role. The purpose of this study is to identify the possi- bility of a connection between the political personality, as proposed by Harold D. Lasswell, and potential vulnerability to the occurrence of somatic diseases. The basis for the creation of this assumption was the recognition of neuroticism as a fundamental component of political personality. The article also presents the relationship between neuroticism and the predisposition for diseases. First of all, considerations apply to the mechanisms of this influence and its scope.
