ABSTRACT
The authors hypothesize that (individual) temperament, character, and behaviors are meaningfully correlated with (aggregate) beliefs and behaviors, and then to (emergent) cultural values. In this chapter, the authors describe an initiative intended to develop a theoretically driven model of these relationships through meta-analytic data collection and path modeling. This model will then be used to computationally explore and test the hypothesized relationships. The project's rationale and theoretical background are discussed.
