Abstract

This article introduces the Psychological Characteristics of Leaders (PsyCL) data set. Foreign policy decisions are made by humans, and human psychology affects those decisions. While structural factors likely shape policy challenges and opportunities, excluding humans from our models is certain to miss important factors. Psychology has been excluded in the past in part because of the lack of data; PsyCL begins to address this problem. We discuss the importance of psychology in decision-making, describe the structure and scope of the data and its flexible units of analysis, present some simple empirical examples, and conclude with thoughts on future research.

领导者的心理特征（PsyCL）：一个新的数据集

本文介绍了领导者的心理特征（PsyCL）数据集。外交政策的决策是由人类做出的，而人类的心理影响着这些决策。虽然结构性因素可能会影响政策挑战和机遇，但将人类排除在我们的模型之外肯定会错过重要因素。心理学在过去一直被排除在外，部分原因是缺乏数据；PsyCL开始解决这个问题。我们讨论了心理学在决策中的重要性，描述了数据的结构和范围及其灵活的分析单元，给出了一些简单的实证例子，并对未来的研究进行了总结。

期刊介绍： Reflecting the diverse, comparative and multidisciplinary nature of the field, Foreign Policy Analysis provides an open forum for research publication that enhances the communication of concepts and ideas across theoretical, methodological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. By emphasizing accessibility of content for scholars of all perspectives and approaches in the editorial and review process, Foreign Policy Analysis serves as a source for efforts at theoretical and methodological integration and deepening the conceptual debates throughout this rich and complex academic research tradition. Foreign policy analysis, as a field of study, is characterized by its actor-specific focus. The underlying, often implicit argument is that the source of international politics and change in international politics is human beings, acting individually or in groups. In the simplest terms, foreign policy analysis is the study of the process, effects, causes or outputs of foreign policy decision-making in either a comparative or case-specific manner.
