Which leadership model does Biden fit

As the new president of the United States, Biden's personality traits and behavioral decision-making characteristics may affect the formulation of U.S. domestic and foreign policies to a greater extent. Therefore, this paper analyzes Biden's personality traits and finds that affable and pleasant and positive extroversion are two of Biden's core traits, and conformity, persistence, and motivational thirst are three of his important traits. Since core traits have a more significant effect on behavioral decisions, interpersonal orientation and low dominance associated with the affable and agreeable trait and negotiation orientation associated with the positive extraversion trait are the three core characteristics of Biden's decision making. The remaining two important decision-making characteristics are constrained adaptation and short-term orientation. Based on these findings, several issues need to be further explored:

First, positive personality traits do not necessarily imply efficient policy design and cooperative political posturing. Biden's performance on the Big Five personality dimensions is mostly positive, which is more in line with people's psychological expectations of the traditional image of American politicians. However, in political contexts, "positive" traits do not necessarily imply efficient policy design. For example, interpersonal orientation may mean that Biden cares too much about external evaluation of policy effects, which makes it difficult for him to implement a transformative policy; low dominance may also mean that Biden lacks control of the overall situation, which makes it difficult for him to harmonize the conflict of interests between different interest groups and different government departments. In addition, the "positive" trait does not mean that Biden tends to be moderate in resolving conflicting issues. For example, the negotiation-oriented Biden may maintain channels of communication while increasing pressure on his opponents, resulting in a situation of competitive intensification and open negotiation***.

Second, Biden's governing style and its continuity. After assuming the presidency, Biden showed a very different governing style from Trump's, whose origins and continuity can be explored in Biden's personality traits and decision-making characteristics. First, Biden's personality traits of positive outgoingness and eagerness to inspire suggest that he is more open to open and substantive social debate. Specifically, Biden exhibits a pragmatic style of communication and tends to believe that promoting open discussion of policy agendas can help solve problems. Biden is willing to speak openly about the serious challenges facing the U.S. and is less likely to deny or withhold information on challenging issues such as the epidemic. The Biden policy team openly recognized that the United States was in the midst of "four overlapping crises" - a new crown epidemic, an economic crisis, climate change, and racial equality - and made policy based on that. Second, Biden's attitude toward external constraints was shaped by his constrained-adaptation style of policymaking, in which he tended to respect external challenges and draw on policy solutions that proved to be successful. This is reflected in Biden's strong imitation of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's program and public communication style in the early years of his administration, drawing on his successful experience in dealing with the crisis. On the one hand, Biden proposed the "100-Day New Deal" and the "10-Day Plan" right after he took office, and pushed for the introduction of the $1.9 trillion stimulus package to deal with the economic depression, which showed that he tried to unite and mobilize the social forces of the society under the leadership of the government in order to deal with the crisis; On the other hand, Biden imitated Roosevelt's "fireside chats" in order to create an affable public image. From Biden's character traits, it can be expected that Biden's pragmatic and pro-people style of governance will have greater continuity.

Third, how Biden's psychological traits will affect the future strategic design of the United States. The Biden administration's strategic design has been initially revealed, from its psychological traits, can be more systematic understanding of its strategic design of the internal drive. First, the high sympathy for the underprivileged and the focus of Biden's early administration. Sympathy for the underprivileged is an important aspect of Biden's affinity for people, and this trait has shaped Biden's conception of the function of government. Biden advocated that the government should take full social responsibility and provide relief to the disadvantaged at the bottom of the social ladder. In the early days of his presidency, in the face of the economic recession caused by the new crown epidemic, Biden was committed to restoring people's confidence in the government and proposed relief packages and programs to promote employment for the underprivileged. Second, the self-exaltation defense mechanism and the priority of domestic development. Self-sublimation is an important aspect of Biden's obsessive trait, which means that when faced with a difficult situation, Biden favors introspective, non-aggressive responses. This intrinsic quality means that Biden sees self-improvement as the fundamental solution to problems, which in turn greatly influences Biden's views on the relationship between domestic and foreign affairs, and is manifested in the explicit statement that foreign policy should serve domestic affairs. Focusing on the development of the United States itself is a distinctive feature of the Biden administration, the new crown epidemic, climate, racial equality, the economy, health care, immigration, and restoration of U.S. global status is listed on the White House website as the seven priority issues, of which the first six are mainly domestic issues. Third, the analogy between interpersonal and international status. Biden's affable and pleasant, positive and outgoing personality traits and interpersonally oriented decision-making characteristics reflect his strong need for friendly interpersonal status and interpersonal rewards, which in turn affects Biden's foreign policy priority goal setting. In his early years in office, Biden prioritized the enhancement of U.S. international status as a foreign policy goal, with an unusual emphasis on U.S. global leadership. In his first foreign policy speech after taking office, as well as in his speech at the Munich Security Conference, Biden emphasized that "America is back" and would take up its obligations to its Western allies and participate in global governance.
