Recent studies demonstrate that Republicans live longer than Democrats. We examined whether these longevity benefits are universal or culturally varying. Following a person-culture match perspective, we hypothesized that Republicans' longevity benefits occur in Republican, but not in Democratic, states. To test this argument, we conducted two studies among U.S. adults. In preregistered Study 1, we used large survey data (extended U.S. General Social Survey; N = 42,855). In confirmatory Study 2, we analyzed obituaries/biographies of deceased U.S. political partisans (novel data web-scraped from an online cemetery; N = 9,177). Both studies supported the person-culture match perspective with substantial effect sizes. In Republican contexts, up to 50.1% of all Republicans but only 36.3% of all Democrats reached an age of 80 years. In Democratic contexts, there was no such longevity gap. Robustness tests showed that this effect generalizes to political ideology and holds across spatial levels but is limited to persons with strong political convictions.

政治人物与文化的匹配和寿命：党派之争与死亡率的联系取决于文化背景。

最近的研究表明共和党人比民主党人寿命更长。我们研究了这些长寿益处是否具有普遍性或因文化而异。从个人与文化匹配的角度来看，我们假设共和党人的长寿益处发生在共和党州，但不是民主党州。为了验证这一论点，我们对美国成年人进行了两项研究。在预先注册的研究 1 中，我们使用了大量调查数据（扩展的美国综合社会调查；N = 42,855）。在验证性研究 2 中，我们分析了已故美国政治党派人士的讣告/传记（从在线墓地网络抓取的新数据；N = 9,177）。这两项研究都支持个人与文化匹配的观点，并产生了巨大的影响。在共和党背景下，高达 50.1% 的共和党人，但只有 36.3% 的民主党人活到了 80 岁。在民主背景下，不存在这样的寿命差距。稳健性测试表明，这种效应普遍适用于政治意识形态并跨越空间层面，但仅限于具有强烈政治信念的人。
