Male life expectancy at birth fell by over six years in Russia between 1989 and 1994. Many other countries of the former Soviet Union saw similar declines, and female life expectancy fell as well. Using cross-country and Russian household survey data, we assess six possible explanations for this upsurge in mortality. Most find little support in the data: the deterioration of the health care system, changes in diet and obesity, and material deprivation fail to explain the increase in mortality rates. The two factors that do appear to be important are alcohol consumption, especially as it relates to external causes of death (homicide, suicide, and accidents) and stress associated with a poor outlook for the future. However, a large residual remains to be explained.

“…See, for example,Cutler et al (2000) for an analysis of the harms to health due to the Mexican exchange rate crises, althoughLevine and Ames (2003) do not find harmful health effects from the 1997-1998 financial crisis in Indonesia. The dimension of openness, we study, has not been implicated in financial crises.…”

MOTIVATION IN WORDS: PROMOTION-AND PREVENTION-ORIENTED LEADER COMMUNICATION IN TIMES OF CRISISWhen during the 2008 US presidential elections a financial crisis erupted, the US people overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama, the candidate who had adopted the slogan "change we can believe in" and who emphasized hope and optimism when he addressed the people. In line with this example, research demonstrates that situational uncertainty or crisis strongly influences the endorsement of the more charismatic or decisive leadership styles and that inspirational communication is at the heart of these styles (see Bligh clear what leaders should communicate in order to be endorsed in difficult times. We argue that regulatory focus (Higgins, 1987(Higgins, , 1997 of leader communication, which we refer to as regulatory orientation, is an important determinant of leadership endorsement during crisis.,Studies on the role of regulatory focus in leadership mostly seem to focus on regulatory fit effects (Avnet & Higgins, 2006;Cesario, Grant, & Higgins, 2004). Regulatory fit theory posits that persons who's regulatory focus is sustained by the environment, will be experiencing a situation of "feeling right". If individuals feel right they become more persuaded, more motivated, more engaged and their evaluations of the elements that sustain their regulatory focus intensify. Hence, followers may perceive a leader as effective and motivating when the regulatory orientation of the leader's communication fits followers' regulatory focus (cf. Stam, van Knippenberg & Wisse, 2010a). Based on this argument, some researchers have speculated that leaders who use prevention-oriented communication may be especially endorsed in times of crisis because the negative affect and uncertainty associated with crisis induce a prevention focus in MOTIVATION IN WORDS 3 followers and prevention-oriented leader communication sustains a prevention focus (cf. Bruch, Shamir, & Eilam-Shamir, 2007;Stam et al., 2010a).In the current research we challenge this idea. We acknowledge that the uncertainty and negative feelings engendered by crises may induce a prevention focus in individuals, but based he regulatory focus literature (e.g., Hamstra, Sassenberg, van Yperen, & Wisse, 2013;Johnson, Smith, Wallace, Hill, & Baron, 2015) we argue that fit caused by prevention-oriented communication during crisis serves to intensify the uncertainty and negative feelings related to the crisis. This will lead to less motivation to realize the...
