Parents always try their best to teach their children to be kind, respectful, and considerate of others. Politeness is such an important trait, but it's interesting to know where certain behaviors are more commonly exhibited than others- both generationally and location-wise.
Preply surveyed Americans by state to determine where residents are the most polite. We asked a variety of questions gauging the importance respondents place on certain “polite” actions such as opening a door for someone, giving up your seat to someone in need, and more.
Key takeaways
The most polite Americans live in Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama.
The least polite Americans live in Nevada, New Jersey, and New York.
76% of Americans say it's important to give up your seat to a person in need.
- 72% of Americans say it's extremely important to pick up after yourself in a public setting.
When considering how polite they are, 62% of Americans feel their cultural background plays a role.
- Gen Z is the least polite generation, overall.
- Millennials, however, are the most likely generation to respond to someone's rudeness by being rude & the generation most likely to be late to appointments.
