Replication Data for: SAMA impact on violent behavior

Does space weather influence human behavior? Examining homicide rates from 1990-2021 across developed nations reveals a striking pattern: geomagnetic disturbances driven by solar wind correlate positively with violent crime in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (r = 0.65-0.87, p < 0.001). However, in Brazil and Uruguay—countries at similar latitudes but positioned beneath the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly where Earth's magnetic field weakens to 60% of normal strength—this relationship inverts (r = -0.75 and -0.49). This geographic specificity, occurring precisely where geophysics predicts altered electromagnetic environments, provides compelling evidence for genuine solar-terrestrial effects on human behavior and offers a natural experimental framework for investigating how Earth's protective magnetic shield mediates space weather impacts on biological systems.

空间天气（space weather）是否会影响人类行为？通过对1990年至2021年期间发达国家凶杀率数据的分析，我们揭示出一项引人注目的规律：由太阳风（solar wind）驱动的地磁扰动（geomagnetic disturbances），与美国、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚、新西兰及南非的暴力犯罪率呈显著正相关（相关系数r=0.65~0.87，显著性水平p<0.001）。然而，在纬度相近但处于南大西洋磁异常（South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly）下方的巴西与乌拉圭——该区域地球磁场强度仅为正常水平的60%——二者的相关性发生了反转（相关系数r分别为-0.75与-0.49）。这种恰好坐落于地球物理学（geophysics）所预测的电磁环境改变区域的地理特异性，为日地效应（solar-terrestrial effects）对人类行为的真实影响提供了极具说服力的实证依据，同时也为研究地球保护性磁护盾如何调节空间天气对生物系统的影响提供了天然实验范式。
