1. Construal and Contact in Person-Situation Relations: Evidence from Controlled and Naturalistic Designs.
PMID:日期:2026-09-01Personality is increasingly viewed as a dynamic system arising from the interaction between individuals and their situations. Yet, in naturalistic data, within-person links between personality states and situation perceptions often conflate two distinct mechanisms: situation contact-what people objectively encounter-and situation construal-how they interpret these encounters. To disentangle these components, we combined two longitudinal approaches: a standardized laboratory study (N = 189) in which situation contact was held largely constant, and a naturalistic experience-sampling study (N = 1,596) capturing the diversity of everyday contexts. Multilevel models revealed meaningful within-person covariation between Big Five states and situation perceptions in both designs, with effect sizes that were small to medium in magnitude and theoretically coherent across both settings. However, in the naturalistic study, person-situation associations varied systematically across situation cues-social partner, location, and activity-with some associations shifting in magnitude or reversing direction depending on the context. Together, these findings suggest that construal is a primary driver of person-situation associations, but that situation contact shapes which associations emerge, to what degree, and across which situation perception dimensions. Accounting for situation contact may therefore help to more accurately capture personality as a context-sensitive, dynamic system.

2. Exploring individual differences in volitional personality state and trait change: The role of motivation and engagement during a 12-week intervention.
PMID:日期:2026-05-01Recent studies suggest that personality traits can change through interventions, but little is known about what drives individual differences in intervention gains. Based on personality development and intervention frameworks, we examined whether achieved personality state changes explain differences in trait change and whether these could be explained by participants' motivation and intervention engagement. The study was based on a 12-week personality intervention with a total of 956 participants, daily and weekly state measures, and trait self- and observer-reports. Participants who showed stronger state deviations from the initial trait level changed more in their traits in the corresponding direction. Both state and trait changes were stronger if participants were more committed to their change goal, completed more implementation intentions, and enjoyed their implementations more (i.e., reinforcement). In contrast, the strength of the desire to change, expected attainability, and beliefs in the changeability of personality had no consistent effects-but individual differences were limited as most participants scored highly on these motivational aspects. The control group exhibited no mean-level changes or effects of any of these covariates. Taken together, these findings support key components of volitional change theories and can help guide future personalized intervention efforts.

3. Big Five personality traits and voting: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and mega-analysis.
PMID:日期:2026-05-01Voting is an important civic behavior that contributes to the vitality of democratic societies. Previous research indicates that personality traits play an important role in voting intentions and behavior, though findings are mixed due to insufficient statistical power and variability in methods and measures. This study synthesizes evidence from a systematic review, leveraging both meta-analysis and mega-analysis to estimate the associations between the Big Five personality traits and voting intentions and behavior. We drew data from 65,036 participants across 17 studies (meta-analysis) and 44,206 participants across 13 studies (mega-analysis). We estimated zero-order correlations between the Big Five traits and voting, and explored moderating effects of personality and voting measures, nationality, gender, and age. We found modest but robust correlations between the Big Five and voting, with effect sizes ranging from .05 to .10. People with stronger intentions to vote were less neurotic and more extraverted, open, agreeable, and conscientious. Low neuroticism was the only trait that predicted voting behavior. Results were somewhat more pronounced in non-U.S. samples. Together, these findings suggest that the Big Five, though modest in effect, are consistent predictors of voting. We discuss implications for future research and applications in fostering voting behavior.

4. Modelling non-linear personality change surrounding transitions: A review of statistical approaches.
PMID:日期:2026-05-01Personality changes surrounding transitions in life circumstances are often non-linear, presenting challenges for statistical analysis. This paper therefore reviews approaches to modelling non-linear personality change surrounding transitions, aiming to guide readers in selecting and applying an approach that fits their objectives. Seven approaches were reviewed, including traditional mixed-effects methods, continuous-time dynamic models, and relatively novel data-driven techniques. Each approach is explained, outlining its strengths and limitations. The approaches' practical utility is assessed through a case study examining changes in life satisfaction surrounding widowhood, using LISS panel data. Interpretability and model fit are compared, and annotated R code is provided as a tutorial for implementation. Results highlighted the varied suitability of the mixed-effects approaches for studying different aspects of change. The data-driven techniques excelled in capturing average and person-specific trajectories, generalised effectively, and allowed interpretation of different change aspects than the mixed-effects approaches allowed for. Importantly, the approaches yielded distinct findings regarding life satisfaction changes surrounding widowhood, with theoretical implications. The paper concludes with practical recommendations for selecting and applying these approaches. By expanding the reader's statistical toolkit and providing an accessible overview, this resource supports the effective analysis of non-linear changes surrounding transitions, enabling a fuller understanding of personality change.

5. Which positive personality traits do people want to change?
PMID:日期:2024-07-01Most people want to change some of their personality traits, typically those they and others perceive as lacking. However, past research focused on student samples and higher-order traits and has not fully explored the attributes of traits that predict change goals. As a replication and extension of previous findings, two studies examined (1) whether people want to change their character strengths and how character strengths change goals relate to (2) character strength levels, (3) age, and (4) well-being. Further, we examined which (5) attributes of character strengths, such as their association with morality or well-being, predict change goals. Participants (Study 1: = 2,792 German-speaking adults, 79.2% women, median = 46 years; Study 2: 6,787 English-speaking adults, 67.0% women, median = 32 years) completed measures of character strengths, character strengths change goals, and well-being. A subsample ( = 1,739) provided informant ratings. Results showed that participants wanted to increase all 24 character strengths. Most change goals showed negligible associations with participants' well-being and age. Except for spirituality, participants-especially the less happy-wanted to change those character strengths they lacked. The character strengths' relationship with well-being, but not their moral value, predicted the goals to change them.

6. Character Growth Following Collective Life Events: A Study on Perceived and Measured Changes in Character Strengths During the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
PMID:日期:2022-07-01Did the COVID-19 pandemic promote character growth? Studies using sequential samples suggest that collective life events can result in character growth, but their conclusions have been questioned. This study used three approaches to examine character growth during the first wave of the pandemic: perceived changes in oneself and in a close other, and a longitudinal analysis of changes. In addition, we tested whether character strengths assessed before the pandemic predicted specific instances of growth, that is, engagement in volunteering and compliance with regulations during the pandemic. German-speaking participants ( = 366, 76.5% female, mean age: 45.33 years) who had completed an assessment of character strengths before the pandemic reported on perceived changes in character strengths, engagement in volunteering, and compliance with regulations. A subsample also completed a second assessment of character strengths. The results showed that (a) participants reported perceived changes for most character strengths in both themselves and close others, while (b) longitudinal increases were only observed for humility and prudence. Pre-pandemic character strengths predicted (c) engagement in volunteering and (d) compliance with regulations. We conclude that actual character growth was smaller than the perceived changes but that the character strengths did predict relevant behaviors related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

7. Whose self-control development suffers or benefits in the face of adversity? A longitudinal study of Mexican-origin youth followed from age 10 to 16.
PMID:日期:2022-07-01This study assessed the co-development of adversity and effortful control based on a sample of Mexican-origin youth ( = 674) and their parents. We used a four-wave longitudinal design and followed target participants from age 10 to 16. At each time point, we measured adversity experienced by the children and their parents and children's effortful control (self- and parent-reported). We also assessed children's shift-and-persist coping strategies at ages 14 and 16. Across time, we found slight decreases in child-adversity and slight increases in parent-adversity. Based on bivariate LGC analyses, we found that the strongest effects surfaced for child- (vs. parent-) adversity. Specifically, we found that greater increases in child-adversity were associated with greater decreases in effortful control from ages 10 to 16. Moreover, we found a positive association between initial levels of child-adversity and the slope of effortful control, as well as a cross-sectional negative association between child- and parent-adversity and effortful control (at age 10). We found no evidence of moderation by shift-and-persist coping strategies. In sum, our results suggest that, on average, Mexican-origin youth exposed to more adversity might experience more maladaptive change with respect to effortful control.

8. The Affiliative Role of Empathy in Everyday Interpersonal Interactions.
PMID:DOI:日期:2021-03-01Empathy theoretically serves an affiliative interpersonal function by satisfying motives for intimacy and union with others. Accordingly, empathy is expected to vary depending on the situation. Inconsistent empirical support for empathy's affiliative role may be because of methodology focused on individual differences in empathy or differences between controlled experimental conditions, which fail to capture its dynamic and interpersonal nature. To address these shortcomings, we used ecological momentary assessment to establish typical patterns of empathy across everyday interactions. Associations among empathy, affect, and interpersonal behaviour of self and interaction partner were examined in a student sample (N = 330), then replicated in a preregistered community sample (N = 279). Multilevel structural equation modelling was used to distinguish individual differences in empathy from interaction-level effects. Results show that people are more empathetic during positively valenced interactions with others perceived as warm and when expressing warmth. By confirming the typically affiliative role of empathy, existing research to the contrary can be best understood as exceptions to the norm.

9. Psychological and Behavioural Responses to Coronavirus Disease 2019: The Role of Personality.
PMID:DOI:日期:2020-07-08This study examined the associations between personality traits and psychological and behavioural responses to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Personality was assessed in January/February 2020 when the public was not aware of the spread of coronavirus in the USA. Participants were reassessed in late March 2020 with four sets of questions about the pandemic: concerns, precautions, preparatory behaviours, and duration estimates. The sample consisted of = 2066 participants (mean age = 51.42; range = 18-98; 48.5% women). Regression models were used to analyse the data with age, gender, education, race, and ethnicity as covariates. Consistent with the preregistered hypotheses, higher neuroticism was related to more concerns and longer duration estimates related to COVID-19, higher extraversion was related to shorter duration estimates, and higher conscientiousness was associated with more precautions. In contrast to the preregistered hypotheses, higher neuroticism was associated with fewer precautions and unrelated to preparatory behaviours. Age moderated several trait-response associations, suggesting that some of the responses were associated more strongly in older adults, a group at risk for complications of COVID-19. For example, older adults high in conscientiousness prepared more. The present findings provide insights into how personality predicts concerns and behaviours related to the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology.

10. Trajectories of Big Five Personality Traits: A Coordinated Analysis of 16 Longitudinal Samples.
PMID:DOI:日期:2020-05-01This study assessed change in self-reported Big Five personality traits. We conducted a coordinated integrative data analysis using data from 16 longitudinal samples, comprising a total sample of over 60 000 participants. We coordinated models across multiple datasets and fit identical multi-level growth models to assess and compare the extent of trait change over time. Quadratic change was assessed in a subset of samples with four or more measurement occasions. Across studies, the linear trajectory models revealed declines in conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness. Non-linear models suggested late-life increases in neuroticism. Meta-analytic summaries indicated that the fixed effects of personality change are somewhat heterogeneous and that the variability in trait change is partially explained by sample age, country of origin, and personality measurement method. We also found mixed evidence for predictors of change, specifically for sex and baseline age. This study demonstrates the importance of coordinated conceptual replications for accelerating the accumulation of robust and reliable findings in the lifespan developmental psychological sciences.
