Wie verändert sich unsere Persönlichkeit über ein Jahr? Dazu starten wir heute eine neue Studie und suchen nach Teilnehmenden zwischen 18-40 Jahren, die Interesse haben, Einblicke in ihre Persönlichkeit, Wohlbefinden und Verhalten über ein Jahr zu erhalten und bis zu 173 CHF (~185€) zu verdienen.

New paper out on personality functioning by lab members @ajwright.bsky.social and @peterhaehner.bsky.social ⬇️🤩

New paper on self-esteem changes after life events lead by our research interns @schellenberglukas.bsky.social and Marco and supervised by @peterhaehner.bsky.social 🎉

Recent preprint from UZH doctoral student @rosalieandrae.bsky.social on personality and first sexual intercourse using the pairfam data of adolescents 👇

Can people intentionally change their personality? Happy to share that our review on volitional personality change research has now been published at Nature Communications. Open-Access-Link: doi.org/10.1038/s442...

More than happy to share that our manuscript investigating „Differences Between Lifelong Singles and Ever-Partnered Individuals in Big Five Personality Traits and Life Satisfaction“ across 27 countries is now available online at Psychological Science (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...)! A 🧵:

How does providing informal care affect people's well-being? @wiebkeb.bsky.social and I used longitudinal data to examine this question across different well-being aspects, 3 countries (🇳🇱, 🇩🇪, 🇦🇺), and several moderators. See below for a thread or @psychscience.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1177/0956...

The best moments as a PhD supervisor: celebrating first first-author publications! Check out this great paper by @berndschaefer.bsky.social published in JPSP 🤩 on network dynamics in subjective well-being! And follow Bernd for more research on this topic. Congrats, Bernd! #perpsy #PsychSciSky

Individual Differences in Event-Related Personality Changes: A Systematic Review and Coordinated Data Analysis: http://osf.io/epx5m/

Still friends with people you randomly met in a university study group? 👯🧑‍🎓 In this preprint with André Kretzschmar, @chopwood.bsky.social, and @wiebkeb.bsky.social, we looked at social influences on personality change in a design that randomized first-semester students to peer groups (1/4)

Check out this new research on personality interventions from lab members, @mdkraemer.bsky.social and @wiebkeb.bsky.social as well as Travis Miller and @chopwood.bsky.social! 🚀📝

Excited to share that you can now read the preprint to our investigation of response aggregation methods in divergent thinking assessments: osf.io/preprints/os.... Big thanks to @srtzki.bsky.social , Boris Forthmann, and Mathias Benedek!

Looking back at 20 years of research, this new article by @wiebkeb.bsky.social reviews the personality development literature against three criteria for strong psychological theories: osf.io/preprints/os... Overall, the field has come a long way in refining our understanding of lifespan (1/2)

Congratulations!! 🥳

A Systematic Review of Volitional Personality Change Research: http://osf.io/h5db2/

Very happy to see this out now in JPSP! We used 5 datasets (N = 128K) to do a deep dive into within-person variability for long-term personality development, a metric common in short-term dynamics work but (sadly!) pretty disregarded longitudinally (1/8) psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

Do people become more alike across the lifespan? Is the variability of personality traits changing across time and age? In our meta-analyis on changes in personality variability, we integrated data from more than 300 longitudinal studies to answer these questions. Preprint: osf.io/yk3eh/

First #skeet, with high hopes for this new place! 🥳😄 Stay tuned for updates of our research on differential psychology, personality, cognitive ability, and assessment at the University of Zurich (UZH). Also perhaps the occasional job posting 🧑‍🔬
