A year ago, 20 German personality psychologists came together under the leadership of John Rauthmann to assess the status of the field (not only from a German perspective). An English-language version of this paper (in press at Psychologische Rundschau) is now available:

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour!

"I just feel generally very, very alone and very lonely", says Tennis star Zverev after losing his first round match at Wimbledon. It's rare to see professional athletes (or any public figure) talking openly about #loneliness, but I am sure he's not the only one.

🪧New preprint out:

"Politicians underestimate support for climate action even more than the general public"

Pluralistic ignorance - citizens underestimating others' climate concerns - is well documented.

But what about policymakers in office?🏛️🤔

Preprint ALERT!

We used data from the GLUECK study to explore network dynamics in the subjective well-being of adolescents. Our findings highlight the central role of school satisfaction and strong links between domain satisfaction and affective well-being.
