New preprint!

Ever heard that personality doesn't change? Do you believe that? (you shouldn't)

Using data from an online survey (n = 887) & eight longitudinal datasets (n = 166,971), we compared perceived vs. actual lifespan changes in personality and 20+ individual differences (1/8)

Meta analysis in press at JPSP: personality traits are related to volunteering and charitable giving. Which have the biggest effects? See below (hint: they start with vowels)

Ever wondered whether our personality influences our first sexual milestone? 🍒

We explored how the Big Five traits affect the timing of first sexual experiences — and how these, in turn, shape personality traits over time.

Shoutout to first author @srtzki.bsky.social and our co-authors @mbene.bsky.social and Bluesky-less Boris Forthmann!

How should we score divergent thinking tasks to best assess the ability to generate creative ideas? 🤔 It’s a big question in creativity research, so we systematically compared different scoring approaches to evaluate their psychometric quality. Check out our findings!

Can people intentionally change their personality?

Happy to share that our review on volitional personality change research has now been published at Nature Communications.

would love to be added as well (even though i‘m just starting out..)! ☺️

New preprint 🤗

Life events are a commonly studied environmental factor believed to influence normal-range personality development (such as the Big Five), but how well does this extend to features of personality pathology? (1/7)

Made my conference debut talking about #sexualdebut and its relationship with #personalitytraits. Like many others, I did not make it to the @dgps.bsky.social #DGPs2024 congress @univie.ac.at, but still enjoyed my digital experience a lot!

Already excited for the @dgps.bsky.social congress next week in Vienna? 🇦🇹 If you're around on Wed. 9:30, we'd love to see you in our symposium on social drivers of personality change w/ Manon van Scheppingen, Larissa Wieczorek, Eva Bleckmann, & @rosalieandrae.bsky.social (who created this graphic😊)

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!
