New paper out at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science!

We examined unconditional & event-related changes in pathological vs normal-range personality using 4 metrics to compare their developmental links, how these vary with life events, and whether unique effects emerge across metrics

New Preprint Alert!

Why do people differ in their self-esteem development after a negative life event?

With M. Altorfer, and @peterhaehner.bsky.social, I addressed this question by studying self-esteem changes over six months after a negative life event.

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

Rosalie Andrae @rosalieandrae.bsky.social · Jan 14

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.

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.

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)

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.
