Major life events can impact people’s well-being or personality traits. Traditionally, have been examined by considering if they occurred not. However, this assumes that the effect of a event is similar for all participants. Therefore, it has suggested to consider subjective perception events. Yet, as with many self-reports in psychological research, on experience be biased. To gain better understanding perception, we therefore convergence self- and informant-reports major potential moderators convergence. In dyadic study design, N = 562 participants provided perception. Results from multilevel regression analyses showed informant-perception profiles converge ( B 0.599, p < .001), even after controlling normativeness (distinctive convergence: 0.442, .001). Moreover, talking about event—but not informant’s presence at event—was linked higher overall distinctive Additionally, perceived closeness between was associated indicate could provide new insights into nature

Personality-development research is flourishing. Here, we extend these efforts horizontally (new constructs) and vertically levels within the same construct) by charting out age-graded differences in Schwarz’s human values across 80,814 individuals. Conducting a systematic investigation of cross-sectional values—from late teenage years to post-retirement—featuring 36 analytical model choices 180,000 simulation-based decisions, our analyses replicate some earlier findings (e.g., increasing self- growth-focus during adolescence security concerns adulthood), while also highlighting complex previously unappreciated dynamics. As such, it common practice aggregate specific into parsimonious higher-order concepts ease interpretation, this may risk overlooking meaningful trends lower-order value development. Specifically, revealing unique asynchronous patterns for nuances, find that aggregation (a) leads loss critical information, (b) creates conflicting results when nuances diverge, (c) significantly reduces predictive power.

Abstract This article is the first to quantify interindividual effects of different major life events (MLEs) on retrospective perceptions individual-level linguistic change across adult lifespan. In this cross-sectional study, 701 German-speaking participants from Austria completed an online survey measuring extent which MLEs in educational, occupational, and personal domain are associated with perceived changes productive affective-attitudinal aspects sociolinguistic repertoire. Bayesian modeling revealed that such as beginning a tertiary degree, entry into workforce, retirement were impact participants’ varietal use. Overall, however, factors dialect identity appear be more readily susceptible MLE-related change. These results help pave new path for variationist agendas approach lifespan not result chronological age, but rather phenomenon influenced by individual experiential complexly intertwined process aging.

Life satisfaction has been shown to change over time, but we know little about how people perceive those changes. In preregistered analyses, the current research investigated degree of correspondence between people’s retrospective perceptions life and their measured (Sample A analytic N = 359; Sample B 336). On average, were moderately correlated with ( r .20–.25). When evaluating change, participants reported that they focused more on present compared past, considered circumstances than feelings, engaged in careful consideration relying gut instinct. Findings suggest have some insight into changes satisfaction. Consistent individual differences (IDELS) model, a variety evaluation strategies differed from one another which used each strategy.

Abstract Major life events (MLEs) in the educational domain such as graduating school or beginning a new degree set an important course for each individual’s life. However, impact of MLEs on patterns individual-level language change across lifespan, and how their may vary among individuals, is far from clear. In this article, we thus demonstrate variation perceived linguistic affected by (i.e., school, degree, university) 181 Austrian participants with first German. Our goal to both quantitatively qualitatively investigate which constellation individual differences event experiences other psychosocial factors are associated reported following MLEs. Bayesian modeling indicated that gender proficiency nonstandard varieties were particularly predictive change. Qualitative analysis revealed blended operation socio-affective biography-related being MLE-related sociolinguistic repertoire.

Informal caregiving provides societally important healthcare functions but can take a toll on caregivers, with negative consequences for well-being. However, little is known about other psychological effects of informal and their specific temporal trajectories. Here, we focused personality traits examined selection (who becomes caregiver?) socialization (how do caregivers change over time?). We used longitudinal data from Dutch, German, Australian representative panel studies (83,706 observations, 24,530 caregivers) to examine caregivers’ Big Five traits. Respondents higher in openness were slightly more likely the role. Over transition caregiving, found no consistent evidence within-person changes. increasing time spent increased neuroticism two three and, item-level, tended become less lazy, considerate, worried.

Optimism is the generalized sense that good things will happen in future, and people higher optimism typically experience a host of positive personal relational outcomes. However, when ostensibly important life events to optimists pessimists, they rarely change their perspective about future. One potential reason are resilient circumstances might vary how perceive those circumstances. Another source confusion whether these perceptions driven by optimistic thinking per se or lack pessimistic thinking. In current study, we examined pessimists differ large sample ( N = 929) college students answering questions hypothetical events. The pessimism scale largely drove unlikely someone’s personality, such four findings from composite were found for subscale but only two subscale. Nevertheless, tended think worldview, more externally controlled, less emotionally significant, likely negatively affect social standing.

The current research examined three related questions in a 21-month longitudinal study of diverse sample U.S. participants ( N = 504): (a) How did Big Five traits change during the COVID-19 pandemic? (b) What factors were associated with individual differences trait change? and (c) was downstream well-being, mental health, physical health? On average, across period, conscientiousness increased slightly, extraversion decreased slightly. Individual trajectories varied around these average trajectories, although few predicted differences, greater increases conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, decreases neuroticism better well-being fewer health symptoms. present provides evidence that can context major global stressor socially desirable patterns are health.

This study tests whether memory impairment and perceived increases in stress due to life changes independently contribute similar personality changes, such as increased neuroticism decreased conscientiousness.

People responding to personality questionnaires rate themselves by comparing some reference group, but this group is typically not specified. In study, we examined the differences between Big Five trait scores when people responded without a specified as typical in assessment, and they were asked compare general, close others, their age, same gender, ideal self, or past self. We found that tended be more adaptive for between-person comparisons than within-person comparisons. also unprompted instructions produced mildly higher across all traits. There few among conditions. Men rated slightly agreeable other men. Implications basic applied assessment are discussed.
