  • Vystopia

    Open Access•Maxim Trenkenschuh, Renja L Fischer et al.•ARTICLE•Society and Animals•2026

    Identifying specific emotional stressors is a valuable tool for addressing mental health problems. Vegans often experience emotional strain due to heightened exposure to the suffering of animals, a phenomenon termed “vystopia.” Given the rising rates of veganism in the West, this is likely to be an increasingly salient concern. However, there are no validated measures to assess vystopia. In this study, we developed and validated an 8-item Vystopi…

  • Self-efficacy predicts differential neuroticism change in a smartphone-based intervention.

    Michael D Krämer, Amanda J Wright et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2026

    25.88; 85% female; Residence: 47% Switzerland, 26% Germany, 26% Austria, 1% other), we tested whether self-efficacy and growth mindset predict change in multiple neuroticism measures across a 6-week intervention and 2-month follow-up. To isolate temporal processes during the intervention, we examined codevelopment of weekly neuroticism and self-efficacy and their week-to-week temporal associations. We found evidence for self-efficacy predicting d…

  • Self-Esteem and Sexual Experiences

    Open Access•Elisa Weber, Christopher J Hopwood et al.•ARTICLE•Personality and Social Psychology…•2026

    There is evidence that people with higher self-esteem tend to have more satisfying sexual relationships, but little is known about how changes in people’s self-esteem and sexual experiences are related over time. Several theories predict reciprocal effects between self-esteem and sexual experiences. The present study tested these theories using 12-wave longitudinal data from more than 11,000 participants of a representative sample in Germany. Dat…

  • Revisiting Clinical Scholarship at JPA

  • The Mini Version of the Level of Personality Functioning Scale-Brief Form (Mini-LPFS)

    Open Access•Alberto Stefana, Laura C Weekers et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2026

    This study developed and validated a mini (4-item) version of the Level of Personality Functioning Scale–Brief Form 2.0 (LPFS–BF 2.0) to assess personality functioning as defined in the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. Two samples were used: a U.S. clinical sample (N = 700) and a Dutch mixed clinical sample (N = 298). In the U.S. sample, participants completed the LPFS–BF 2.0, the Big Five Inventory–2-Extra-Short Form, and sever…

  • Developing an Italian Adaptation of the Interpersonal Sensitivities Circumplex (ISC-IT) Using Ant Colony Optimization

    Marco Di Sarno, Leon P Wendt et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2026

    The Interpersonal Sensitivities Circumplex (ISC) measures individual differences in the sensitivity to interpersonal behaviors, organized along the dimensions of agency (e.g., sensitivity to others’ assertive behavior) and communion (e.g., sensitivity to others’ warm behavior). The present study aimed at validating a 40-item Italian adaptation of the ISC using methods that advance previous approaches to developing circumplex measures. Specificall…

  • Where human–animal psychology is going next

    Open Access•Kristof Dhont, Christopher J Hopwood et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology of Human-Animal…•2026

    Research on human relations with other animals raises distinctive challenges for psy chological science.Few other areas of psychological research are as closely tied to realworld, normalised systems of harm and institutionalised practices of animal exploitation and consumption.The implications of research in the field of human-animal relations therefore extend well beyond theory, methodological novelty, or empirical discovery.Innovative insights …

  • Associations between romantic partners’ dietary motives and their plant-based meat alternative consumption

    Open Access•Sandro Jenni, Maxim Trenkenschuh et al.•ARTICLE•Appetite•2026•References: 53

    Plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) play a key role in the transition towards more sustainable food systems. Consumer research has so far primarily focused on how personal factors influence people's decisions for or against PBMAs. Yet dietary choices are socially embedded and subject to interpersonal influences. Among these, romantic partners may be particularly important for each other's PBMA consumption because of their close relationship and…

  • Defensive reactions to a meat reduction intervention

    Open Access•João Graça, Emma Fanter et al.•ARTICLE•Appetite•2026•References: 99

    Shifting from meat-centric to plant-based diets can mitigate climate change, improve public health, and reduce animal suffering, among other socially beneficial outcomes. However, efforts to encourage these changes sometimes provoke defensive reactions, and there is limited experimental evidence on how and why such reactions occur. We tested a brief meat reduction intervention in a preregistered experiment with a demographically representative sa…

  • Tailoring personality interventions

    Peter Haehner, Amanda J Wright et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2026

    Personality interventions are a field of growing interest, because many people want to change aspects of their personality and personality changes may positively impact important life outcomes. Although initial research shows that personality interventions can be successful in eliciting lasting trait changes, the strategies, timing, and context of effective personality interventions remain unclear. A careful examination of how these characteristi…

  • The Problem No One is Talking About

    Abby L Mulay, Emily D Gottfried et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2025

    Historically, forensic evaluators have relied heavily upon various editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders when rendering psycholegal opinions. The field of mental health is increasing moving toward dimensional models of personality and psychopathology in lieu of traditional DSM categorical models, though the domains of forensic psychology and psychiatry have been slow to make this transition. The current study there…

  • Validation of the Persian Version of the ICD-11 Compatible Personality Inventory for DSM-5– Brief Form Plus, Modified

    Saeid Komasi, André Kerber et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2025

    Clinical assessment increasingly emphasizes six maladaptive domains of the DSM-5 and ICD-11 trait models, including negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism/dissociality, disinhibition, psychoticism, and anankastia. The present study aimed to validate the Persian version of the ICD-11 compatible Personality Inventory for DSM-5–Brief Form Plus, Modified (PID5BF + M). Data from a mixed sample including 1,615 adults (community N = 1,476 and outp…

  • Distinguishing Interpersonal Problems, Sensitivities, Values, and Efficacies

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Maxim Trenkenschuh et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2025

    Covariation among the octant scales of Interpersonal Circumplex (IPC) measures can be accounted for by a general elevation factor and two stylistic factors that can be rotated to reflect dominance and warmth. IPC measures are available to assess different interpersonal surfaces, or different kinds of interpersonal functioning. Administration of multiple IPC measures enables multisurface interpersonal assessment, in which both convergences and div…

  • Better Theories and Better Research Will Make Personality Disorder Assessment More Clinically Useful

    Christopher J Hopwood•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2025

  • Personality Functioning, Problems in Living, and Personality Traits

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2025

    The publication of the Alternative Model of Personality Disorder (AMPD) was a signpost achievement in the personality assessment. However, research on the AMPD has generally not led to either a deeper understanding of personality disorder or personality assessment or new ideas about how to provide better care for people with personality disorder diagnoses. A significant portion of research has focused on narrow issues and appears to be driven in …

  • Personality and Cultural Income Differences Shape the Life Satisfaction Gap Between Aging Immigrants and Natives in Europe

    Open Access•Wiebke Bleidorn, Madeline R Lenhausen et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2025

    The present study examined the size and possible sources of life satisfaction differences between immigrants and natives in a sample of over 55,000 adults (aged 50+ years) across 16 European countries and Israel. Consistent with theory and prior research, immigrants reported lower life satisfaction than natives on average, while the size of the life satisfaction gap varied substantially across individuals and countries. Low neuroticism and high e…

  • High Openness and Low Conscientiousness Predict Green Party Preferences and Voting

    Open Access•Wiebke Bleidorn, Thomas Schilling et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2025

    A substantial rise of vote shares of Green parties across European countries suggests an increasing support of environmental issues. A critical question for researchers and policymakers alike is, who endorses Green parties? Here, we examined the Big Five personality predictors of green partisanship, voting behavior, and party switching in a nationally representative sample of more than 27,000 Germans collected over a period of 16 years. Consisten…

  • Longitudinal Changes in Maladaptive Personality Domains and Clinical Outcomes

    Open Access•Alessandro Ocera, Christopher J Hopwood et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•2025

    Background : Maladaptive personality traits are transdiagnostic risk factors associated with functional impairment, lower treatment efficacy, and poor mental health outcomes. These traits, encompassing domains such as Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition, Psychoticism, and Anankastia, contribute to difficulties in emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and occupational functioning. While increasing evidence sugg…

  • Associations between motivations for and against eating meat with four types of meat engagement

    Open Access•Maxim Trenkenschuh, João Graça et al.•ARTICLE•Appetite•2025•References: 44

    Because of its negative consequences for animal welfare, human health, and the environment, many individuals and institutions are interested in reducing meat consumption. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand the reasons people have both to eat meat (e.g., liking the taste) and to avoid it (e.g., environmental concerns), and how these reasons relate to meat engagement. However, existing research often examines motivations and outcom…

  • Personality trait change in three sub-Saharan countries

    Open Access•Peter Haehner, Luzelle Naudé et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2025

    Over the last 20 years, personality development has become one of the most widely studied topics in personality science. However, evidence on normative and event-related personality development stems almost exclusively from Western countries, providing limited insight into the cross-cultural generalizability of personality trait changes. To address this limitation, we used data from the Africa Long Life Study to examine personality development in…

  • What explains personality change intervention effects

    Michael D Krämer, Christopher J Hopwood et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2025

    Volitional personality change interventions have been shown to help people change their current personality toward their ideal personality. Here, we address three limitations of this literature. First, we contrast the dominant theoretical perspective of self-improvement with self-acceptance as pathways to reduce the discrepancy between current and ideal personality. Second, we test how well-being aspects change as a by-product of targeting person…

  • Is psychological research producing the kind of knowledge clinicians find useful

    Christopher J Hopwood, Katie Aafjes–van Doorn et al.•ARTICLE•American Psychologist•2025

    The science-practice gap is a barrier to evidence-based health care. We sought to examine the match between the kinds of studies done by clinical psychology researchers and the kinds of evidence practicing clinicians find useful. We reviewed the prevalence of research questions on how people differ from one another (between-person) and how people differ from their own averages across time (within-person) in six high-impact clinical psychology jou…

  • Personality and Meat Consumption Among Romantic Partners in Daily Life

    Open Access•Nicholas Poh‐Jie Tan, Nicholas Poh-Jie Tan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2025•References: 58

    OBJECTIVE: Eating is often a social activity that can be influenced by others, particularly in close relationships when dietary preferences reflect underlying value differences. We sought to examine the personality traits of meat-eating couples who differ in their preferences for meat. METHOD: We recruited Swiss romantic couples in which one partner typically consumed more meat than the other (N = 272, couples = 136). At baseline, participants co…

    Personality traits are powerful predictors of outcomes in the domains of education, work, relationships, health, and well-being. The recognized importance of personality traits has raised questions about their policy relevance, that is, their potential to inform policy actions designed to improve human welfare.

  • Genetic and environmental influences on personality trait stability and growth during the transition to adulthood

    Christopher J Hopwood, M Brent Donnellan et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2011•Cited by: 15

    During the transition to adulthood individuals typically settle into adult roles in love and work. This transition also involves significant changes in personality traits that are generally in the direction of greater maturity and increased stability. Competing hypotheses have been offered to account for these personality changes: The intrinsic maturation hypothesis suggests that change trajectories are endogenous, whereas the life-course hypothe…

  • Refining the maturity principle of personality development by examining facets, close others, and comaturation

    Ted Schwaba, Wiebke Bleidorn et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2022•Cited by: 8•References: 2

    Across adulthood, people tend to experience psychologically adaptive personality trait change, a robust finding known as the maturity principle of personality development. We identify three open areas of inquiry regarding personality maturation and address them in a preregistered study, using a sample of U.S. adults ages 30-70 who completed a battery of personality questionnaires and were rated by two close others twice over an 11- to 16-year per…

  • Development and validation of the motivations to Eat Meat Inventory

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Jared Piazza et al.•ARTICLE•Appetite•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 48

    Previous research suggests that there are four primary motives to eat meat: that it is natural, normal, necessary, or nice. However, these motives have not yet been distinguished empirically; the lack of a measurement tool that can distinguish these motives has contributed to a literature that focuses primarily on meat-eating motivation or justification in general, as opposed to differences between these motives. We developed a 19-item measure, t…

  • Evaluating the evidence for the general factor of personality across multiple inventories

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Mirjana Krstivojević et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research in Personality•2011•Cited by: 7•References: 33

    A general factor of personality (GFP) has been proposed as the apex of a personality trait hierarchy that explains covariance among the lower-order factors measured by various personality inventories. In this study we evaluated the GFP hypothesis across several personality inventories, unlike most previous research in which the GFP has been derived from individual instruments in isolation. Exploratory analyses did not produce substantial evidence…

  • Disentangling self-concept clarity and self-esteem in young adults

    Self-concept clarity and self-esteem are powerful determinants of people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Yet, even after over 30 years of research, the conceptual and empirical ties between these two self-aspects remain understudied, and little is known about the nature and function of their relationship. The present study aimed at discerning the empirical similarities and differences between self-concept clarity and self-esteem in order to …

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Alexander G Stahlmann et al.•ARTICLE•Anthrozoös•2023•Cited by: 5•References: 46

    People vary in their compassion for animals, likely due in part to more variation in more basic personality and interpersonal behavior attributes. Previous research has generally suggested that more communal and agreeable people also tend to be more compassionate to animals. However, this research is limited regarding the range and depth of individual differences used to examine this issue. The goal of this preregistered study was to extend previ…

  • It’s time to replace the personality disorders with the interpersonal disorders

    Aidan G C Wright, Whitney R Ringwald et al.•ARTICLE•American Psychologist•2022•Cited by: 5•References: 1

    Personality disorders (PDs) are among the most common and severe classes of psychopathology. From a clinical perspective, it is challenging to help individuals with personality disorders because treatment ruptures, discontinuation, reversals, and failures are relatively common. An additional clinical challenge is that the model used to diagnose personality disorders is demonstrably incorrect. Recent efforts to improve diagnosis of personality dis…

    We established realness as the relatively stable tendency to act on the outside the way one feels on the inside, without regard for proximal personal or social consequences. In nine studies, we showed that realness is a) a core feature of individual differences in authenticity, b) generally adaptive but largely unrelated to agreeableness, c) highly stable, d) reliably observable in dyadic behavior, and e) predictive of responses to situations wit…

    Previous research suggests that people hold both positive and negative stereotypes of vegans, but little is known about the specific content of those stereotypes. In two studies (total N = 2,027), we identified the structure of meat-eaters’ stereotypes of vegans and developed a scale to measure them. Stereotypes of vegans assorted into three positive (compassionate, healthy, and self-disciplined) and three negative (unconventional, condescending,…

    The last 2 decades have witnessed increased research on the role of life events in personality trait development, but few findings appear to be robust. We propose that a key to resolving this issue is incorporating individuals' subjective experiences into the study of event-related development. To test this, we developed and administered a survey about event-related personality change to a representative Dutch sample (N = 5,513, Ages 16-95) and l…

    Suicide among young people is an increasingly prevalent and devastating public health crisis around the world. To reduce the rate of suicide, it is important to identify factors that can help us better predict suicidal ideation and behaviors. Adolescent temperament (effortful control, negative emotionality, positive emotionality) may be a source of risk and resilience for the onset of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts. The present study uses…

    Open Access•Wiebke Bleidorn, Ted Schwaba et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2021

    Life span theories of human development assert that people prioritize emotional values over informational values when they believe their time is limited. This process unfolds naturally as people age but may be accelerated by life-threatening events. We tested whether the experience of serious health adversity leads to changes in value orientation. Using 10 annual waves of data from a nationally representative sample, we charted the course of valu…

  • Charting self‐esteem during marital dissolution

    Open Access•Wiebke Bleidorn, Ted Schwaba et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2021

    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to chart changes in self-esteem before and after marital dissolution to identify the factors that shape individuals' self-esteem during this life transition. METHOD: We analyzed 10 annual waves of self-esteem data from 291 divorcees from a nationally representative panel study of the Netherlands (N ~ 13,000). We charted the course of self-esteem before and after marital dissolution and tested a broad set o…

  • A response surface analysis investigation of the effects of (mis)alignment between interpersonal values and efficacies on interpersonal problems

    Open Access•Madeline Kehl, Elizabeth A Edershile et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2021

    OBJECTIVE: In this study we examined whether discrepancies between interpersonal values and interpersonal efficacies are associated with distress, and provide a framework through which similar questions regarding intrapersonal alignment may be investigated. METHOD: Using interpersonal circumplex scales, we assessed interpersonal values and efficacies in two large samples (undergraduate N = 1,453, community N = 1,099) and used response surface ana…

  • Development and validation of the motivations to Eat Meat Inventory

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Jared Piazza et al.•ARTICLE•Appetite•2021•Cited by: 8•References: 48

    Previous research suggests that there are four primary motives to eat meat: that it is natural, normal, necessary, or nice. However, these motives have not yet been distinguished empirically; the lack of a measurement tool that can distinguish these motives has contributed to a literature that focuses primarily on meat-eating motivation or justification in general, as opposed to differences between these motives. We developed a 19-item measure, t…

  • Realness is a core feature of authenticity

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Evan W Good et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Research in Personality•2021•Cited by: 5•References: 86

    We established realness as the relatively stable tendency to act on the outside the way one feels on the inside, without regard for proximal personal or social consequences. In nine studies, we showed that realness is a) a core feature of individual differences in authenticity, b) generally adaptive but largely unrelated to agreeableness, c) highly stable, d) reliably observable in dyadic behavior, and e) predictive of responses to situations wit…

  • The role of temperament in the onset of suicidal ideation and behaviors across adolescence

    Open Access•Katherine M Lawson, John K Kellerman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2021•Cited by: 3•References: 4

    Suicide among young people is an increasingly prevalent and devastating public health crisis around the world. To reduce the rate of suicide, it is important to identify factors that can help us better predict suicidal ideation and behaviors. Adolescent temperament (effortful control, negative emotionality, positive emotionality) may be a source of risk and resilience for the onset of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts. The present study uses…

  • Connecting Theory to Methods in Longitudinal Research

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Wiebke Bleidorn et al.•ARTICLE•Perspectives on Psychological…•2022

    Advances in methods for longitudinal data collection and analysis have prompted a surge of research on psychological processes. However, decisions about how to time assessments are often not explicitly tethered to theories about psychological processes but are instead justified on methodological (e.g., power) or practical (e.g., feasibility) grounds. In many cases, methodological decisions are not explicitly justified at all. The disconnect betwe…

  • Assessing Parent-Adolescent Substance Use Discussions Using the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics

    Samuel N Meisel, Craig R Colder et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2022

    Assessing parent-child interactions is critical for understanding family dynamics, however tools available for capturing these dynamics are limited. The current study sought to examine the validity of the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID) for understanding the dynamics of parent-adolescent substance use discussions. Specifically, we examined how CAID parameters were related to indicators of parenting and substance use. Sixty-…

  • Assessing Personality Change

    Open Access•Christopher J Hopwood, Wiebke Bleidorn et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality Assessment•2022

    Both clinical and personality psychologists are interested in assessing personality change, although they have tended to approach the issue in different ways. In this paper we argue that both sub-fields should focus more on basic issues in the assessment of personality change, and that they would make more progress on this issue together than alone. This Special Section on the Assessment of Personality Change includes four papers by researchers w…
