A Practical Guide for Integrating Community-Engaged Research Across the Psychological Research Cycle
Despite growing calls to increase diversity in research, methodological approaches that could address this issue remain underused. In this article, we argue that community-engaged research (CEnR), a framework that ultimately seeks to create genuine partnerships between researchers and marginalized communities, offers a solution for making psychological research more diverse while strengthening scientific rigor. We provide a practical guide for im…
Why Do You Want a Romantic Relationship? Individual Differences in Motives for Romantic Relationship Pursuit
Relationship science currently lacks a theoretical approach to capture the variety of motivations potentially underlying the pursuit of romantic relationships. We introduce the Autonomous Motivation for Romantic Pursuit Scale (AMRPS) which conceptualizes and measures motivations ranging in levels of autonomy (from a motivation to intrinsic motivation), based on self-determination theory (SDT). In Study 1 ( N = 1,280), we show how the motivations …
How you ask matters: Evidence-based assessment connecting decentering, reappraisal, and self-reported wellbeing in a post-secondary sample
Effective and efficient Wellbeing measurement is essential within the social sciences and public health. Wellbeing is described as a three-factor construct composed of Life Satisfaction, Positive Affect, and Negative Affect, yet there are few measurement models validated for the increasingly popular use of longitudinal, app-based assessment. We explored Wellbeing measurement in a postsecondary student sample, including two mechanistic indicators …
Person‐specific priorities in solitude
OBJECTIVE: People value solitude in varying degrees. Theories and studies suggest that people's appreciation of solitude varies considerably across persons (e.g., an introverted person may value solitude more than an extraverted person), and solitude experiences (i.e., on average, people may value some functions of solitude, e.g., privacy, more than other functions, e.g., self-discovery). What are the unique contributions of these two sources? ME…
Dispositional Gratitude Trajectories of Syrian Origin Young Adults in the Netherlands
Despite many challenges of resettling in a host country, people with refugee backgrounds can experience positive changes. We examined changes in dispositional gratitude across 13 months in 168 Syrian origin young adults who were resettling in the Netherlands. Latent class growth analysis revealed three trajectories: moderate-stable (44%), low-decreasing (42%), and high-decreasing (14%). Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that more tr…
An examination of personality expression in everyday life in a Canadian sample of racialized undergraduate students
Objective There is a growing body of research regarding the situations that are linked to personality expression in daily life. We examined racialized young adults' experiences of racial and ethnic cues, and variables from prior personality expression research. Method We assessed Big Five personality states in racialized undergraduate students ( N = 180) in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada using experience sampling methodology. Participants ( M a…
There Goes My Hero: The Role of Exemplars in Identity Formation
In this paper, we argue that who one is and wants to become is closely related to whom one admires. Although the links between identity formation and exemplars have been largely neglected, we claim that integrating both literature studies provides interesting new insights. First, exemplars can play an important role in and constitute a powerful tool for people’s identity construction. Second, insights into identity formation processes can help be…
Investigating the within-person structure and correlates of emotional experiences in everyday life using an emotion family approach
How do people think about the impressions they make on others? The attitudes and substance of metaperceptions
This research aims to further our understanding of the processes of metaperception formation and meta-accuracy by introducing the positivity-specificity model to metaperception, which can be used to disentangle two components of trait metaperceptions: metapositivity (attitudes) and trait-specificity (substance). In two North American samples (Sample 1, N = 547; Sample 2, N = 553), we used the positivity-specificity model to investigate five impor…
Post‐traumatic growth as positive personality change: Challenges, opportunities, and recommendations
OBJECTIVE: Post-traumatic growth typically refers to enduring positive psychological change experienced as a result of adversity, trauma, or highly challenging life circumstances. Critics have challenged insights from much of the prior research on this topic, pinpointing its significant methodological limitations. In response to these critiques, we propose that post-traumatic growth can be more accurately captured in terms of personality change-a…
Self-esteem and satisfaction with social relationships across time
14,741). When using CT-SEM, we found a bidirectional positive relation between self-esteem and satisfaction with social relationships, with larger effects over longer intervals. When using RI-CT-SEM, we found the largest effects of self-esteem and satisfaction with social relationships across intervals of 1 year, with smaller effect sizes at both shorter and longer intervals. In addition, the effect of fluctuations in people's satisfaction with s…
Measuring moral politics: How strict and nurturant family values explain individual differences in conservatism, liberalism, and the political middle
Individuals' political stances tend to place them into the conservative "right," the liberal "left," or the moderate "middle." What might explain this pattern of division? Moral Politics Theory (Lakoff, 1996) holds that political attitudes arise from moral worldviews that are conceptually anchored in contrasting family models-the strict-father and nurturant-parent models-while the political middle is morally "biconceptual," endorsing both models …
An Examination of Different Scale Usage Correction Procedures to Enhance Cross-Cultural Data Comparability
This study aims to examine different scale usage correction procedures that are meant to enhance the cross-cultural comparability of Likert scale data. Specifically, we examined a priori study design (i.e., anchoring vignettes and overclaiming) and post hoc statistical procedures (i.e., ipsatization and extreme response style correction) in data from the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment across 64 countries. We analyzed both ori…
A Review of Current Ambulatory Assessment Studies in Adolescent Samples and Practical Recommendations
The use of ambulatory assessment ( AA ) and related methods (experience sampling, ecological momentary assessment) has greatly increased within the field of adolescent psychology. In this guide, we describe important practices for conducting AA studies in adolescent samples. To better understand how researchers have been implementing AA study designs, we present a review of 23 AA studies that were conducted in adolescent samples from 2017. Result…
Transactions between life events and personality traits across the adult lifespan
Life events refer to status changes in important demographic variables, such as employment or marital status. Life events offer an interesting opportunity for studying transactions between environmental changes and personality traits, which are of relevance for diverging theories about the role of environmental factors in life span personality development. Yet in spite of the potential importance of life events for personality development, nuance…
Self-esteem and relationship satisfaction during the transition to motherhood
In the current study, we used 5 waves of longitudinal data from a large representative sample of Norwegian mothers (N = 84,711) to examine the association between romantic relationship satisfaction and self-esteem before and after childbirth in subgroups of first-, second-, third-, and fourth-time mothers. Maternal self-esteem showed a highly similar change pattern across subgroups. Specifically, self-esteem decreased during pregnancy, increased …
Openness to experience and culture-openness transactions across the lifespan
We examined the life span development of openness to experience and tested whether change in this personality trait was associated with change in cultural activity, such as attending the opera or visiting museums. Data came from the Dutch Longitudinal Internet Study for the Social Sciences panel, which includes 5 personality assessments across a 7-year period of a nationally representative sample of 7,353 individuals, aged 16 to 95 years. Latent …
High, low, and in between: Self-esteem development from middle childhood to young adulthood
Dispositional contempt: A first look at the contemptuous person
the tendency to look down on, distance, and derogate others who violate our standards. We then unpack the dynamics of dispositional contempt. Across 6 studies using self-report and emotion elicitation in student and MTurk samples (Ns = 165 to 1,368), we examined its (a) nomological network, (b) personality and behavioral correlates, and (c) implications for relationship functioning. Dispositional contempt was distinguished from tendencies toward …
Many Labs 3: Evaluating participant pool quality across the academic semester via replication
Cross-cultural evidence for the two-facet structure of pride
Continuity and change in self-esteem during emerging adulthood
The present study examined the development of self-esteem in a sample of emerging adults (N = 295) followed longitudinally over 4 years of college. Six waves of self-esteem data were available. Participants also rated, at the end of their 4th year, the degree to which they thought their self-esteem had changed during college. Rank-order stability was high across all waves of data (Mdn disattenuated correlation = .87). On average, self-esteem leve…
