The Joy Is Mine
Across the globe, active efforts are underway to enhance the well‐being of citizens. However, the empirical work informing these investments largely ignores core assumptions of well‐being theories: that both the determinants and dynamic nature of well‐being are best captured at the person‐level. Instead, studies largely aggregate across determinants and dynamics, losing the unique experience of individual well‐being. This mismatch creates a press…
Linking person-specific network parameters to between-person trait change
1 personality networks and then included network parameters in multilevel growth models over a 2-year period using self- and informant-report data. We found that network parameters were largely unrelated to between-person change for self-reports but were related to some informant-reports. Discussion revolves around continuing to bridge the two approaches together to create a holistic picture of personality change. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 20…
Longitudinal course and correlates of realness
People who are real are able to express how they truly think and feel and what they truly want even when there is social pressure not to. Previous research suggests that realness is associated with better social functioning and adaptive personality traits including lower neuroticism and higher extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness. However, unlike other measures of the broader concept of authenticity, realness is not related to agreeablen…
Exploring public support for farmed animal welfare policy and advocacy across 23 countries
Farmed animal policy and advocacy efforts both attempt to generate and depend upon public support. However, relatively little is known about the factors that predict support for animal protection legislation and advocacy across the globe. We analyse data from a large international survey (23 countries, n = 20,966) alongside other data sources on animal advocacy to investigate knowledge of factory farming, the connection between attitudes towards …
Incremental relations between self-understanding and social functioning beyond personality traits in young adults
Personality models differentiate personality traits from self-understanding. • Tested if self-understanding adds to social functioning beyond personality traits. • Coherence in self-understanding has an incremental link to social functioning. • Self-understanding does not moderate links between personality traits and social functioning. Personality traits are well-established predictors of social functioning, but contemporary models of personalit…
Collective Stressors Affect the Psychosocial Development of Young Adults
Young adulthood is a critical developmental life stage and a period of enhanced vulnerability to stress. In 2020, young adults in Northern California were faced with a series of unforeseen, collective stressors: the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme wildfires, social tension associated with the murder of George Floyd, and a contentious election that culminated in an attack on the nation’s capital. In a natural experiment, we compared the psychosocial de…
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 …
Selection and socialization effects of studying abroad
OBJECTIVES: Studying abroad is often considered a life-changing experience. However, research on studying abroad has not always disentangled selection from socialization effects, leading to uncertainty about the actual impact of this experience. In this 4-wave longitudinal study, we examined both selection and socialization effects of a 4-week intensive study abroad program on 17 psychosocial variables related to motivation, academic achievement,…
Associations of air pollution with peripheral inflammation and cardiac autonomic physiology in children
Climate change-related disasters have drawn increased attention to the impact of air pollution on health. 122 children ages 9-11 years old, M(SD) = 9.91(.56), participated. Levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) near participants' homes were obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency. Cytokines were assayed from 100 child serum samples: IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNFα. Autonomic physiology was indexed by pre-ejection period (PEP), respiratory si…
