Reflections on the changing image of psychologists’ personality
We respond to Zhang's (2026) commentary on our study concerning the 170-year evolution of psychologists' personality portraits (Xu et al., 2026). We acknowledge the effects of the growth of the publishing industry on the composition of the corpus and its linguistic limitations. Furthermore, we discuss how large language models offer a promising avenue for comparing public professional images with actual personality traits. Regarding the rise of t…
Personality portrait of psychologists in 170 years of English books
Psychologists' public image has long reflected broader cultural and disciplinary shifts, yet little is known about how their personality stereotypes have changed over time. In this study, we conducted a large-scale analysis of over 16 million English-language books published between 1850 and 2019 to examine how psychologists have been described in terms of the Big Five personality traits. Frequency analysis revealed that conscientiousness was the…

This article seeks to address this gap by presenting an interdisciplinary study that explores the gendering mechanisms associated with personality traits and personality trait-denoting adjectives. The findings of earl…

It was hypothesized that words that represent those personality traits that are advantageous in occupations typical for modern societies have increased in frequency. …
