Preprint Radar 📡: Ever wondered how loneliness and personality interact with each other over time? Together with @wiebkeb.bsky.social and @peterhaehner.bsky.social ner.bsky.social, I examined this question using data from three nationally representative panels (N = 63,555). osf.io/preprints/ps...

** Very proud supervisor moment ** Check out Lukas' first first author paper on self-esteem development after negative life events, now published at EJP:

Lukas Schellenberg@schellenberglukas.bsky.social · 10mo ago

New paper out! 🎢 We found that following negative life events most people's self-esteem tends to increase again–though some don't seem to recover. Personality traits and perceived event characteristics predicted who recovered vs. who did not. @peterhaehner.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/0890...

Wie verändert sich unsere Persönlichkeit über ein Jahr? Dazu starten wir heute eine neue Studie und suchen nach Teilnehmenden zwischen 18-40 Jahren, die Interesse haben, Einblicke in ihre Persönlichkeit, Wohlbefinden und Verhalten über ein Jahr zu erhalten und bis zu 173 CHF (~185€) zu verdienen.

New preprint! Ever heard that personality doesn't change? Do you believe that? (you shouldn't) Using data from an online survey (n = 887) & eight longitudinal datasets (n = 166,971), we compared perceived vs. actual lifespan changes in personality and 20+ individual differences (1/8) osf.io/ytmxp

In the last months, I supervised two super-talented research interns (unfortunately Bluesky-less). They were interested in how self-esteem develops after negative events and examined this question in a longitudinal study over 6 months. You can find their results here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Ever wondered whether our personality influences our first sexual milestone? 🍒 We explored how the Big Five traits affect the timing of first sexual experiences — and how these, in turn, shape personality traits over time. Check out our preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf... #PersonalityPsych

The question I've got asked most frequently at conferences when I was presenting something on the perception of life events was whether there are any age differences. Using data from the SOEP-IS, we addressed this simple but interessting question. Open-access link: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

The perception of major life events across the life course

To better understand the effects of life events, research interest recently turned to the question of how life events are perceived (e.g., as positive, predictable, or controllable). However, research...

+++ New Preprint Alert +++ Together with @ajwright.bsky.social, @mdkraemer.bsky.social, and @wiebkeb.bsky.social, I worked on two coordinated data analyses to examine event-related personality changes. CDA1: osf.io/preprints/ps... CDA2: osf.io/preprints/ps... ⬇️Details below⬇️

One of the best things about doing research is when you aim to do one thing but an unexpected more interesting thing happens. We were concerned that #perpsy intervention research focused too much on changing and not enough on accepting. We compared these approaches and this happened:

I am very excited to announce that my first first-author publication was accepted at JPSP: doi.org/10.1037/pspp... Thank you, @peterhaehner.bsky.social and @maikeluhmann.bsky.social, for your incredible support! Here is what we found: (1/7)

Can people choose to change their personality traits? Probably yes! In our new systemtic review (preprint), we provide an overview of the emerging literature on volitional personality change: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Do people become more alike across the lifespan? Is the variability of personality traits changing across time and age? In our meta-analyis on changes in personality variability, we integrated data from more than 300 longitudinal studies to answer these questions. Preprint: osf.io/yk3eh/

First #skeet, with high hopes for this new place! 🥳😄 Stay tuned for updates of our research on differential psychology, personality, cognitive ability, and assessment at the University of Zurich (UZH). Also perhaps the occasional job posting 🧑‍🔬
