UC Davis is doing a faculty search for a developmental psychologist focused on socioemotional development and/or health. We are particularly interested in candidates who examine developmental processes in diverse contexts or underrepresented communities. recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06660

Two tweets in two days. Wild.
I am excited and honored to announce that I’ve accepted a tenure-track position at @UCDavisPsych in the Quantitative Psychology area beginning in July.
Couldn’t stage a formal photo op since I have to review some simulation results.
New measures added at Wave 13 or 14 include: DSM5 psychiatric interview, adverse childhood experiences, purpose in life, gratitude, future time perspective, economic preferences/delay discounting, diet, WHODAS (functioning in daily activities), blood pressure, health biomarkers/2
I'm very excited to announce that data from Wave 13 of the CFP are now available for youth, moms, and dads, allowing us to study development across 17 years (age 10 to 26). Wave 14 is in progress and should be complete by summer 2025! /1
New CFP paper by @RoxieRXCheng shows that temperament trajectories across adolescence have prospective effects on academic outcomes. Increases in effortful control had a particularly strong impact on academic success when parental monitoring was low. researchgate.net/publication…

Does anyone know of a Spanish translation of the DSM-5 Level 1 Cross-Cutting Symptom Measure? NIMH is requiring that we use this measure in the CFP but I can't find an "official" (or any) Spanish translation. nda.nih.gov/data_structure.h…
@CFPresearch had a strong presence at #ARP2023. @0liviaAtherton received the ARP Dissertation Award for work on the devt of effortful control & @KaileyLawson received the ARP Emerging Scholar Award for work on personality & psychological adjustment in adolescence/early adulthood
Other #ARP2023 presentations using CFP data were given by @winkie_ma (devt of narcissism), Rongxin Cheng (temperament predictors of school success), Evan Warfel (co-devt of parent and child personality), and @WhitneyRingwald (development of personality)

Enjoyed rereading this paper on personality and rel't satisfaction in dyads (Robins et al): "Every [dyadic] relationship is made up of two personalities, and both partners' personality traits jointly and uniquely shape the quality of their relationship." researchgate.net/publication…

There’s a HUGE gap in personality development research–it's focused on the Big 5, but personality is hierarchical! So we know little about processes at higher-order (metatrait) or lower-order (facet) levels.
So we studied it! & the results are SO COOL! psyarxiv.com/ft3cq/
New CFP article examining bidirectional associations between self-esteem and relational aggression. The findings are complex but do not support the widely held belief that being a victim of relational aggression contributes to low self-esteem researchgate.net/publication…
