1/5 New paper!
How do adolescents' personality traits and skills change across a school year? And how are these changes linked with academics, social relationships, and well-being?
New paper led by @cmnapolitano in press at @EJPBlog
Brief highlights in the thread below...
4/5 Key finding #3:

Are you and your partner two peas in a pod, or do opposites attract? Together with @R_Gabriel_Olaru and Thomas Leopold, I explored why long-term couples are similar in personality. Check out our preprint (to appear in JPSP) here: osf.io/2s5ua/

Life satisfaction is mostly about personality, for most people, most of the time. Even more so, than we thought.
Likely the most comprehensive study yet is now out in the JPSP: doi.org/10.1037/pspp0000501 🧵

The #SIOP2024 (I/O psych) and #WCP2024 audience may be interested in the interactive web app showing personality trait differences among 263 jobs.
(Psychologists are among the most open occupations, btw. And actors are the most neurotic, it turns out.)
