Overall, we believe our study offers valuable insight into the conceptual (dis)similarity of personality traits and personality functioning, informs joint theoretical frameworks, and can advance treatment of personality disorders by identifying conditions in which changes in personality pathology may be expected or best captured (6/7)

New paper out at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science! We examined unconditional & event-related changes in personality functioning (Criterion A of the AMPD) and the Big Five across 4 metrics: rank-order stability, mean-level change, within-person variability, ipsative consistency Our goal was to compare & better understand developmental links between pathological and normal-range personality, how these links varied depending on the occurrence of life events, and whether similarities vs differences emerged across distinct metrics (1/7)

Ultimately, people do believe that personality traits are more stable than other aspects of life. However, these beliefs aren't consistent with empirical evidence where personality, on the whole, has lifespan changes that are almost indistinguishable from other individual differences Given the implications of personality & beliefs about its changes for individual and societal well-being, we argue that greater outreach efforts & improved, more widespread dissemination of research findings about personality's malleability should be shared goals among social scientists, clinicians, and policymakers alike (6/7)

New preprint! Have you ever heard or said that personality doesn't change? Do you still believe that? (you shouldn't) Using data from an online survey (n = 887) and eight longitudinal panel datasets (n = 166,971), we compared perceived vs. actual lifespan changes in personality and 20+ individual differences from core life domains (1/7) osf.io/ytmxp
