My first PhD paper is out 🎉🐣

We examined transactions between Big Five traits and first sexual intercourse across up to 10 years and ~5,000 German adolescents.

Extraversion stood out 🔄🧠

Agreeableness + openness showed interesting patterns as well

The ‘shades of grey’ in research integrity—Researchers admit to questionable research practices that they do not perceive to be serious Research misconduct practices like fabrication, falsification and plagiarism (FFP) are serious deviations from good research conduct, which have attracted attention in the literature due to the damage...

"We find that questionable research practices (QRPs) are widespread across all fields of research and seniority levels. Yet, younger, more prolific researchers, and those dismissing the seriousness of QRPs admitted to more QRPs"

Remaining single in your twenties is linked to lower life satisfaction A longitudinal analysis of British and German youth finds that staying single through the twenties correlates with rising loneliness and falling life satisfaction, widening the gap with partnered peers.

Did you ever stand in a bookshop and wondered who tends to buy self-help books, and whether people who buy them actually change? Here, we looked at these questions for self-help products more generally (also apps, seminars, etc.), which are a rapidly (1/3)

Many claim that first sex is a huge risk for teens. We tested that claim in a large, nationally representative German sample. Core question: Do first sexual experiences harm adolescents, or do they reflect prior well-being?

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)

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.

Investigation of Response Aggregation Methods in Divergent Thinking Assessments Divergent thinking (DT) ability is widely regarded as a central cognitive capacity underlying creativity, but its assessment is challenged by the fact that DT tasks yield a variable number of respons...

How should we score divergent thinking tasks to best assess the ability to generate creative ideas? 🤔 It’s a big question in creativity research, so we systematically compared different scoring approaches to evaluate their psychometric quality. Check out our findings!

New preprint 🤗

Life events are a commonly studied environmental factor believed to influence normal-range personality development (such as the Big Five), but how well does this extend to features of personality pathology? (1/7)

Made my conference debut talking about #sexualdebut and its relationship with #personalitytraits. Like many others, I did not make it to the @dgps.bsky.social #DGPs2024 congress @univie.ac.at, but still enjoyed my digital experience a lot!

Already excited for the @dgps.bsky.social congress next week in Vienna? 🇦🇹 If you're around on Wed. 9:30, we'd love to see you in our symposium on social drivers of personality change w/ Manon van Scheppingen, Larissa Wieczorek, Eva Bleckmann, & @rosalieandrae.bsky.social (who created this graphic😊)

Excited to share that you can now read the preprint to our investigation of response aggregation methods in divergent thinking assessments: osf.io/preprints/os.... Big thanks to @srtzki.bsky.social , Boris Forthmann, and Mathias Benedek!
