This study examined the dynamic interplay between extraversion and subjectively perceived sociality of situations using continuous-time dynamic modeling. In a week-long experience sampling study, we collected 4,694 reports of state extraversion and perceived sociality from a sample of university students. Results showed that changes in state extraversion lasted longer and took longer to return to baseline than changes in perceived sociality. Increases in state extraversion predicted subsequent increases in perceived sociality, whereas increases in perceived sociality predicted subsequent decreases in state extraversion. Cross-lagged effects reached their maximum at 1.5 h lag. The negative cross-lagged effect of sociality on state extraversion suggests a compensatory mechanism of temporal reduction of extraverted behavior in an effort to balance the level of social engagement.

The manipulative, exploitative, and indifferent behavior of individuals with high scores on the trait of Machiavellianism attracts research interest in their cognitive and affective emphathic skills; however, the findings are contradictory. We explored the neurostructural substrates of Machiavellianism using voxel-based morphometry analysis with a large sample of 202 full-time employees. Consistent with our expectation, the association of Machiavellianism and its neurostructural basis with the perceived risk of social exclusion were supported whereas that with workplace deviance were not fully supported; the results only showed a significant relationship between Machiavellianism and organizational deviance at the trait level. Our results together provide novel insights into Machiavellianism by highlighting the perspective of “High empathic response but low interest”; namely, individuals with high Machiavellianism possess affective empathic capacity, but they do not care about others.

Personality traits are well-established predictors of social functioning, but contemporary models of personality distinguish between personality traits and self-understanding, including reflecting on one’s mental states and the degree of coherence in the self-concept. This study examined whether self-understanding serves as a unique predictor of social functioning beyond personality traits. Additionally, it was explored whether self-understanding moderated the association between traits and social functioning. Participants (n = 859) completed measures on reflective functioning, self-concept clarity, personality traits, and social functioning. Self-Concept Clarity, Extraversion and Agreeableness, had significant, incremental effects on social functioning. Interaction effects were not significant. Results suggests that the ability to root experience in a coherent self-understanding provides valuable information about individual differences in social functioning.

Research has shown that a preference for sweet foods is associated with agreeableness. This association may be due to conceptual metaphors (a “sweetie”) that link sweet taste experiences to niceness. We examined the replicability and cross-cultural consistency of this effect in four samples from different countries (China, Germany, Mexico, & the U.S.). Participants (N = 1,629) completed a measure of agreeableness and two measures of sweet taste preferences. We found that agreeableness was significantly and positively correlated with two different measures of sweet taste preferences in all four samples with small effect sizes (rs = 0.10 to 18). The association between agreeableness and a sweet taste preference appears replicable and occurring across cultures at least in the samples studied.

Despite evidence of a close, cross-sectional association between dispositional envy and low self-esteem, there is no research on the mutual development of these two constructs across time. The aim of the present research was to systematically investigate correlated change and prospective effects between dispositional envy and self-esteem at the global level and within comparison domains. In two preregistered longitudinal studies across 6 years (Ntotal > 7,000 adult participants), change in dispositional envy was negatively correlated with concurrent self-esteem change at the global level and within domains. Moreover, we found preliminary evidence that self-esteem predicted later change in dispositional envy but not vice versa. Our findings illustrate that the development of dispositional envy is closely intertwined with self-esteem development.

Using data from a retrospective pre-/post-longitudinal study of young adults impacted by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 (N = 330), we investigated the main and moderating effects of hurricane exposure and the Big Five personality traits on perceived changes in health and health behaviors. Linear regressions showed that more hurricane exposure was associated with worse perceived diet changes. People who were more extraverted tended to perceive better health changes, whereas people who were more neurotic tended to perceive worse overall health, sleep, diet, and exercise changes. The association between hurricane exposure and perceived diet changes was stronger for people higher in conscientiousness, such that at high levels of hurricane exposure, people who were more conscientious tended to perceive the worst diet changes.

In a multinational study (61 countries; N = 15,039), we examined how collective narcissists, both agentic (ACN) and communal (CCN), reacted cognitively (through endorsement of unfounded conspiracy and health beliefs) and behaviorally (via prevention, hoarding, and prosociality) to the pandemic. Higher ACN and CCN predicted greater endorsement of COVID-19 unfounded beliefs and higher likelihood of having recently engaged in pandemic-related prevention, hoarding, and prosociality. The predictive effects of ACN and CCN were independent, suggesting construct separability. Fear positively predicted endorsement of unfounded beliefs and behaviors, but the slope of that relation was flattened when ACN and CCN were particularly high. Finally, the relation between ACN or CCN and outcomes changed across countries varying in collective fear.

Using longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study, we examined the association between optimism/pessimism before the pandemic and adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, optimism was associated with behaviors that reduce COVID-19 transmission and higher psychological well-being (βs>|.196|) through changes in social contacts (indirect effect βs> |.004|) and/or increases in physical activity (βs=|.01|). Separating optimism and pessimism, we found that only pessimism was associated with behaviors that reduce risk, but both optimism and pessimism were associated with psychological well-being. By investigating them in the context of new public health challenges, we found that while the presence of optimism and absence of pessimism may both be resources for well-being, the absence of pessimism may be particularly important for health-relevant behaviors.
利用健康与退休研究（Health and Retirement Study）的纵向数据，我们研究了大流行前的乐观/悲观情绪与 COVID-19 大流行期间的适应性之间的关联。总体而言，乐观情绪与通过改变社会接触（间接效应 βs>|.004|）和/或增加体育锻炼（βs=|.01|）来减少 COVID-19 传播和提高心理健康水平（βs>|.196|）的行为有关。将乐观主义和悲观主义分开后，我们发现只有悲观主义与降低风险的行为相关，但乐观主义和悲观主义都与心理健康相关。通过在新的公共卫生挑战背景下对它们进行调查，我们发现，虽然存在乐观情绪和不悲观可能都是幸福感的资源，但不悲观可能对健康相关行为尤为重要。

Value development over the life-span is rarely studied due to theory and data limitations. We use the LISS data, a Dutch longitudinal dataset, to study value change in adults aged 25–70 over 11 years from 2008 to 2019 (N=10,860), using the neo- socioanalyitcal model (NSM) as a theoretical framework. We find few cohort differences, differences between age groups and non-linear value change within individuals that continues until late adulthood. Gender differences in mean-levels are stable except in universalism and self-direction, while gender differences in rates of change are observed. We conclude that the NSM provides a fruitful framework to interpret value change as a maturation process toward becoming functioning members of society along gendered and age-graded normative stages.

This study investigated whether sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is associated with a perceptual advantage, rather than just heightened brain, emotional and behavioural reactivity. Participants (N = 222) were tested on detection and identification of visually degraded words at three levels of difficulty, and completed the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) and the Big Five Inventory. The positive subscale of the HSPS predicted both the detection and identification of visually degraded stimuli, and beyond the Big Five traits. This contradicts claims that SPS is solely a combination of Big Five traits. Importantly, the perceptual advantage for highly sensitives may balance the disadvantages of being easily overwhelmed by stimuli and indicates separate evolutionary advantages and strategies for high and low SPS humans and other mammals.
