The study of pathological personality traits has gained increasing popularity, but our knowledge on their association with emotion regulation (ER) processes is limited.Methods: The present cross-sectional study investigated how pathological profiles relate to the regular and contextual selection and subjective effectiveness of a variety of ER strategies based on the Process Model and the Cognitive ER Questionnaire. Participants (N = 412, M age = 22.87) completed measures of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5, and habitual ER use and effectiveness, and ER use in hypothetical scenarios.Results: Four profiles were obtained using Latent Profile Analysis, which differed in their ER patterns. The Resilient and Undercontrolled profiles consistently favored more adaptive strategies (such as Acceptance and Planning) and rated them as effective. The Anti-resilient group employed less adaptive strategies (such as Rumination), regularly and in different contexts, and tended to consider them more effective. The Overcontrolled profile showed a mixed pattern, relying on adaptive and maladaptive strategies, with a tendency to perceive adaptive strategies as less effective.Conclusion: Our findings document the regulation patterns of pathological profiles and offer a more nuanced understanding of their emotion regulation processes on a regular and situational basis.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased emphasis on the assessment of self-functioning with LPF has led scholars to advocate for the inclusion of narrative identity into these models. The current study aimed to examine the utility of narrative identity for the assessment of LPF, and as an aid alongside LPF in predicting a relevant clinical outcome-functional impairment.Methods: Life story narratives, alongside measures of LPF and functional impairment, were collected from 141 emerging adults (Mage = 20.70, SD = 2.08) drawn from a mixed college and clinical sample with borderline personality disorder.Results: Maladaptive LPF was significantly associated with greater narrative deterioration and lower levels of agency, communion, and growth at the bivariate level. Regression analyzes revealed that narrative agency significantly predicted more adaptive self-reported LPF, whereas narrative deterioration predicted more maladaptive interview-rated LPF.

Yet the field draws on diverse methods across disciplines, and variation in conceptualizations and approaches has not been systematically captured. This review synthesizes the meta-accuracy literature across relational contexts, research foci, attribute domains, and measurement approaches.Method: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we searched five databases (January 2025; coverage through December 31, 2024) for peer-reviewed empirical studies assessing meta-accuracy. Two reviewers independently screened 1,336 records and extracted data using a preregistered protocol (OSF: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/VMH6W).Results: Ninety-three studies met inclusion criteria: dyadic meta-accuracy (DMA; k = 56; 60.2%), generalized meta-accuracy (GMA; k = 17; 18.3%), and combined approaches (k = 20; 21.5%). DMA and GMA differed in interaction settings and acquaintance levels; research foci diverged across disciplines; most studies targeted personality traits; and measurement approaches varied across studies. The majority of studies were cross-sectional (k = 88; 94.6%) and most samples were tertiary students (k = 60; 64.5%).Conclusion: This review systematically maps the conceptual, methodological, and contextual diversity in meta-accuracy research. We propose three priorities: (1) standardizing terminology to distinguish DMA from GMA, (2) transparent reporting of measurement approaches, and (3) developing unified frameworks that bridge disciplinary boundaries to support integrated future research.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, in everyday life, people draw both difficulty‐as‐importance and difficulty‐as‐impossibility inferences when tasks or goals feel hard to think about (ecological validity). Second, how much people endorse each inference is both an individual difference and context sensitive (trait‐like and state‐like). Third, strong (unambiguous) contexts shift momentary endorsement (context matters). Methods Five studies ( N = 2746, undergraduates except Study 2) apply autobiographical recall, secondary data analyses, daily diaries, and experimental methods. All use validated difficulty‐as‐importance and difficulty‐as‐impossibility scales. Results Ecological validity: people recall making both inferences a few times monthly (Study 1, N = 986). Trait–state: difficulty‐as‐importance and difficulty‐as‐impossibility scores differ between and fluctuate within persons about equally (Study 2, N = 733 elementary‐to‐high‐school‐aged students; Study 4, N = 260, n = 2789 two‐week daily diaries). Trait difficulty‐as‐impossibility predicts preference for easier tasks (Study 3, N = 216); trait difficulty‐as‐importance predicts daily meaningful engagement with school (Study 4). Daily difficulty‐as‐importance and difficulty‐as‐impossibility are associated with daily self‐esteem, self‐compassion, and self‐efficacy (Study 4). Context: Strong contexts shape momentary difficulty‐as‐importance and difficulty‐as‐impossibility scores (Study 5, N = 551). Conclusion Results support three key assumptions and suggest that difficulty mindsets can be meaningfully considered as consequential traits and as fluctuating states affected by strong (unambiguous) contexts.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147744135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research explores the complex interdependencies of psychological factors and digital dependence (problematic social media use) factors giving rise to FoMO in Gen Z. Method We used a survey research design combined with fuzzy‐set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to examine the phenomenon among the Gen Z ( n = 100) from a configurational rather than traditional linear perspective. Results Leveraging evidence from Gen Z social media users, the analysis demonstrates six different causal paths to high FoMO. They involve social comparison and validation need‐driven configurations, emotionally dependent configurations including loneliness and anxiety, and vulnerabilities‐rooted configurations. The results underline the complex, multifaceted nature of FoMO and reinforce the necessity for taking into consideration multiple interacting influences over isolated predictors. Conclusion The study provides useful guidelines for practitioners and managers on mitigating challenges posed by FoMO among Gen Z.

However, it remains unclear how verbal behaviors during self-presentation are associated with self-esteem. This uncertainty stems from the lack of fine-grained linguistic analysis. In addition, existing findings on the relationship between verbal behaviors and self-esteem are inconsistent, possibly due to variations in the content of self-presentation. The present research aims to address these limitations.METHODIn Study 1, 211 participants (178 female) completed two self-presentation tasks based on the social-cognitive dimensions of agency and communion. Twelve linguistic features across lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels were extracted using computational linguistic techniques and analyzed via ridge regression. Study 2 recruited an independent sample of 63 participants (50 female) to replicate Study 1's findings using machine learning methods.RESULTSStudy 1 showed that linguistic features (e.g., adverbials, positive and negative emotion sentences) were consistently associated with self-esteem across both tasks. Specifically, linguistic features in agency-based self-presentation predicted self-esteem more effectively (R2 = 0.106) than those in the communion-based task (R2 = 0.042). Study 2 suggested stronger generalizability in the agency task.CONCLUSIONSVerbal behaviors are associated with self-esteem and are moderated by the content of self-presentation.

Yet, not much is known about its temporal stability and how life events affect it. Conceptualizations of coping have mainly focused on either (i) stable, trait-like characteristics, (ii) state-like, context-dependent features, or (iii) process-oriented aspects of coping. This preregistered study integrates these approaches to investigate the variability and stability of five dimensions of proactive coping. It further examines whether proactive coping is sensitive to an exemplary life event: unemployment.METHODSThe study uses monthly panel data of two cohorts of initially employed German job seekers (N1 = 1540; N2 = 909). It utilizes a latent-state-trait model with autoregressive effects.RESULTSProactive coping was highly stable over time. This stability was largely driven by dispositional (trait) differences. Situation-specific factors had a very small effect. Similarly, the effects of previous situations were overall small; however, they were larger on the early and late occasions of measurement. Furthermore, no effects of unemployment were found. The results were largely similar in the two cohorts.CONCLUSIONProactive coping is highly stable over time and across episodes of employment and unemployment. However, it also contains a dynamic component, which suggests it can be affected by situational influences.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147630235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
