Behavioral tendencies thought to be conducive to happiness were quantified by linking each participant's 160 self-likelihood ratings to a prototype of the happy person, with the idea that participants who matched the prototype to a greater extent would act in ways that promote happiness in their daily lives.Results: This person-in-context approach to assessment worked in that higher behavioral tendencies of happiness (BT-H) scores were strongly predictive of happiness and well-being, with additional results providing insights into how the relevant tendencies operate.Conclusions: The research demonstrates the value of understanding broad constructs, such as happiness, on the basis of more particular person-situation-behavior units.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144765646","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}

In Study 1 (n = 202), we thematically analyzed layperson definitions of narcissism and compared their central contents with widely used narcissism measures. In Study 2 (n = 640), participants freely listed terms they associated with narcissistic or selfless acquaintances and rated them on a series of interpersonal dimensions (e.g., attributes, personal values).ResultsStudy 1 found that narcissism is most commonly conceptualized in relation to selfishness and vanity, and that divergences exist between public conceptualizations of narcissism and how it is operationalized in research. Study 2 found that although narcissistic acquaintances are ascribed greater grandiose relative to vulnerable traits (e.g., high extraversion, low agreeableness), they are also judged less favorably and perceived as placing greater (lesser) emphasis on self‐enhancement (self‐transcendence) values, relative to non‐narcissistic acquaintances.ConclusionThese findings broaden our knowledge of lay perspectives of narcissism and offer important theoretical (e.g., conceptualizations of narcissism) and practical implications (e.g., improving public communications regarding narcissism).","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144611285","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}

They reached their highest levels in late adulthood and exhibited more erratic patterns around retirement age. In the overall and pre‐COVID samples, mean‐score differences were most pronounced during the transition from early to middle adulthood. In the COVID sample, similar patterns emerged, though we observed generally higher Humility scores, pronounced adolescent disruption, and the biggest differences between early and middle adulthood.ConclusionsAge‐graded trends in Humility aligned fully with some established patterns of personality trait development (i.e., psychological maturation, maturation reversal) and partially with others (i.e., disruption hypothesis).

It also examines the moderating roles of demographic factors (i.e., gender and age), cultural differences, contextual variations, flow dimensions, and the instruments used to assess personality and flow.MethodA systematic search was conducted across ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science, identifying 24 eligible studies reporting associations between Big Five traits and flow. A total of 352 effect sizes were analyzed using a three‐level random‐effects model. Moderator analyses examined the influence of demographic, cultural, contextual, and methodological factors.ResultsResults reveal a medium‐sized positive association between Conscientiousness and flow (r = 0.33), while Extraversion (r = 0.25), Openness (r = 0.18), and Agreeableness (r = 0.16) show smaller positive relationships. Neuroticism has a small negative relationship with flow (r = −0.16). Significant moderating effects were identified for culture, with stronger correlations in Eastern cultures for Extraversion, Openness, and Agreeableness.ConclusionsThese findings emphasize the importance of considering personality traits when studying flow.

However, age differences in these dimensions have mostly been examined in adolescence and young adulthood, leaving questions about their variation across the adult lifespan. Additionally, associations between identity and life satisfaction have been equally understudied in adult populations.Method: We examined these questions in a large, nationally representative U.K. sample (N = 3869; age range 18-97). Identity processes were measured using an abbreviated Dimensions of Identity Development Scale. After invariance testing by age groups, we examined age differences across identity dimensions: Commitment and Exploration (depth, breadth, ruminative).Results: Older individuals reported lower scores on all exploration dimensions until late adulthood. However, though no age differences in commitment were observed between early and middle adulthood, less commitment was reported from middle to late adulthood. Additionally, commitment and exploration in depth were consistently positively associated with life satisfaction, whereas ruminative exploration negatively predicted life satisfaction, with stronger associations appearing in later adulthood.Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the feasibility of studying identity across adulthood from a measurement perspective and highlight how identity dimensions relate to well-being at different ages.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144498470","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}

Mixed-effects location scale models were used.RESULTSAgency and communion were positively associated with self-esteem at the beginning of the transition. While communion did not predict instability in state self-esteem, we found some evidence for agency negatively predicting self-esteem instability across days but not across moments. Results neither revealed differences in trait changes as a function of agency or communion nor significant heterogeneity in change trajectories overall.

While these models are very versatile, their complexity poses a significant hurdle to their implementation.RESULTSThis tutorial helps facilitate the application of MM-LST-RF models. First, we present two simpler methodological approaches in which the full MM-LST-RF model is broken down into its (a) multimethod and (b) random and fixed situation components. Key parameters and model coefficients are highlighted using a motivational example. Second, we present a user-friendly shiny app based on a newly developed R function. Users are walked through the process of specifying, estimating, and interpreting an MM-LST-RF model guided by detailed explanations of all specification options and practical use recommendations.CONCLUSIONThe shiny app facilitates the analysis of data from longitudinal study designs implementing multiple methods and (fixed) situations, helping researchers gain a deeper understanding of psychological constructs.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296134","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}
