This study aimed to investigate the daily impact of PEBs on EWB from a causal perspective, examining whether manipulating daily PEBs would result in higher levels of EWB on those days.MethodWe adopted the Within‐Person Encouragement Design, an experimental approach employing instrumental variable estimation, in a Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling framework. Participants were 63 Italian young adults assessed over 21 days and who received 11 randomized encouragements (i.e., “Today we ask you to implement more pro‐environmental actions than you would normally enact on a typical day”).ResultsA significant positive adherence effect of the encouragement on PEB, and a significant positive treatment effect of PEB on EWB was found.ConclusionThese findings are promising for advancing successful behavioral interventions designed to encourage daily PEBs in younger generations and highlight the importance of PEBs for experiencing a more meaningful life and enhanced connectedness with others.","PeriodicalId":48421,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personality","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143661265","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 broader research question, seen through the lens of embodied cognition, is whether cognition and personality in youth develop from basic sensorimotor and communicative systems in infancy.MethodThe sample included 9202 participants from a representative UK birth cohort. A structural equation model examined the prospective associations between motor and communicative functions at age 9 months, cognition, self‐regulation, and prosociality at 5 years, and the five‐factor model of personality at 17 years. The associations between psychomotor function and the meta‐traits of stability and plasticity were also explored.ResultsEven after controlling for confounders and correcting for multiple paths, there was robust evidence that psychomotor development significantly predicts personality structure, with indirect pathways mediated by self‐regulation skills and general or social cognitive skills in middle childhood. While infant communicative function was significantly associated with both meta‐traits, gross motor function was significantly associated with plasticity but not stability.ConclusionsEarly psychomotor function may have long‐term effects on personality, mediated by cognitive, social, and self‐regulation skills.
