Psychological scientists are increasingly using preregistration as a tool to increase the credibility of research findings. Many benefits rest on assumption that preregistered plans followed perfectly. However, suggests this is exception rather than norm, and there many reasons why researchers may deviate from their plans. Preregistration can still be valuable tool, even in presence deviations, long those deviations well documented transparently reported. Unfortunately, most psychology go...
Loneliness is a pervasive experience with adverse impacts on health and well-being. Despite its significance, notable gaps impede full understanding of how loneliness changes across the adult life span what factors influence these changes. To address this, we conducted coordinated data analysis nine longitudinal studies encompassing 128,118 participants ages 13 to 103 from over 20 countries. Using harmonized variables models, examined trajectories predictors. Analyses revealed that follows
One large focus of personality psychology is to understand the biopsychosocial factors responsible for adult development and well-being change. However, little known about how macro-level contextual factors, such as rurality-urbanicity, are related

The present research aimed to better understand deficits in emotion differentiation that accompany depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms have been associated with more undifferentiated negative experiences-experiencing multiple emotions simultaneously. We extend previous by asking: (a) Are and positive related above beyond intensity? (b) specific distinct categories of (sadness, guilt, anger, anxiety)? (c) Do age or gender predict its associations symptoms?In 220 community participants...
The goal of this paper was to examine associations between personality traits and resilience neuropathologic burden.
Despite the importance of life satisfaction for health and well-being, there is a paucity longitudinal studies tracking changes in ethnic minority youth. In sample 674 Mexican-origin youth, present research examined trajectories from middle (age 14) to late adolescence 17) young adulthood 21). On average, did not change significantly age 14 17, then decreased 17 21 (
Daily life is full of emotional ups and downs. In contrast, the objective conditions our lives usually remain relatively stable from day to day. The degree which downs influence satisfaction-which prima facie should be stable-remains a puzzle. present article, we propose Individual Differences in Evaluating Life Satisfaction (IDELS) model address this IDELS posits that people differ processes by they evaluate their satisfaction: Some people's satisfaction more strongly associated with...
People who are higher in conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness lower neuroticism tend to live longer. The present research tested the hypothesis that personality trait change middle older adulthood would also be associated with mortality risk, above beyond level. Personality may causally influence risk through corresponding changes health behaviors, social processes, stress experience. Alternatively, a marker of successful or unsuccessful adaptation life circumstances, which...
Disability has traditionally been viewed as a deficit in psychology research; however, accruing work suggests that viewing disability an identity may be protective for mental health and well-being among disabled individuals. Therefore, developing measures comprehensively capture this view of is important step promoting individuals' flourishing. To address this, we conducted two studies aimed at validating new scale to measure physical adults with disability. In Study 1 (N = 104), solicited...
Life satisfaction has been shown to change over time, but we know little about how people perceive those changes. In preregistered analyses, the current research investigated degree of correspondence between people’s retrospective perceptions life and their measured (Sample A analytic N = 359; Sample B 336). On average, were moderately correlated with ( r .20–.25). When evaluating change, participants reported that they focused more on present compared past, considered circumstances than...
ABSTRACT Objective The present study tested preregistered predictions regarding the prospective associations between level and change in subjective well-being (SWB) physical health. Methods In two large longitudinal panel studies conducted United States ( N = 3294) Japan 657), we used multilevel growth curve models to estimate components of SWB (i.e., life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect). Next, random intercepts slopes predict subsequent self-reported general health number...
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended behavioral measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, such as social distancing wearing masks. Although many individuals comply with these recommendations, compliance has been far from universal. Identifying predictors is crucial improving health behavior messaging thereby reducing disease fatalities.
How people respond to health threats can influence their own and, when are facing communal risks, even community's health. We propose that commonly by managing emotions with cognitive strategies such as reappraisal, which reduce fear and protect mental However, because also motivate behaviors, reducing may jeopardize behaviors. In two diverse U.S. samples (N = 1,241) tracked across 3 months, sequential cross-lagged panel mediation models indicated reappraisal predicted lower about an ongoing...
Not all older adults with dementia-related neuropathology in their brains experience cognitive decline or impairment. Instead, some people maintain relatively normal functioning despite neuropathologic burden, a phenomenon called resilience. Using longitudinal, epidemiological, clinical-pathologic cohort study of the United States ( N = 348), present research investigated associations between well-being and Consistent preregistered hypotheses, results showed that higher eudaimonic (measured...
In the present research, we investigated effects of self- and situation-focused reappraisal, which are 2 distinct types cognitive on emotion experiences, memory, electrocortical responses to unpleasant pictures. Study 1, reappraisal was found improve recall accuracy, whereas self-focused had no effect. Both strategy were associated with reductions in self-reported negative emotion, larger during reappraisal. 2, event-related potentials (ERPs) measured while participants engaged types....
