Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has had devastating effects the Ukrainian population and global economy, environment, political order. However, little is known about psychological states surrounding outbreak war, particularly mental well-being individuals outside Ukraine. Here, we present a longitudinal experience-sampling study convenience sample from 17 European countries (total participants = 1,341, total assessments 44,894, with >100 5) that allows us to...
Abstract To slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, German government released ‘Corona-Warn-App’, a smartphone application that warns users if they have come into contact with other tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Since using ‘Corona-Warn-App’ is health-relevant behavior, it essential to understand who (and not) and why. In N = 1972 adults, we found non-users were on average older, female, healthier, in training had low general trust others. The most frequently named reasons by privacy concerns,...
Research on major life events and personality change often focuses the occurrence of specific such as childbirth, unemployment, or divorce. However, this typical approach has three important limitations: (1) Life are typically measured categorically, (2) it is assumed that people experience from same event in way, (3) external ratings have unknown levels validity. To address these limitations, we examined how common perceived, much perceptions vary within events, well correspond to...
Negative life events can lead to lasting changes in subjective well-being (SWB). However, people change differently their SWB after negative events, and our understanding of factors explaining these individual differences is still limited-possibly because research so far has neglected investigate the characteristics experienced (e.g., perceived impact, causes event). To address this gap, we examined whether event objective-descriptive explain SWB. We used data from a longitudinal study which...
The occurrence of major life events is associated with changes in well-being and personality. To better understand these effects, it important to consider how individuals perceive events. Although theories such as appraisal theory affective adaptation suggest that event perceptions change over time are relevant for personality well-being, stability perceived characteristics have not been systematically examined. This article aims fill this gap using data from a longitudinal study (N = 619 at...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak has dramatically altered people’s social lives due to strict distancing policies. Increased loneliness been publicly discussed as a harmful psychological side effect of these However, thus far, empirical evidence was lacking. This large scale daily diary study assessed in N = 4,850 German adults from March 16, 2020 until April 12, 2020. Daily increased during the first two weeks Covid 19 lockdown and decreased thereafter. We identified...
What happens when you add a “not relevant” response option to the unipolar scales of personality state items? In an experimental experience sampling study with between-person design (total N = 248; n 3,253 observations), we compared states measured scale including or not option. Overall, responses were quite prevalent but varied between items. Certain characteristics situation (particularly sociality) person predicted use Additionally, means and distributions significantly differed different...
Abstract We present a global experience‐sampling method (ESM) study aimed at describing, predicting, and understanding individual differences in well‐being during times of crisis such as the COVID‐19 pandemic. This international ESM is collaborative effort over 60 interdisciplinary researchers from around world “Coping with Corona” (CoCo) project. The comprises trait‐, state‐, daily‐level data 7490 participants 20 countries (total measurements = 207,263; total daily 73,295) collected between...

Personality traits describe how people typically think, feel, and behave. states behave in a given moment. In their daily lives, often the way they do (they enact trait-congruent personality states), but occasionally differently from (trait-incongruent states). Several theories propose that such incongruent should be associated with undesirable outcomes as less positive affect or more tiredness, current state of evidence is inconclusive mostly based on one dimension: extraversion. this...

Fit hypotheses are a common theme in psychological theories. Various theoretical approaches postulate that fit is also relevant for the within-person dynamics of personality states. A better understanding these important to comprehend functioning and its relations life outcomes. Two forms states: states with characteristics current situation (state-situation fit) trait levels (state-trait fit). Both assumed be related more positive affect.

Physical activity and sports participation are positively related to physical mental health as well subjective well-being. Various approaches have been used explain these associations. In our study, we propose that person-environment fit can partly the association between We examined what extent an athlete’s individual personality trait levels typical of athletes in their discipline (supplementary fit) is associated with different indicators two online surveys, assessed Big Five using...
Personality traits are strongly related to affect, but the mechanisms accounting for this association remain mostly unclear. We test a new theoretical model that proposes personality states, situation characteristics, and affective states mediate relation between trait affect. Data from an experience sampling study (N = 206; 4,381 observations) indicate associated with experienced characteristics state affect is these variables indeed These results emphasize importance of daily experiences...

Are personality states relevant and applicable in every situation? Although this question is important from both a theoretical methodological perspective, detailed investigation of the (ir)relevance everyday situations still needed. In an experimental experience sampling study (total N = 248; n 3,253 observations), we compared measured with scale including or not “not relevant” response option. Overall, responses were quite prevalent, but prevalence varied considerably among states, items,...
ObjectivesIn team sports, many anecdotes and stereotypes report personality differences between athletes of different playing positions. However, by now research shows ambiguous results often only single sports have been examined. This preregistered study, thus, represents a first comprehensive investigation in traits (1) performing (2) being offense players defense players, as well (3) on DesignIn an online survey, we assessed self-reported Big Five for 2,322 16 (popular – e.g. Basketball...
