Cross-lagged models are by far the most commonly used method to test prospective effect of one construct on another, yet there no guidelines for interpreting size cross-lagged effects. This research aims establish empirical benchmarks effects, focusing panel model (CLPM) and random intercept (RI-CLPM). We drew a quasirepresentative sample studies published in four subfields psychology (i.e., developmental, social-personality, clinical, industrial-organizational). The dataset included 1,028...
It is well established that goals energize and direct behaviour across the lifespan. To better understand how are embedded in people's lives adulthood, present research examined life goals’ content (health, personal growth, prosocial engagement, social relations, status, work), dynamics (interplay between goal importance attainability), outcomes (subjective well–being) from a developmental perspective. We argue people rate those as important attainable enable them to master tasks, they adapt...
Relationship science contends that the quality of couples’ communication predicts relationship satisfaction over time. Most studies testing these links have examined between-person associations, yet couple dynamics are also theorized at within-person level: For a given couple, worsened is presumed to predict deteriorations in future satisfaction. We within-couple associations between and three longitudinal studies. Across studies, there were some lagged deviations negative changes (and vice...
In this preregistered research, we tested whether there is a systematic, terminal decline in relationship satisfaction when people approach the end of their romantic relationship. Data came from four longitudinal studies with national samples. analyses, used (piecewise) multilevel models propensity score-matched event and control groups. Across studies, sample sizes ranged 987 to 3,373 for groups 1,351 4,717 Relationship systematically declined as function time-to-separation. The prior...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>: This protocol describes a research project investigating changes in individual differences the context of relationship transitions single and partnered individuals. While prior has examined long-term personality change life events, this study takes fine-grained, dynamic approach to capture short-term before, during, after transitions. The integrates trait-level, state-level, situational perspectives examine how traits states co-evolve with By...
Loneliness describes a perceived deficiency in quantitative or qualitative aspects of individuals’ social relationships. Whereas the health-related consequences loneliness are well-documented, surprisingly little is known about its interpersonal features and for relationship outcomes. In present study, we investigated association between experiences partner relationships with sample 937 individuals from 480 mixed-sex couples. By employing actor-partner interdependence models dyadic...
Research suggests that relationship satisfaction changes in systematic ways over the course of a relationship. In this preregistered study, we tested whether differently as function eventual outcome relationship, is, lasted, it was dissolved, and people began new after separation. Data came from large longitudinal study (the Longitudinal Study Generations), including 2,268 participants aged 16-90 years, who were assessed at up to seven waves across 20 years. We used multilevel models examine...
This study examines the impact of bereavement on self-esteem and life satisfaction in both partners a romantic couple. We investigate moderating effects type lost relationship (close family, close friends/others) characteristics (daily social support, responsiveness-closeness, self-disclosure). examined 1238 individuals 619 male–female couples from ages 18 to 81 ( M [ SD] = 31.97 years [13.26]). Both completed questionnaires at two assessments that were 20 months SD 2.02 months) apart,...
Abstract Narrative identity is an internal and evolving life story in which the narrator integrates conceptions of personal past, present, presumed future within a coherent story‐based framework. Carrying number social implications, this construct represents psychological resource. We contend that, like itself, one's history romantic domain as well current relationship(s) are often viewed using frameworks. As such, we argue that greater adoption narrative approach close relationships...
The associations between couple members’ personality and their relationship satisfaction can be conceptualized as reciprocal transactions. To better understand these transactions, we focused on both partners’ interpersonal vulnerabilities (i.e. neuroticism, low self–esteem, insecure attachment); daily emotional, cognitive, behavioural components perceived responsiveness, positive expectations, self–disclosure); satisfaction. Specifically, examined whether the average levels within–person...
In Western societies, singlehood has become increasingly normative over historical time. But whether singles are more satisfied nowadays remains unclear. this preregistered cohort-sequential study, we analyzed data from 2,936 German participants ( M = 21.01 years, SD 7.60 years) different birth cohorts. Singlehood satisfaction and life were reported annually at two time periods (2008-2011 2018-2021). This design allowed us to compare earlier-born later-born during adolescence (14-20 years),...
Young adulthood is a critical developmental life stage and period of enhanced vulnerability to stress. In 2020, young adults in Northern California were faced with series unforeseen, collective stressors: the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme wildfires, social tension associated murder George Floyd, contentious election that culminated an attack on nation’s capital. natural experiment, we compared psychosocial development 415 across 8 monthly assessment waves during 2020 control cohort ( n = 465)...
According to the integrative framework for studying people, personality manifests and develops along three separate, but related, levels: actor (e.g. traits), agent goals), author (i.e. narratives). Although these levels are thought be conceptually interrelated, few studies have empirically examined such interrelations. To address this gap, present study tested how traits, goals, narratives longitudinally related each other whether master motives (getting getting ahead) serve as helpful...
Relationship beliefs (i.e., destiny and growth beliefs) are associated with important relationship outcomes. Destiny describe the belief that a is meant to be while tendency relationships can cultivated maintained through effort. Based on longitudinal sample of people in romantic ( N = 904 couples), we examined whether predict current levels trajectories satisfaction across 2 years. Using dyadic curve models, found individuals stronger generally reported higher initial satisfaction....
Humans are motivated to expand their actual self toward an ideal self. Known as the Michelangelo phenomenon, movement can be facilitated through affirming romantic partner and is linked positive life outcomes. Yet, research on phenomenon has primarily focused young adult samples, it remains unknown whether framework generalizes across span. The authors addressed this shortcoming by examining in a three-generation sample of 505 adults aged 18–90 years ( M = 47.2 years). Multilevel analyses...
Within social and personality psychology, researchers interested in narrative storytelling have most often considered participants’ life stories, or identities. This focus has led to the construction of “narrative identity approach,” a conceptual empirical paradigm tailored assessing storied sense self. Narrative processing is common route by which individuals understand not only themselves, their lives, variety phenomena, including romantic relationships. As such, we argue on behalf...
Throughout their lives, people experience different relationship events, such as beginning or dissolving a romantic relationship. Personality traits predict the occurrence of events (i.e., selection effects), and changes in personality socialization summarized personality-relationship transactions. So far, evidence was partly inconsistent to how are linked with each other. In this article, we argue that unnoticed age differences might have led these inconsistencies. To systematically test...
