ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts a wide range of research centered on three areas: the measurement and theory of personality, its development and change, and its effects. Its guiding questions are how personality should be understood, how much it is influenced by genes and environment and how it changes, and how strongly it affects things such as health and well-being.
Measurement and Theory of Personality
Under the question "How should personality be understood?", the lab studies the measurement and theory of personality.
Development and Change of Personality
The lab studies how much personality is influenced by genes and environment, and how it develops and changes.
Effects of Personality
The lab studies how strongly personality affects health, well-being, and educational and social attainment, and what kinds of environments and approaches suit each individual.
Measurement and Development of Intellectual Humility
In collaboration with researchers at other universities, the lab is developing a new method for measuring intellectual humility that uses a forced-choice format and is less affected by response bias. It also examines developmental change with age and associations with other personality traits, cognitive abilities, and adjustment.
