Looking forward to our symposium tomorrow at 9am. If you're attending #DPPD25, be there or be square! @roemerle.bsky.social @laura-j-botzet.bsky.social
Slide with 3-way pointing spiderman meme: age, period, and cohort pointing at each other "A new approach to the age-period-cohort problem" Symposium abstract: Personality research pursues an exceptionally wide variety of research questions using diverse designs and analysis approaches. But more breadth can also mean more inferential problems. In this symposium, six speakers will highlight such inferential problems across different designs and spell out productive ways forward, with a particular focus on the importance of conceptual clarity and causal thinking. First, personality research often relies on online data collection which necessitates dealing with careless responding – Taym Alsalti will discuss how excluding participants may sometimes actively do more harm than good. Second, hypotheses about congruence (e.g., between the personalities of romantic partners) are often evaluated with the help of profile correlations – Ruben Arslan will discuss how distinctive profile correlations are still confounded with trait levels, despite the ostensible “control” they provide. Third, sometimes, personality researchers conduct within-subject experiments – Florian Scharf highlights how neglecting temporal trends can lead to erroneous conclusions in such data. Fourth, more often, personality research relies on observational data – Laura Botzet showcases how one can attempt to draw causal inferences based on such data in a principled manner. Fifth, personality researchers often draw inferences about personality development – Julia Rohrer will make the case that that’s also causal inference based on observational data, and present an approach for how to do so transparently. Lastly, Lena Roemer will present findings from applying this approach to the Big Five personality traits, highlighting how previous studies may have mistakenly overlooked period effects.

Spent a few lovely days at the Matterhorn Symposium in Brig 🇨🇭, where I presented joint work with @mkasper.bsky.social and others on biased institutions. Next stop: Kassel for #DPPD25 and a talk on our new scale for HEXACO personality states.
