Amanda J. Wright
Incoming Asst. Prof @tamu.bsky.social. Postdoc @uzh-diffpsy.bsky.social. PhD @washu.bsky.social.
I like personality development, change, & prediction. Depending on the day (or hour), I also like R & Bayesian stats

- Reposted by Amanda J. WrightWe already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

- Reposted by Amanda J. WrightDo you teach #rstats? Do your students complain about how lame and old-fashioned dplyr is? Don't worry: I have the solution for you: github.com/hadley/genzp.... genzplyr is dplyr, but bussin fr fr no cap.

- Reposted by Amanda J. WrightWhen we measure personality multiple times in a study, does it matter if we ask people about their personality *in general* or *since the last time point*? Turns out: yes! We found differences in internal consistency, Ms, & SDs but not in the underlying constructs 🧵 doi.org/10.31234/osf...
- Reposted by Amanda J. WrightCool preprint from @ajwright.bsky.social et al. demonstrating that personality change occurs at different time scales! www.researchgate.net/profile/Aman...

Please share with your networks and consider applying if you're on the market! Happy to (try to) answer questions about the search if you have them. Link here: apply.interfolio.com/173316
- New paper out at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science! We examined unconditional & event-related changes in pathological vs normal-range personality using 4 metrics to compare their developmental links, how these vary with life events, and whether unique effects emerge across metrics

- New preprint! Ever heard that personality doesn't change? Do you believe that? (you shouldn't) Using data from an online survey (n = 887) & eight longitudinal datasets (n = 166,971), we compared perceived vs. actual lifespan changes in personality and 20+ individual differences (1/8) osf.io/ytmxp
- Historically, scientists & laypeople alike believed that personality was fixed after early life, and this remains a popular opinion despite decades of research indicating otherwise Why does this matter? Because personality – and beliefs about its changes – matter! (2/8)

- New preprint 🤗 Life events are a commonly studied environmental factor believed to influence normal-range personality development (such as the Big Five), but how well does this extend to features of personality pathology? (1/7) t.co/PyPkEUATP3
- I *love* the Whova generated graphics so it seemed fitting to use one If you’re at #DGPs2024 and want to hear 5 great talks about integrating idiographics & nomothetics in psychology, please come check out our symposium led by @niclaskuper.bsky.social on Wednesday at 11:30!
- Excited to see this out now in JPSP :-) It’s pretty standard to acknowledge individual differences in mean levels of traits (via intercepts) and changes in traits (often via linear slopes), but what about model forms of personality trajectories? doi.org/10.1037/pspp...
- If you’ll be at #ECP21 in Berlin and have 90 minutes to spare on Thursday, come check out our symposium on personality interventions with some *really* cool talks!

- Very happy to see this out now in JPSP! We used 5 datasets (N = 128K) to do a deep dive into within-person variability for long-term personality development, a metric common in short-term dynamics work but (sadly!) pretty disregarded longitudinally (1/8) psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...
