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

Are you interested what we talked about at our symposium on the next big questions on #loneliness? The program and most presentations can now be found here: osf.io/s3fw6/files/.... Thank you to all presenters who agreed to share their talks and posters with the rest of the world!

I am very happy to share another first first-author publication with you. This paper is by Alicia Neumann (University of Duisburg-Essen) and looks at what adolescents belief's about what makes them happy.

A year ago, 20 German personality psychologists came together under the leadership of John Rauthmann to assess the status of the field (not only from a German perspective). An English-language version of this paper (in press at Psychologische Rundschau) is now available:

Comment: Rethinking behavior change interventions in policymaking

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour!
We argue that behavior change interventions often suffer from a one-sided success focus. But failures may reveal structural barriers people face.

New preprint: osf.io/8c6sz_v1
@mdkraemer.bsky.social and I, with our fantastic co-authors Cornelia Wrzus, Yannick Roos and @drichter77.bsky.social examined how social contact, desire, and affect dynamically interact across different modalities (in-person, digital) and time scales (hourly, daily).

As research continues to be attacked (destroyed) elsewhere, European countries are installing new programs to attract researchers from around the world. Here is one from Ireland (deadline in October):

"I just feel generally very, very alone and very lonely", says Tennis star Zverev after losing his first round match at Wimbledon. It's rare to see professional athletes (or any public figure) talking openly about #loneliness, but I am sure he's not the only one.

🪧New preprint out:

"Politicians underestimate support for climate action even more than the general public"

osf.io/preprints/os...

Pluralistic ignorance - citizens underestimating others' climate concerns - is well documented.

But what about policymakers in office?🏛️🤔

A short thread 🧵

New paper!

🌍 When and why do people—and policymakers—recognize the structural roots of unsustainable consumption and support systemic solutions to fight climate change?

Thrilled and grateful to explore structural influences and policy support in my new ERC Advanced Grant (SUSCON).

Another great day at the Loneliness Theme Week organized by @volkswagenstiftung.de and @maikeluhmann.bsky.social. Really to much to put in this post, a film on robots against loneliness, a panel discussion and of course Looking for the Next Big Questions

@maikeluhmann.bsky.social Judith Merkies and Herlind Megges in conversation during the talk about Loneliness as a Policy. The talk gave a lot of insight into loneliness policies in Germany and how they come about. #VolkswagenStiftung #Loneliness #Einsamkeit #LONELY-EU

For three days, loneliness researchers from all over Europe and the US gather in Hannover to discuss the next big questions on #loneliness. Follow @lonely-eu.bsky.social for updates.

The LONELY-EU project is now on BlueSky. Follow us if you are interested in our activities and results, and in #loneliness more generally!
