🚨 New Research Alert 🚨
Are you and your partner two peas in a pod, or do opposites attract? Together with @R_Gabriel_Olaru and Thomas Leopold, I explored why long-term couples are similar in personality. Check out our preprint (to appear in JPSP) here: osf.io/2s5ua/

Life satisfaction is mostly about personality, for most people, most of the time. Even more so, than we thought.

The #SIOP2024 (I/O psych) and #WCP2024 audience may be interested in the interactive web app showing personality trait differences among 263 jobs.
(Psychologists are among the most open occupations, btw. And actors are the most neurotic, it turns out.)
