My work primarily focuses on personality (traits, assessment, change) and self-evaluations. My current projects investigate factors (e.g., self-esteem) associated with volitional personality change, the genetic underpinnings of personality perception, self- versus other-reporting, construct overlap among self-evaluations, the stability of self-esteem and other well-being related outcomes, and how conceptualization and measurement of personality, personality change, and self-evaluations matter.
I investigate these issues employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis, survey data (self-, other-, panel, longitudinal), genetic data, and experiments. In the future, I plan to incorporate a cross-cultural lens into my work, investigating important cultural differences (and similarities) in personality change and self-evaluation.
