“…Additionally, newer methods such as life logging (e.g. Brown, Blake, & Sherman, 2017) or the electronically activated recorder (Mehl, Pennebaker, Crow, Dabbs, & Price, 2001; Sun & Vazire, 2019) further extend the psychologists’ toolbox and provide us with a very powerful repertoire to examine personality dynamics. Although research on experience sampling methods and psychometric evaluation of data obtained in experience sampling has come a long way, many challenges remain.…”

Assessing Personality States: What to Consider when Constructing Personality State Measures

2020

Repeated assessments of personality states in daily diary or experience sampling studies have become a more and more common tool in the psychologist's toolbox. However, and contrary to the widely available literature on personality traits, no best practices for the development of personality state measures exist, and personality state measures have been developed in many different ways. To address this, we first define what a personality state is and discuss important components. On the basis of this, we define what a personality state measure is and suggest a general guideline for the development of such measures. Following the ABC of test construction can then guide the strategy for obtaining validity and reliability evidence: (A) What is the construct being measured? (B) What is the intended purpose of the measure? And (C) What is the targeted population of persons and situations? We then conclude with an example by developing an initial item pool for the assessment of conscientiousness personality states.

“…Additionally, newer methods such as life logging (e.g., Brown, Blake, & Sherman, 2017) (Ziegler, 2014). We assume that our first overview of current practices, options, and methods will be somewhat outdated in a few years, but we look forward to the broad application of methods that only very few are currently thinking (or, via Twitter, heavily arguing) about.…”

“…The current study further illustrates how the EAR can provide a window into everyday social experiences. Recently, other research has shown how digital devices (e.g., smartphones, cameras) can successfully be used to collect data to examine psychological, behavioral, and health-related phenomena as they naturally occur in everyday life (e.g., Brown, Blake, & Sherman, 2017;Lathia, Sandstrom, Mascolo, & Rentfrow, 2017). Whereas past research often focused on between person comparisons, these new devices are particularly suited to disentangling the within-vs. between-person associations between social activity and well-being.…”

Daily conversations and well-being: A replication

The present study aimed to replicate and extend findings by Mehl, Vazire, Holleran and Clark (2010) that individuals with higher well-being tend to spend less time alone and more time interacting with others (e.g., greater conversation quantity), and engage in less small talk and more substantive conversations (e.g., greater conversation quality). To test the robustness of these effects in a larger and more diverse sample, we used Bayesian integrative data analysis to pool data on subjective life satisfaction and observed daily conversations from three heterogeneous adult samples, in addition to the original sample (N = 486). We found moderate associations between life satisfaction and amount of alone time, conversation time, and substantive conversations, but no reliable association with small talk. Personality did not substantially moderate these associations. The failure to replicate the original small talk effect is theoretically and practically important as it has garnered considerable scientific and lay interest.
