“…Further supplementary results from the Study 1 intervention show enhanced positive (rather than negative) feelings toward close others in conflict situations, as evidenced by a 1-month follow-up survey on social conflicts experienced by participants after the intervention. These results dovetail with emerging conclusions that wise reasoning provides prospective benefits for interpersonal feelings (Peetz & Grossmann, 2020) and well-being (Santos & Grossmann, 2020). 2…”

“…Wisdom concerns a balanced, open approach to reasoning based on a desire to reconcile disparate viewpoints (Grossmann et al, 2020). It predicts a host of desirable outcomes, from harmonious interpersonal relationships (Brienza et al, 2018; Grossmann et al, 2017) to personal well-being (Santos & Grossmann, 2020). The current work showed that wisdom is not the purview of just a few fortunate individuals.…”

How can people wisely navigate social conflict? Two preregistered longitudinal experiments (Study 1: Canadian adults; Study 2: American and Canadian adults; total N = 555) tested whether encouraging distanced (i.e., third-person) self-reflection would help promote wisdom. Both experiments measured wise reasoning (i.e., intellectual humility, open-mindedness about how situations could unfold, consideration of and attempts to integrate diverse viewpoints) about challenging interpersonal events. In a month-long experiment (Study 1), participants used either a third- or first-person perspective in diary reflections on each day’s most significant experience. Compared with preintervention assessments, assessments made after the intervention revealed that participants reflecting in the third person showed a significant increase in wise reasoning about interpersonal challenges. These effects were statistically accounted for by shifts in diary-based reflections toward a broader self-focus. A week-long experiment (Study 2) replicated the third-person self-reflection effect on wise reasoning (vs. first-person and no-pronoun control conditions). These findings suggest an efficient and evidence-based method for fostering wise reasoning.

A slightly briefer version was used in the present study based on previous psychometric analyses showing that some low item-total correlations (e.g., Santos & Grossmann, 2021). …”

Although many people retrospectively report feeling more open-minded after experiencing highly stressful events, relevant longitudinal studies are scarce and have yielded contradictory findings. The present study used a 12-month longitudinal case-control design to test whether growth in openness (assessed every 4 months using multiple methods) occurs following major stressors, and whether changes relate to clinical symptoms of depression and/or posttraumatic stress. To do so, we compared participants (a) with a recent major stressor and with low symptoms ( n = 66), (b) without a recent major stressor and with low symptoms ( n = 76), and (c) with a recent major stressor and with significant symptoms ( n = 76). Overall, growth curve models showed that group membership was not associated with changes in openness over 12 months for most outcomes. Other variables (e.g., education) predicted changes in openness. This study provides robust evidence that openness to experience is mostly stable following major stressors.

“…To avoid the possible impacts of the biases in the demographic variables due to attrition on model estimates, the full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimator was used in this study. FIML is an efficient technique for addressing missing values (Allison, 2003 ; Lee & Shi, 2021 ), and has been used in a variety of longitudinal studies with similar rates and amount of missing data (e.g., Liekefett et al, 2021 ; Luijten et al, 2022 ; Santos & Grossmann, 2021 ). FIML utilizes all available information to estimate model parameters, including information from cases with incomplete data (Enders & Bandalos, 2001 ; Ferro, 2014 ).…”

Good Personality and Subjective Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study in Chinese Contexts

et al. 2022

Numerous studies have emphasized the importance of examining psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to identify the factors that affect the influence of COVID-19 on people’s mental health. The present research was a three-wave longitudinal study ( N = 1495) examining the concurrent and prospective relations of good personality with subjective well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that good personality positively predicted the subsequent well-being after controlling for the respective autoregressive effects and Big Five personality traits. Specifically, individuals who scored higher on measures of good personality tended to maintain higher well-being in the face of COVID-19. However, subjective well-being could positively predict subsequent personality only at the first time point. In addition, the prospective effect of good personality on subjective well-being was greater than the reverse effect. These findings support the opinion that as a positive value orientation in personality, good personality has a significant positive impact on the response to the pandemic situation.
