What Are Personality Psychologists Especially Suited to Add to the Study of Situations?

摘要

We concur wholeheartedly that research on situations is needed so that personality psychologists can explicate person-situation interactions. Three principles and five recommendations of Rauthmann et al. for situation research provide a sound basis. Given the tremendous existing work on situations, we propose that personality psychologists should focus where they can provide the most value. Two such routes would be employing real-life, multi-method, multi-situation, multi-time and multi-group designs, and studying situation impacts on trait enactments.
