q2 i? Across interventions where participants chose traits and completed escalating behavioural challenges, more frequent trait-relevant behaviour predicted greater trait change over a 15-week study. → Hayley K. Jach 2023

Evidence¶

Hayley K. Jach 2023¶

Hayley K. Jach, Lisa Bardach, Kou Murayama. (2023). How Personality Matters for Education Research. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-023-09807-4

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports, citing Hudson (2022) and Hudson et al. (2019), interventions in which participants selected traits and completed escalating challenges; "people who took part in more challenges... demonstrated greater trait change over the course of the 15-week study".

"These studies found that in general, people who took part in more challenges (i.e. expressed trait-relevant behaviour more frequently) demonstrated greater trait change over the course of the 15-week study"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Personality Traits — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• Behavior activation interventions show a dose-response pattern — completing more conscientiousness challenges produced larger increases — but one behavior activation trial found no significant change — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Personality changes achieved through digital VPC interventions persist, remaining sustained or amplified at three-month and one-year follow-ups — related
