This project investigates change in personality and psychological well-being, and the relationship between such change and physical health, as assessed by self-reports, daily cortisol levels, and mortality. It focuses on 3 aims: 1) Model intraindividual change in personality, well-being, and physical health overtime, and examine predictors of change, using individual growth models and coupled-change growth models. 2) Model time to mortality using personality and well-being and their interactions with contextual factors. 3) Model daily variation in affect, memory, and cortisol as a function of daily stressors and global personality and wellbeing.
