Replications
- No personality change following unemployment: A registered replication of Boyce, Wood, Daly, and Sedikides (2015), Gnambs & Stiglbauer (2019). Journal of Research in Personality. Outcome recorded: failed.
Latent change analyses indicated no effect of job loss on any Big Five trait. Moderating effects of unemployment duration or gender were not found. Even analyses accounting for potential selection effects led to comparable results. Thus, personality seemed invariant despite changes in employment status.
