Symposium on Suffering and Character at Association for Research in Personality Conference
June 6th, 2025
I’ll be chairing a symposium on suffering and character at the Association for Research in Personality’s 9th Biannual Conference in Evanston this summer. It will feature work from Douglas Samuel on maladaptive conscientiousness, Aidan Campbell on effort and meaning, and Cristy Pestilos on meaning-making after adversity. I’ll be presenting ongoing work on the assessment of maladaptive conscientiousness with bi-factor prediction models.
