Report I spent two awesome months at the University of Zurich. Together with my hosts Prof. Christopher Hopwood and Prof. Wiebke Bleidorn, I worked on two research projects. First, we conducted a study on individual differences in personality trait changes after negative life events. Second, we started writing a paper on the longitudinal association of personality traits and the level of personality functioning. While we were able to finish the first project during my stay, we will continue working on the second project now after my return, and we also planned future collaborations. In summary, the research stay was pretty nice experience (e.g., just to see how other labs are organized was helpful).
