Purpose was not associated with changes in health over time.https://sarajweston.com/publication/willroth-personality-2023/Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/willroth-personality-2023/Across 15 samples and nearly 359,000 people, we found small but consistent associations between Big Five traits and visiting the dentist, seeing a general practitioner and being hospitalized. The pattern differed by type of care.https://sarajweston.com/publication/graham-coordinated-2022/Sat, 01 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/graham-coordinated-2022/A guide to coordinated data analysis, in which the same preregistered models are run in many separate datasets and then summarized, written for researchers in lifespan development and aging.https://sarajweston.com/publication/mroczek-data-2022/Sat, 01 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/mroczek-data-2022/Public longitudinal datasets are a gift to aging research, but heavy reuse of a few of them can make the literature look more independent and more certain than it is. We describe three problems and a set of solutions.https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-coordinated-2020/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:41:45 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-coordinated-2020/A book chapter on coordinated analysis: running the same model in many independent datasets and combining the results. We give five recommendations and describe how we followed, and sometimes did not follow, them in a large healthy neuroticism project.https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-2020-healthy/Fri, 08 Aug 2025 04:41:45 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/weston-2020-healthy/We tested whether conscientiousness changes the link between neuroticism and hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease across 15 longitudinal studies. We found no evidence that it does, either at one time point or in new diagnoses over time.https://sarajweston.com/publication/graham-is-2020/Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/graham-is-2020/Across 15 longitudinal studies, we tested whether neuroticism combined with conscientiousness (“healthy neuroticism”) is associated with smoking, drinking, and physical activity.https://sarajweston.com/publication/turiano-is-2020/Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/turiano-is-2020/We asked whether neuroticism is only linked to earlier death when conscientiousness is low, using the same preregistered analysis in 12 longitudinal studies. We found no sign of that interaction in any study or in the pooled estimate.https://sarajweston.com/publication/graham-trajectories-2020/Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000https://sarajweston.com/publication/graham-trajectories-2020/We fit the same growth models to 16 longitudinal samples of mostly midlife and older adults and combined the results. Extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness declined slightly on average, and neuroticism showed a U-shaped pattern.
