Despite a long-standing hypothesis that personality traits are relatively impervious to
environmental pressures, the
may have altered the trajectory of personality across the United States, especially in younger
adults, according to a new study published this week in the open-access journal PLOS ONE.
In the new study, the researchers used longitudinal assessments of personality from 7,109
people enrolled in the online Understanding America Study. They compared five-factor model
personality traits—neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and
conscientiousness—between pre-pandemic measurements and assessments early or
later in the pandemic. A total of 18,623 assessments, or a mean of 2.62 per participant, were
analyzed. Participants were 41.2% male and ranged in age from 18 to 109.
