Introduction
My interests: structure of personality (relationships between temperament and personality traits, and beliefs) and a role of personality in a context of developmental periods, environment factors, or special activity in predicting various indices of well-being: subjective (life and jobsatisfaction, happiness), objective (e.g. citizenship activity, work-family balance, psychological well-being) and mixed (flourishing, health condition). I am also interested in assessment measures and problems.
I participated in international projects on youth citizenship (ESF, CiCeA - Krzywosz-Rynkiewcz, Zalewska, & Kennedy, 2018; Citizenship Teaching and Learning, 2017, 2). Now I am a coordinator of the project "Integrated approach to personality, subjective well-being and undertaking positive activity".

Projects
Project (1)
Research project is linked to the integrated models of personality, in which at least two levels of personality constructs are considered: dispositional traits and characteristic adaptations (values, attitudes and personal beliefs about self or about world and others), that are
central constructs of personality in socio-cognitive psychology.
The aim of the project is to examine:
1) what are relations between personality constructs on different levels, traits and characteristic adaptations?
2) what are mechanisms of the influence of different levels of personality on subjective well-being and undertaking positive
activity (beneficial for person or/and society - e.g. sports or entrepreneur activity).
3) whether experience linked with undertaking positive activity or/and with specific external conditions can „harden” or „add wings” and will change a level of: subjective well-being, characteristic adaptations or even traits.
