... Additionally, DNAm measures computed in both blood and saliva tissues from the same persons show high cross-tissue rank-order stability (Raffington et al., 2021). More research is needed to assess the applicability of blood-based DNAm measures particularly to buccal tissue, for which cross-tissue rank-order stability appears to be lower than saliva (Raffington et al., 2023). ...

... Technology use also plays a role in personality development in ageing. 6 The more frequent exposure and use of technology tends to decline anxiety and its novelty; specifically with the use of the internet it has been shown that it helps maintain cognitive function, 7 which in turn affects personality. ...

... For personality traits and personality disorders, their stability is a defining property because they are supposed to be enduring (American Psychiatric Association, 2013;Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). Nonetheless, personality functioning and personality traits can change over time-in terms of rank-order changes (i.e., changes in participants' relative positions within a sample over time) and mean-level changes (i.e., direction and extent of absolute changes averaged across all participants; e.g., Bleidorn et al., 2022;Johansen et al., 2016). ...

... Despite extensive work and longstanding interest in the social and developmental plasticity of personality (e.g. Caspi and Roberts, 2001;Stamps and Groothuis, 2010;Bergmüller and Taborsky, 2010;Cabrera et al., 2021;Bleidorn et al., 2022), as well as the effects of parenting and rearing environments on personality (e.g. Reddon, 2011;Taylor et al., 2012;Vukasović and Bratko, 2015), much remains to be learned about how IGEs from outside of the natal home or nest (e.g. ...

... • Age group: Since both religiosity and SOC increase with advancing age [20][21][22], it can be assumed that the R/S-SOC connection is stronger in older samples. ...

... Previous studies have shown that when different items are used to measure a particular Big Five personality trait, these different items can show heterogenous mean-level patterns with age (e.g., Lucas & Donnellan, 2009;Mõttus & Rozgonjuk, 2021), although personality development is typically examined only for mean scores (e.g., Graham et al., 2020). Similarly, when items that cover similar aspects were bundled into facets, distinct developmental trends were found for the facets of a trait (e.g., Jackson et al., 2009;Roberts et al., 2006;Schwaba et al., 2022;Soto et al., 2011;Terracciano et al., 2005). Therefore, developmental trends in the mean levels of the Big Five may depend on which personality items were selected. ...

... datasets. However, more specific personality facets or nuances (Stewart et al., 2022) may be more strongly associated with healthcare use and may provide more information about why traits are associated with healthcare use (e.g., Atherton et al., 2021). Future research should examine associations between personality traits, facets, and nuances, and more specific types of healthcare use. ...

... Public policy makers should support efforts to increase personal environmental concerns in society, which could subsequently trigger individual actions, which could be powerful tools in the fight against environmental pollution (Hopwood et al., 2021). We also recommend that policy makers support firms' training and educational activities, such as through financial support of (foreign) exchanges. ...

... However, these elements could become biohazards at high concentrations. For example, Pb and methylmercury (MeHg), the organic form of Hg, are regarded as neurotoxic even at low exposure concentrations, whereas Cd, Ni and Cr are carcinogenic and/or allergenic (Manić et al., 2022;Schwaba et al., 2021;Zulaikhah et al., 2020). Of these metals, Hg, Pb, and Cd are considered critical from environmental and human health perspectives (Marnane, 2018;Steffen et al., 2005;World Health Organisation, 2017). ...

... A fragmented literature further explores the relevance of a variety of possible predictors of climate-friendly behavior at the individual level, such as personality traits (Brick & Lewis, 2016;Hopwood et al., 2021), psycho-social, cognitive, and sociodemographic factors (Thaller et al., 2020). For organizational contexts, organizational routines and habitual processes are proposed as potentially relevant determinants of sustainable employee behavior (Lülfs & Hahn, 2014;Norton et al., 2015;Ones & Dilchert, 2012;Wade & Griffiths, 2021). ...
