“…Data from the What’s NEXT? Study were already used by Fassbender et al (2021), Fassbender and Luhmann (2021), Kritzler et al (2021), and Luhmann et al (2020), but these publications did not investigate stability or change of perceived event characteristics. Data collection was approved by the local ethics committee of Ruhr University Bochum (Protocol 422: “Examining characteristics of adverse events as predictors of character growth”).…”

“…However, if participants happened to experience the same event twice (e.g., “failed an exam” may occur twice within a year of assessment), we only included the first description of this event. Data from Samples 1 to 4 have already been used for other research projects (Fassbender et al, 2021; Fassbender & Luhmann, 2021; Haehner, Kritzler et al, 2021; Luhmann et al, 2021) but have not yet been used to compare different events or types of raters.…”

How are common major life events perceived? Exploring differences between and variability of different typical event profiles and raters

Research on major life events and personality change often focuses on the occurrence of specific life events such as childbirth, unemployment, or divorce. However, this typical approach has three important limitations: (1) Life events are typically measured categorically, (2) it is often assumed that people experience and change from the same event in the same way, and (3) external ratings of life events have unknown levels of validity. To address these limitations, we examined how common life events are typically perceived, how much perceptions of life events vary within events, and how well external ratings of events correspond to subjective ratings from people who experienced the events. We analyzed ratings of nine psychologically relevant characteristics of 10 common major life events from three different types of raters ( N = 2,210). Each life event had a distinct subjectively rated profile that corresponded well to external ratings. Collectively, this study demonstrates that life events can be meaningfully described and differentiated with event characteristics. However, people’s individual perceptions of life events varied considerably even within events. Therefore, research on major life events and their associations with personality change should incorporate individual perceptions of the events to advance the understanding of these associations.

“…As parallel analysis suggests three factors, we will conduct a REFA with three latent factors. A three-factor solution was also considered by Fassbender and Luhmann (2021) in their supplemental material. They also discuss other factor solutions and found a four-factor model or rather a model with a general factor and three fits best.…”

Regularized Exploratory Factor Analysis as an Alternative to Factor Rotation

Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is widely used in psychological (assessment) research. Due to its exploratory nature, several researcher degrees of freedom exist on how to conduct the analysis. While simulation studies can provide meaningful insights into which factor retention methods to use to determine the number of latent factors, or which estimation methods recover parameter values most precisely given certain data characteristics, the issue of rotational indeterminacy makes it very difficult to decide which rotation method to apply. An alternative to the two-stage approach of extracting factors and subsequently rotating them to foster interpretability is the so-called regularized EFA. In this paper, we contrast both approaches and demonstrate how regularized EFA can be applied. In doing so, we want to encourage researchers to try out the approach themselves and help them find a way of EFA that appears less arbitrary compared to classical factor rotation.
