Personality and psychopathology are composed of dynamic and interactive processes among diverse psychological systems, manifesting over time and in response to an individual’s natural environment. Ambulatory assessment techniques promise to revolutionize assessment practices by allowing access to the dynamic data necessary to study these processes directly. Assessing manifestations of personality and psychopathology naturalistically in an individual’s own ecology allows for dynamic modeling of key behavioral processes. However, advances in dynamic data collection have highlighted the challenges of both fully understanding an individual (via idiographic models) and how s/he compares to others (as seen in nomothetic models). Methods are needed that can simultaneously model idiographic (i.e., person-specific) processes and nomothetic (i.e., general) structure from intensive longitudinal personality assessments. Here we present a method, Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation (GIMME) for simultaneously studying general, shared (i.e., in subgroups), and person-specific processes in intensive longitudinal behavioral data. We first provide introduction to the GIMME method, followed by a demonstration of its use in a sample of individuals diagnosed with personality disorder who completed daily diaries over 100 consecutive days.

Narcissism has significant interpersonal costs, yet little research has examined behavioral and affective patterns characteristic of narcissism in naturalistic settings. Here we studied the effect of narcissistic features on the dynamic processes of interpersonal behavior and affect in daily life. We used interpersonal theory to generate transactional models of social interaction (i.e., linkages among perceptions of others' behavior, affect, and one's own behavior) predicted to be characteristic of narcissism. Psychiatric outpatients (N=102) completed clinical interviews and a 21-day ecological momentary assessment protocol using smartphones. After social interactions (N=5,781), participants reported on perceptions of their interaction partner's behavior (scored along the dimensions of dominant-submissive and affiliative-quarrelsome), their own affect, and their own behavior. Multilevel structural equation modeling was used to examine dynamic links among behavior and affect across interactions, and the role of narcissism in moderating these links. Results showed that perceptions of others' dominance did not predict dominant behavior, but did predict quarrelsome behavior, and this link was potentiated by narcissism. Further, the link between others' dominance and one's own quarrelsome behavior was mediated by negative affect. Moderated mediation was also found: Narcissism amplified the link between ratings of others' dominance and one's own quarrelsomeness and negative affect. Narcissism did not moderate the link between other dominance and own dominance, nor the link between other affiliation and own affiliation. These results suggest that narcissism is associated with specific interpersonal and affective processes, such that sensitivity to others' dominance triggers antagonistic behavior in daily life.Keywords: Narcissism, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Dynamic Processes, Ambulatory Assessment, Event Contingent Recording, Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling. NARCISSISM IN SOCIAL INTERACTIONS 3 General Scientific SummaryPatients higher in narcissistic personality disorder features were more likely to respond with quarrelsomeness when they perceived their interaction partner as behaving more dominantly in daily life. The link between perceptions of dominance and quarrelsomeness was mediated by negative affect. NARCISSISM IN SOCIAL INTERACTIONS 4 The Effect of Pathological Narcissism on Interpersonal and Affective Processes in Social InteractionsNarcissism is associated with significant interpersonal problems (Gurtman, 1992;Ogrodniczuk, Piper, Joyce, Steinberg, & Duggal, 2009; Pincus et al., 2009) and negative impacts on others (Campbell, Bush, Brunell, & Shelton, 2005;Campbell, Foster, & Finkel, 2002). In addition, the social processes driving narcissism's negative impacts exert cumulative effects, even spoiling early advantages (Miller, Campbell, & Pilkonis, 2007; Lavner et al., 2016;Oltmanns & Turkheimer, 2009;Paulhus, 1998). However, little systematic research has addressed the manner in which ...

“…Here, we focus on the two that have been examined most often to describe the average stability and trajectory of personality over the life span (e.g., Wright et al, 2015). Differential stability reflects the degree to which the relative ordering of individuals maintains over time (Anusic & Schimmack, 2016), often expressed as test-retest correlation (r) across two assessment waves.…”

“…Discrete life events (Bleidorn et al, in press), slow transitions (Roberts et al, 2017), or recurrent daily experiences (Wright, Hopwood, & Simms, 2015) may trigger change in personality. A crucial question concerns the timing with which changes unfold in response to such experiences.…”

In this paper we review recent findings related to stability and change in personality and personality disorder. Estimates of stability vary depending on a number of methodological and substantive factors.These factors include the type of stability being examined, the type of construct being assessed, the method being used to assess personality, how participants are sampled, and developmental trends in personality stability and change. We describe current evidence about personality stability with respect to each of these factors. We conclude that current gaps in the literature can be filled by more carefully attending to factors that impact estimates of stability and change, and provide recommendations about how future research can fill those gaps.
