Induced nostalgia increases optimism (via social-connectedness and self-esteem) among individuals high, but not low, in trait nostalgia (2016, background): “Instead, the predictability of a trait increases in reference to aggregation of multiple occasions (Fleeson, 2004), especially ones preceded by cues likely to activate it.”
Job Satisfaction and Job Affect (2012, background): “Within-individual changes in the Big Five personality traits have been considered from intervals ranging from diurnal (Fleeson, 2004) to life-course (Roberts et al., 2006); there is no reason to believe that variation in self-concept should not be similarly considered.”
Insomnia, Emotions, and Job Satisfaction: A Multilevel Study (2006, background): “Although Hulin and Judge noted that past research has tended to consider job satisfaction “as a stable individual difference variable” (2003: 260), they argued that within- and betweenvariation can coexist as sources of substantive variance (see Fleeson, 2004, for a similar”
Unearthing the “Green” Personality (2016, background): “This novel behavioral measure targets repeated actions and each data point represents an average across many individual decisions, features which help to reveal trait effects (Fleeson, 2004).”
Hope as a source of resilience in later adulthood (2006, background): “An important focus of research on day-to-day covariation between psychological states and daily mood is the extent to which within-person relationships vary as a function of trait differences (Fleeson, 2004).”
Predictors of Identity Management (2017, background): “Nevertheless, Fleeson (2004) argued that situational characteristics should be the strongest predictors of situation-based behavior.”
Post–traumatic Growth as Positive Personality Change: Evidence, Controversies and Future Directions (2014, background): “These central points seem to show remarkable consistency from week to week, with correlations around .9 (Fleeson, 2004) One important implication of this model is the exciting proposition that by shifting people’s personality states, over time, interventions may be able to change people’s…”
Personality Change: Implications for Organizational Behavior (2018, background): “Thus, one resolution to the person-situation debate is to acknowledge that a person’s momentary behaviors varywidely because of situational pressures, but that a person’s average scores on personality traits over longer stretches of time are “very stable” (Fleeson, 2004: 86).”
Virtuous states and virtuous traits: How the empirical evidence regarding the existence of broad traits saves virtue ethics from the situationist critique (2014, background): “The core of this section is adapted from Fleeson (2004).”
Do people's self-views matter? Self-concept and self-esteem in everyday life. (2007, background): “Specificity matching and related principles have received ample support in studies of both attitudes (e.g., Ajzen & Fishbein, 2005) and traits (e.g., Epstein , 1979; Fleeson, 2004).”
WORK–FAMILY CONFLICT AND EMOTIONS: EFFECTS AT WORK AND AT HOME (2006, background): “A close correlate of negative affectivity—Neuroticism (see Watson, 2000)—also has been associated with increased levels of work–family conflict (Grzywacz & Marks, 2000; Wayne, Musisca, & Fleeson, 2004).”
