Conducting Meta-Analyses in R with the metafor Package (2010, methodology): “The metafor package grew out of a function called mima() (Viechtbauer 2006), which was written by the author several years ago and which has since been successfully applied in several meta-analyses (e.g., Krasopoulos et al. 2008; Petrin et al. 2008; Roberts et al. 2006).”
Focus on opportunities as a mediator of the relationships between age, job complexity, and work performance (2010, positive): “For example, such models might include age-related cognitive abilities such as fluid and crystallized intelligence (Baltes et al., 1999), personality traits such as conscientiousness (Roberts et al., 2006), as well as motivational variables such as motivation to learn (Colquitt et al., 2000).”
Age, resistance to change, and job performance (2013, methodology): “In addition to the SOC model, neuropsychological research has proven that individuals tend to become more emotionally stable (Williams et al., 2006, Roberts et al., 2006), increase their emotional regulation capacities (Gross et al., 1997), and process positive emotional information more deeply…”
Psychometric Properties of the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) (2009, positive): “In this sample, the attenuated temporal stabilities were 0.59 for Emotionality ,0 .74 forSelfcontrol ,0 .71 forSociability ,0 .86 forWell-being, and 0.78 for global trait EI. Whilst a more ambitious study is required in order to model both rank-order and mean-level change in the trait ( Roberts, Wal”
Stability and change of personality across the life course: the impact of age and major life events on mean-level and rank-order stability of the Big Five. (2011, background): “…& Costa, 2005), an increase in Conscientiousness (Lucas & Donnellan, 2009; Lüdtke et al., in press; Neyer & Asendorpf, 2001; Neyer & Lehnart, 2007; Roberts et al., 2006; Soto et al., 2011) in some studies followed by a decrease in advanced old age (Terracciano et al., 2005), and stability or an…”
Personality trait stability and change (2021, background): “A large body of research provided converging evidence that personality traits under go substantial mean-level changes throughout the lifespan, particularly during young adulthood (Roberts et al., 2006).”
The Dark Side of Leadership: A Three-Level Investigation of the Cascading Effect of Abusive Supervision on Employee Creativity (2012, background): “Roberts, Walton, and Viechtbauer (2006) reported that age is negatively associated with neuroticism, or dispositional tendency to experience negative emotions.”
Curriculum-Based Measures of Beginning Writing: Technical Features of the Slope (2011, background): “Finally, because group-level findings could cancel out the unique characteristics of individual stability due to regression to the mean (e.g., Roberts et al., 2006), we examined the proportion of individual slopes that fell within the 95% CI of slopes generated from all 12 data points.”
Longitudinal Experience–Wide Association Studies—A Framework for Studying Personality Change (2020, background): “This normative pattern of personality maturation appears to generalize across cohorts, genders, and, to a certain degree also, samples from different cultures (Bleidorn et al., 2013; Roberts et al., 2006; Wortman, Lucas, & Donnellan, 2012).”
