Her research areas are in individual differences, personality, academic performance, and study choices.  In this episode, we talk about how personality traits and individual differences influence educational, occupational and life choices. First, we discuss current personality inventories, particularly the Big Five, and their scientific basis and validity. Then, we get into issues related to the gender equality paradox, and how the differences between men and women in personality and educational and career choices exacerbate in countries that are more gender equal. We talk about findings in personality differences across academic majors, and also about the personality traits that are the most stable across lifespan, but also the ones that change a bit. -- Follow Dr. Vedel’s work: Faculty page: https://bit.ly/2JaboHR Researchgate page: https://bit.ly/2XycmCj Relevant articles: Big Five personality group differences across academic majors: A systematic review: https://bit.ly/2VJcTmQ Personality and Academic Performance: https://bit.ly/2FrqLKT Personality, academic majors and performance: Revealing complex patterns: https://bit.ly/2ZTyRTo The Big Five and tertiary academic performance: A systematic review and meta-analysis: https://bit.ly/2LgZHSn -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, AND HERBERT GINTIS!
