People care a great deal about studying personality development during adolescence. Neuroscientists like looking at the developing brain in relation to personality development (Montag et al., 2013), while educators are interested in improving the socio-emotional skills during adolescence (Duff et al., 2004). It’s important to understand how the structure of personality changes across adolescence before we base so much on personality alone. Much of the existing research on personality development gives us an indication of normative personality structure development; however, there is less understood about the evolution of personality traits and to what extent different components of each trait remain stable across time. In the present study, we use a large-scale dataset to study the stability (or change) of personality structure during adolescence. We take a network approach to quantify and visualize personality structure; this allows us to estimate the stability of structure across several metrics (e.g., centrality and edge weights). We also use community detection methods to empirically estimate factors.

Adolescence is a crucial time for friendship development - during this developmental stage friendships become more complex and supportive (Crosnoe, 2000). Although past research has noted many positive and negative impacts of friendships (Rose, 2002; Giletta, Hastings, Rudolph, Bauer, Nock, & Prinstein, 2017), little is known about how the day-to-day perception of friendship quality differs from a more global perception. Prior work has suggested that global reports of mood and experiences are not consistent with daily reports (Todd, Tennen, Carney, Armeli,, & Affleck, 2014; Newman, Schwarz, & Stone, 2021). Further, research has found that global reports tend to be less nuanced than daily reports (Newman et al., 2021), suggesting that day-to-day reports may be a more accurate predictor than global ones. The present study will measure discrepancies between daily reports of friendship quality and global reports of friendship quality and whether this discrepancy is associated with anxiety and depression.
