The development of the personality trait intellect at the transition from school to vocation

智力是一种重要的人格特质，尤其是在预测和解释智力表现方面，比如职业或学业上的成功。然而，我们对智力的发展知之甚少。这项研究的目标是调查智力在一个关键时期的变化：从学校到职业的过渡。计划中的研究将与职业咨询测试的提供者合作进行，从而有机会在两年的纵向设计中招募大量异质样本，第一次测量时间是在毕业之前。虽然以前的研究主要是根据五大人格特征来调查人格发展，但这项研究在一个层面上扩展了我们对人格特征发展的认识。此外，专注于一个方面允许指定和调查关于变化的发布者和调节者的特定假设，以及开发过程中的个体差异。重要的是，我们关注的是选择效应和社会化效应，涉及到许多不同的特征，包括教育和专业的主观和客观属性；对人格特质可塑性的态度；以及智力以外的人格特征，尤其是五大人格和智力。

Intellect is an important personality trait, especially with regards to the prediction and explanation of intellectual performance, such as occupational or academic success. However, much less is known about the development of intellect. The goal of the study outlined in this proposal is to investigate changes in intellect during a critical period: The transition from school to vocation. The planed study will be conducted in cooperation with the provider of a career counseling test, thus providing the opportunity for recruiting a large and heterogeneous sample in a longitudinal design across two years, with the first measuring time before graduation. While former studies have mostly investigated personality development according to the Big Five, the study outlined in this proposal extends our knowledge regarding the development of personality traits on a facet level. Additionally, focusing on one facet allows for specifying and investigating specific hypotheses regarding releasers and moderators of change as well as individual differences in the development across time. Importantly, we are focusing on both, selection and socialization effects with regards to a number of different characteristics, including subjective and objective attributes of the education and profession; attitudes regarding the malleability of personality traits; as well as personality traits beyond intellect, especially including the Big Five and intelligence.
