People experience various life events across their lifespans, such as marriage, the birth of a child, and divorce. Lay beliefs about how such life events change personality are common.

The recognition that the same type of life event—marriage, childbirth, divorce—may be perceived differently by different people led researchers to develop new instruments to assess life events.

However, people differ in how they perceive the very same type of life event, and these differences can be measured according to nine characteristics, such as the predictability or emotional significance of a life event. These different perceptions may explain why previous research could not ob...
Even before research can provide this knowledge, we can use the findings for our own lives: We can acknowledge that different people perceive the very same type of life event in different ways. On the one hand, this helps us to understand why we do not perceive a presumably positive life event (e.g., marriage) positively and a presumably negative l...
