Department of Personality and Social Psychology

The Department of Personality and Social Psychology (DPSP) is a small, yet dynamic and both nationally and internationally recognised unit of the Institute of Psychology. The department is responsible for teaching and research in the general areas of personality, individual differences, social and cross-cultural psychology. High-level scientific research is a major focus in the department, which makes it possible to teach not only theoretical approaches, but also different complex research methods. The main areas of research in the department include personality traits and their development, genetics of personality, emotions, intelligence and cognitive abilities, self-esteem, academic motivation, values, health, and well-being. The members of the DPSP closely collaborate with people from other departments of the Institute of Psychology, most notably with Professor Jüri Allik (Department of Experimental Psychology). The DPSP is lead by Docent Toivo Aavik.

The members of the DPSP use a variety of different methods and data in their everyday research, ranging from momentary ecological assessments of various personality processes, health status, and physical activity to large scale comparative surveys such as the European Social Survey (ESS), Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), and the Russian Personality and Character Survey (RPCS), to name a few. As an initiative of the members of the DPSP, a web-based research portal (https://kaemus.psych.ut.ee/&lang=Eng) was designed and developed during the years of 2009-2013 which allows to collect and store not only questionnaires but also experimental data in a more efficient and cost-effective way. In addition to the members of the DPSP, the web-based research portal is now being actively used also by students and by people from the other departments of the Institute of Psychology.

Several members of the DPSP (Dr Liisi Kööts-Ausmees, Dr René Mõttus, Professor Anu Realo, Monika Schmidt), together with Professor Jüri Allik, have been actively involved in collaboration with the Estonian Genome Centre of the University of Tartu (EGCUT). This collaborative research project has resulted in a database of approximately of 3,600 individuals for whom not only extensive demographic, lifestyle, health status, and medical history is known but also full genotype information and personality data (both self- and observer-reports) are available. This valuable dataset has been employed by the members of the DPSP in numerous high-level international publications and it has also allowed participation in many large-scale international collaborative research projects on the genetics of personality traits and various other social indicators.

The strong research focus in the DPSP on various health-related issues, including social factors affecting health, is also well reflected in Dr Toivo Aavik’s and Dr Kenn Konstabel’s research. In close collaboration with medical specialists from the Tartu University Clinic, Dr Toivo Aavik has examined the role of values in health-related behaviour and has now relevant data from more than 2,000 individuals with various diseases or otherwise vulnerable members of society. Dr Kenn Konstabel, on the other hand, has worked on identifying and preventing dietary- and lifestyle-inducted health effects in children and infants.

The members of the department (Dr Liisi Kööts-Ausmees, Dr René Mõttus, Professor Anu Realo) have also experience and expertise in conducting experience sampling research (ESM) on emotions and personality processes. The DPSP possesses  22 palmtop computers that can be used to collect ESM data and the plan is to upgrade the computers in the near future.

The DPSP is well-known and recognised for its high-level cross-cultural research on personality, national character stereotypes, subjective well-being, and values. Professor Anu Realo is the coordinator of the World Values Survey in Estonia as well as a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the European Social Survey ERIC. All members of the DPSP have coordinated and/or actively participated in cross-cultural research projects and have got expertise in handling different types of large scale comparative data sets.

Over the years, the DPSP (especially Dr René Mõttus, Dr Helle Pullmann, and Dr Karin Täht) has maintained a strong research focus on cognitive abilities and educational achievement. Dr Helle Pullmann, together with Professor Jüri Allik, have examined the development of intelligence and personality traits among Estonian schoolchildren using a longitudinal, nationally representative sample of Estonian schoolchildren. Up to now, a subgroup of the participants has been followed up for three times since 2001, allowing the  longitudinal assessment of cognitive and learning processes over time. While the research focus of Dr René Mõttus’ studies has been mostly on issues related to cognitive ageing in ageing populations, Dr Karin Täht currently examines the effects of internet addiction and smartphone dependency on the mental health and academic achievement of Estonian schoolchildren.
