We had a wonderful week at #ECP22! Our team had the chance to share research on personality change, helping behaviour, self-knowledge, LLM-based assessment, and political attitudes. Big thanks to the organizers and all the colleagues who made the conference so enjoyable. Looking forward to Utrecht!😊
