The Research Associate/Fellow will lead on a specific project within the larger grant to investigate whether there are individual differences in intellectual character that manifest in how people narrate their life stories and explain situations that require the exercise of their intellectual character, such as admitting errors in judgment or handling of interpersonal conflict.
