==Short Definition== | |||
Wisdom develops through the challenges one faces as part of the human experience. | |||
==Summary Points== | |||
#"Wisdom and the Life Story" looks at how life events and challenges aid in the development of wisdom. | |||
#The current main goal is to develop categories for content-coding of the interview transcripts in order to test predictions concerning the MORE wisdom model. | |||
#Surprisingly, hardly any empirical studies have investigated how wisdom develops through the challenges one faces as part of the human experience. The current project is the first psychological study of the development of wisdom in the context of individual lives. | |||
#The theoretical foundation of the study is the MORE Wisdom model | |||
#In short, the model proposes that four personal resources interact with challenging life experience to foster the emergence of wisdom: a sense of Mastery, Openness to experience, a Reflective attitude, and Emotion regulation skills. | |||
#Wise participants are expected to show higher levels of the four MORE resources than control participants in how they describe life challenges, how they have dealt with them, and how they have integrated them in their life stories. | |||

"Wisdom and the Life Story" looks at how life events and challenges aid in the development of wisdom. Though the data collection for the project is still underway, it currently has two main findings: 1) Participant scores in multiple measures of wisdom are virtually uncorrelated, so project members are working on a heuristic for deciding which nominees to consider wise; and 2) Individuals nominated on account of being wise tend to have less stereotypical, more reflection-based views of the events of their lives. The current main goal is to develop categories for content-coding of the interview transcripts in order to test predictions concerning the MORE wisdom model. This model predicts wise participants will possess a heightened sense of Mastery, Openness to experience, a Reflective attitude, and Emotion regulation skills. | "Wisdom and the Life Story" looks at how life events and challenges aid in the development of wisdom.
