While self-control is assumed to contribute to well-being, our longitudinal models argue the opposite. Well-being predicts later self-control, but not the reverse. The findings highlight how cross-sectional designs and analyses are inadequate in supporting the direction of effects. (2/3)

I’m also excited to share this is relevant to my ongoing projects with @nibasaleem.bsky.social, @danlane.bsky.social and @kanupandey.bsky.social to highlight that applying a multidimensional lens to social identity offers key intergroup insights in communication that are often missed! #commsky
