The Study of Personality Architecture and Dynamics (SPeADy) is a German research project that aims to investigate the sources of interindividual differences in intraindividual personality development. The main focus lies in the dynamic interplay between more stable core characteristics and more environmentally malleable surface characteristics, as well as between personality and life experiences over time. SPeADy includes a twin family study encompassing data from 1962 individuals (age: 14-94) of 682 families, including 570 complete twin pairs (plus 1 triplet set), 327 parents, 236 spouses and 145 children of twins. Data collection started in 2016 and data from the first wave are currently obtainable as open source. Available data comprise a broad range of personality variables, such as personality trait constructs, motives, interests, values, moral foundations, religiosity and self-related concepts. For the currently ongoing second wave of data collection, we added retrospective reports on major life events. Special features of this genetically informative study are the extended twin family data and its longitudinal design. Three assessment waves in 2 years' intervals are planned until 2022. In this article, we briefly describe the design and contents of the SPeADy twin family study as well as some recent findings, future plans and open science issues.
人格结构与动态研究（SPeADy）是一个德国研究项目，旨在探究个体内部人格发展中个体间差异的来源。主要关注点在于更稳定的核心特征与更易受环境影响的表面特征之间的动态相互作用，以及人格与长期生活经历之间的动态相互作用。SPeADy包括一项双胞胎家庭研究，涵盖来自682个家庭的1962名个体（年龄：14 - 94岁）的数据，其中包括570对完整双胞胎（外加一组三胞胎）、327名父母、236名配偶以及145名双胞胎的子女。数据收集始于2016年，第一波数据目前可作为开源数据获取。现有数据包括广泛的人格变量，如人格特质结构、动机、兴趣、价值观、道德基础、宗教信仰和自我相关概念。在当前正在进行的第二波数据收集中，我们增加了关于重大生活事件的回顾性报告。这项具有遗传信息的研究的特点是扩展的双胞胎家庭数据及其纵向设计。计划到2022年每隔两年进行三次评估。在本文中，我们简要描述SPeADy双胞胎家庭研究的设计和内容，以及一些近期的研究结果、未来计划和开放科学问题。
