Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Social psychology
  • Developmental psychology
  • Personality psychology

His primary scientific interests are in Personality, Developmental psychology, Big Five personality traits, Social psychology and Twin study. The concepts of his Personality study are interwoven with issues in Dizygotic twin and Emotionality. His study in Developmental psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stereotype, Personality development and Openness to experience.

In the subject of general Big Five personality traits, his work in Conscientiousness is often linked to Intelligence quotient, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Social psychology research incorporates elements of Association and Social perception. As part of his studies on Twin study, Rainer Riemann frequently links adjacent subjects like Revised NEO Personality Inventory.

His most cited work include:

  • Heritability of Facet-Level Traits in a Cross-Cultural Twin Sample: Support for a Hierarchical Model of Personality (409 citations)
  • Thin slices of behavior as cues of personality and intelligence. (361 citations)
  • Genetic and environmental influences on personality: A study of twins reared together using the self- and peer-report NEO-FFI scales. (357 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Rainer Riemann mainly focuses on Developmental psychology, Personality, Social psychology, Twin study and Big Five personality traits. His Developmental psychology research incorporates themes from Temperament, Dizygotic twin and Conscientiousness. His Conscientiousness study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hierarchical structure of the Big Five, Facet and Affect.

The Personality Assessment Inventory, Personality development and Agreeableness research Rainer Riemann does as part of his general Personality study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Observational study, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His work on Twin Studies as Topic as part of general Twin study study is frequently connected to Structural equation modeling, Longitudinal study and Demography, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His work on Revised NEO Personality Inventory and Extraversion and introversion as part of general Big Five personality traits study is frequently linked to Cross-cultural and Fraternal twin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (53.72%)
  • Personality (45.45%)
  • Social psychology (42.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Developmental psychology (53.72%)
  • German (11.57%)
  • Twin study (30.58%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Rainer Riemann focuses on Developmental psychology, German, Twin study, Behavioural genetics and Personality. His work on Early adulthood and Young adult as part of general Developmental psychology study is frequently linked to Trait, Gene-environment correlation and Differential, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Twin study research is included under the broader classification of Heritability.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Genetic variation and Socialization in addition to Behavioural genetics. His Revised NEO Personality Inventory and Big Five personality traits study in the realm of Personality connects with subjects such as Large sample and Young age. His Big Five personality traits study results in a more complete grasp of Social psychology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Personality traits below facets: The consensual validity, longitudinal stability, heritability, and utility of personality nuances. (122 citations)
  • A Nuclear Twin Family Study of Self‐Esteem (13 citations)
  • The Healthy Personality from a Basic Trait Perspective (11 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Social psychology
  • Developmental psychology
  • Personality psychology

Rainer Riemann mainly investigates Social psychology, Personality, Developmental psychology, Twin study and Behavioural genetics. The Big Five personality traits research Rainer Riemann does as part of his general Social psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as German, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His work in the fields of Revised NEO Personality Inventory overlaps with other areas such as PsycINFO.

His Personality study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Openness to experience. His studies deal with areas such as Neuroticism, Trait theory and Clinical psychology as well as Openness to experience. In his research, Rainer Riemann performs multidisciplinary study on Developmental psychology and Trait.
