Better Understanding of Psychological Situations: Opportunities and Challenges for Psychological Assessment

Rauthmann et al. offer a multitude of arguments and ideas that make great theoretical contributions.

We want to advocate the use of hypothetical situations in applied contexts to avoid low acceptance. Moreover, we point out the importance of the number of situations assessed based on the implications of the Reality Principle. Copyright (C) 2015 European Association of Personality Psychology.
