The International Situations Project
Collaboration with universities from 19 countries
Exploratory study investigating the similarity of students’
experiences of situations “What were you doing yesterday at 7:00 pm?”
Materials Custom-built website

Demographic information
Open-ended response
Riverside Situational Q-sort (RSQ) RSQ: 89 items
Ex: “Situation is playful” Ex: “A job needs to be done”
Riverside Behavioral Q-sort (RBQ) RBQ: 68 items
Ex: “Smiles frequently” Ex: “Expresses criticism”
Evaluating perceptions of situations and behavior using the RSQ and RBQ

Conclusion College students are experiencing similar situations across the US
College students are behaving similarly in those situations across the US
Situations and behaviors are more similar within states than across states
Situations are strongly associated with behaviors: DIAMONDS situations ICM behaviors
Conclusion Crowd-sourcing methodology is a successful way to give
opportunities to undergraduate students the opportunity to
participate in research
Unique collaboration experience with Psi Chi and Psi Beta chapters
Collaborations prove to be fruitful for the advancement of research
Future Directions
A call for collaborators! Extension of the International Personality Project
