Biography
Giulio Costantini is Associate Professor of Psychometrics at the University of Milano-Bicocca. His research integrates personality psychology, psychometrics, and quantitative methods to study the motivational underpinnings of traits as well as how traits are structured, perceived, and translated into behavior. His recent work has focused especially on honesty, including a project supported by a grant from Wake Forest University and the John Templeton Foundation (#61842) and a Virtual Special Issue currently in press in the European Journal of Personality. Together with his PhD student, Gabriele Limonta, he is developing the Psychogeometric Approach, a novel framework for studying how individual differences shape perceived interpersonal similarity. His broader expertise includes network psychometrics, intensive longitudinal methods, behavioral assessment, intervention research, and open science. He is President-Elect of the European Association of Personality Psychology and President of the international MSc program in Applied Experimental Psychological Sciences at the University of Milano-Bicocca.
Research
Giulio Costantini completed his PhD at the Psychology Department of the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2015, with a thesis entitled “Network Analysis: A New Perspective on Personality Psychology”, supervised by prof. Marco Perugini. He is currently a post-doctoral research fellow at the same department. His main research interests span the fields of personality psychology, psychological methods, and network analysis. His research has been focused mainly on developing network analysis as a statistical and theoretical tool to model personality. Additionally, he focused on applications of the network methodology to understand the structure and processes of a specific personality trait, namely conscientiousness. He is also interested in the psychometric measurement of personality, with a keen eye on implicit measures. Other research interests include the relationships between personality, behavior, and psychological situations; the psychometric measurement of creative problem-solving skills; statistical power and scientific reproducibility.
