Abstract
This paper introduces Dynamic Intellectual Investment Trait and State Theory, which (a) centers on dynamic within-person reciprocal relationships between cognitive performance states and intellectual investment personality states, (b) integrates within-person dynamics and developmental trajectories in cognitive abilities and intellectual investment traits, and (c) is embedded in a continuous-time framework. Aligning personality theories with statistical models, we discuss the most appropriate model for testing Dynamic Intellectual Investment Trait and State Theory: a continuous-time growth curve model that combines dynamics and trends. We apply the continuous-time growth curve model in an empirical illustration involving 204 German adults who were assessed roughly 100 times on cognitive abilities (working memory) and intellectual investment personality (interest).
