Laura King, was appointed by the executive committee of Association for Research in Personality, as the editor of the Journal of Research in Personality, the flagship journal of the association. JRP is a highly competitive journal that publishes groundbreaking work in the field of individual differences. Among the new associate editors on Laura's team is none other than Ken Sheldon, another accomplished personality psychologist here at MU. Laura takes over the journal from its previous editor, Lynne Cooper, also a professor in our department.
