Nathan W. Hudson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. Previously, he received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2016. His research focuses on personality psychology, particularly how people's personalities change across time and how individuals function in romantic relationships. He leads the Δ Lab at SMU, which investigates individual differences in human personality. Education: 2016 – Ph.D., Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 2011 – M.A., Psychology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 2009 – B.A., Purdue University Nathan Hudson's primary research area is volitional personality change—people's desires and attempts to change their own personality traits. His groundbreaking research has shown that approximately 90% of people want to change aspects of their personality traits, and moreover, they may be able to find some degree of success in doing so. He also studies adult attachment styles and how people function in close relationships. Hudson's work suggests that attachment anxiety is linked to false memories, and that people's attachment styles can change over time. His research integrates both theoretical and applied perspectives, with implications for therapeutic interventions and personal development. Hudson's recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward understanding the mechanisms of personality change and developing effective interventions. His work spans across multiple domains of personality psychology, with a particular emphasis on the Big Five personality traits, attachment theory, and well-being. A consistent theme throughout his research is examining how people's desires for change translate into actual personality growth. His work has increasingly focused on the practical applications of personality science, including developing measures and interventions that can help people achieve their desired personality changes. Scientific Awards: Goss-Lucas Award for Excellence in Teaching James Davis Fellowship Foundation for Personality and Social Psychology Heritage Dissertation Award Hudson actively mentors students in the Δ Lab at SMU, where they conduct research on personality change, attachment, and well-being. He has secured multiple grants to support his research on volitional personality change and the development of personality assessment tools. His lab has developed several psychological measures, including the Change Goals Big Five Inventory (C-BFI2) and its variants, which are freely available for academic research. Hudson also engages with the public through his TEDx talk "You Can Change Your Personality" and has been featured in Olga Khazan's book "Me, But Better," which applies his research to real-life settings. The Δ Lab, led by Hudson, is dedicated to understanding individual differences in personality and how people can intentionally change aspects of themselves. The lab values all individual differences among humans, recognizing that variance in human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is adaptive and makes humanity resilient. The lab wholeheartedly supports the LGBTQ+ community and emphasizes that individual differences between humans are what personality science is all about.
