In situation perceptions, the objective situation and its unique construal are confounded. We propose a multiple-rater approach where situations are rated by raters in situ (who experienced the situations first-hand) and raters ex situ (who read participants’ factual descriptions of the situations). Two multi-wave studies (Austria: N = 176–179, 3 waves; USA: N = 202, 4 waves), examined associations between personality traits (Big Five OCEAN) and four sources of ratings of situation characteristics (Situational Eight DIAMONDS), namely (a) in situ (situation experience), (b) ex situ (situation contact, conservative), (c) what is shared between in situ and ex situ (situation contact, liberal), and (d) in situ controlled for ex situ (situation construal). Replicable evidence was found that personality is associated with the situations people encounter as well as their construal of them.
