The present study used a levels-of-analysis perspective (McAdams, 1995) to link temperament to depression. We hypothesized a mediational role for three personality variables (Agreeableness, Extraversion, Neuroticism) and two interpersonal variables (social support and negative social exchange) in channeling the effects of temperament. A structural equation modeling approach supported the hypothesis that these three personality variables were mediators of the link between temperament and depression. The patterns of mediation differed for Agreeableness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism. In addition to the three personality variables, social support and negative social exchange were also found to mediate the effects of temperament. There was no evidence that patterns of relations among the variables differed between males and females. Results are discussed in terms of a levels-of-analysis approach to the examination of the effects of temperament and personality on adaptation outcomes.
本研究采用分析层次视角（麦克亚当斯，1995年）将气质与抑郁联系起来。我们假设了三个人格变量（宜人性、外向性、神经质）和两个人际变量（社会支持和消极社会交换）在传递气质影响方面的中介作用。结构方程建模方法支持了这一假设，即这三个人格变量是气质与抑郁之间联系的中介。宜人性、外向性和神经质的中介模式各不相同。除了这三个人格变量外，还发现社会支持和消极社会交换也介导了气质的影响。没有证据表明这些变量之间的关系模式在男性和女性之间存在差异。我们根据分析层次方法对气质和人格对适应结果的影响进行了讨论。
