Abstract

The authors investigated the stability of personality and trait affect in young adults. In Studies 1 and 2, young adults were retested on a Big Five personality measure and a trait affect inventory over a 2.5-year and a 2-month period, respectively. Results from Study 1 point to positive mean-level changes; participants scored higher on Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness at Time 2. Affectively, participants experienced less negative affect and more positive affect at Time 2. Results from both retests provide clear evidence of differential stability. Affective traits were consistently less stable than the Big Five. Other analyses suggest that life events influence the stability of affective traits more than the Big Five.

摘要

作者们研究了年轻人的人格稳定性和特质情感。在研究1和研究2中，分别在2.5年和2个月的时间段内，对年轻人进行了大五人格测量和特质情感量表的重测。研究1的结果表明平均水平有积极变化；参与者在第二次测试时在外向性、开放性、宜人性和尽责性方面得分更高。在情感方面，参与者在第二次测试时体验到的消极情感更少，积极情感更多。两次重测的结果都提供了差异稳定性的明确证据。情感特质始终比大五人格特质更不稳定。其他分析表明，生活事件对情感特质稳定性的影响大于对大五人格特质的影响。
