The relation of aging and the stability of personality in late life is evaluated by a literature review. The findings of six longitudinal studies reveal that rank-order consistency continues into old age. The mean-level stability reveals a concave curve for 'neuroticism' with an increase after age 80, a decrease for 'extraversion', and an increase for 'agreeableness'. The methodological and conceptual issues of personality assessment with old adults can be resolved by using a self report scale which corresponds to the capacities and the lifestyle of older adults and by involving age related variables into analyses.
通过文献综述评估衰老与晚年人格稳定性之间的关系。六项纵向研究的结果表明，等级顺序一致性持续到老年。平均水平稳定性显示，“神经质”呈凹形曲线，80岁后上升；“外向性”下降；“宜人性”上升。通过使用与老年人能力和生活方式相匹配的自我报告量表，并将与年龄相关的变量纳入分析，可以解决老年人人格评估中的方法学和概念性问题。
