The study followed from the idea that neuroticism captures hot or facilitative vulnerabilities related to anger and aggression, whereas agreeableness captures cool or inhibitory processes in relation to these same outcomes. As such, it was predicted that neuroticism and agreeableness should interact to predict anger and aggression according to hot/cool models of self-regulation. This hypothesis was systematically examined among three independent samples of participants (total N = 176). As predicted, neuroticism and agreeableness interacted to predict anger and aggression among all samples, and did so in a manner consistent with the hypothesis that neuroticism-anger relations would be lower at high levels of agreeableness. The results therefore highlight the distinct roles of neuroticism and agreeableness in predicting anger and aggression, while placing these traits in a common interactive self-regulatory framework.
该研究源于这样一种观点,即神经质反映了与愤怒和攻击性相关的热烈或促进性的易感性,而宜人性则反映了与这些相同结果相关的冷静或抑制性过程。因此,根据自我调节的热/冷模型预测,神经质和宜人性应该相互作用来预测愤怒和攻击性。在三个独立的参与者样本(总N = 176)中对这一假设进行了系统检验。正如预测的那样,神经质和宜人性相互作用以预测所有样本中的愤怒和攻击性,并且其方式与该假设一致,即在高宜人性水平下,神经质与愤怒的关系会更低。因此,研究结果突出了神经质和宜人性在预测愤怒和攻击性方面的不同作用,同时将这些特质置于一个共同的交互性自我调节框架中。
