The authors examined associations between 5-factor personality traits and retirement in a diverse community sample. Longitudinal analyses (n = 367) compared personality trajectories of participants who remained employed and participants who retired. Personality at baseline did not predict future retirement, but compared to participants who remained employed, retirees increased in Agreeableness and decreased in Activity, a facet of Extraversion. In cross-sectional analyses among retirees (n = 144), those low in Neuroticism and high in Extraversion reported higher retirement satisfaction, and those high in Extraversion reported higher postretirement activity levels. Findings suggest that the trait perspective contributes to the understanding of the retirement process.
作者在一个多样化的社区样本中研究了五因素人格特质与退休之间的关联。纵向分析（n = 367）比较了仍在工作的参与者和已退休参与者的人格轨迹。基线时的人格并不能预测未来是否会退休，但与仍在工作的参与者相比，退休人员的宜人性增加，外向性的一个方面即活力减少。在退休人员的横断面分析（n = 144）中，神经质得分低且外向性得分高的人报告的退休满意度更高，外向性得分高的人报告的退休后活动水平更高。研究结果表明，特质视角有助于理解退休过程。
