Despite similar normative changes in antisocial behavior (AB) and traits of disinhibition and negative emotionality during "emerging adulthood," few studies have tested if there are developmental differences in personality over this period for distinct courses of AB. In a college cohort assessed at ages 18 and 25, we examined if mean-level changes on traits from the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire varied by course of AB. Compared to persisters, those who desisted in AB from 18 to 25 exhibited a larger decrease on novelty seeking and larger increase on reward dependence. A significant mean-level decline was observed for harm avoidance, but was unrelated to AB course. Findings support theories of the co-development of personality and AB during emerging adulthood.
尽管在“成年初期”反社会行为（AB）以及抑制解除和负性情绪特质方面存在类似的规范性变化，但很少有研究检验在此期间不同AB进程的人格是否存在发展差异。在一个对18岁和25岁进行评估的大学队列中，我们研究了三维人格问卷中的特质平均水平变化是否因AB进程而异。与持续存在反社会行为者相比，那些在18岁至25岁期间停止反社会行为的人在寻求新奇性方面有更大幅度的下降，在奖励依赖方面有更大幅度的增加。观察到回避伤害有显著的平均水平下降，但与AB进程无关。研究结果支持了成年初期人格与反社会行为共同发展的理论。
