In a sample of 77 dyads, involving depressed patients at least 50 years of age and their family or friends (informants), patient illness burden and cognitive decline were associated with self-informant rating discrepancies for facets of Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) Openness and Extraversion. Informant judgments about Neuroticism and Conscientiousness were not associated with illness burden or cognitive function, underscoring the potential utility of risk-detection strategies that rely on informant-report in these two domains. Findings suggest the need for research on how patient illness severity and cognitive function affect how friends and family use or misuse information when making judgments about older depressed patients.
在一个包含 77 对患者和其家属或朋友（知情人）的样本中，患有抑郁症的 50 岁以上患者的疾病负担和认知能力下降与修订版 NEO 人格量表（NEO-PI-R）开放性和外向性方面的自评与他评差异有关。知情人对神经质和尽责性的判断与疾病负担或认知功能无关，这突显了在这两个领域依赖知情人报告的风险检测策略的潜在效用。研究结果表明，需要研究患者疾病严重程度和认知功能如何影响朋友和家人在对老年抑郁症患者进行判断时使用或滥用信息。
