Perceived discrimination is common and a significant source of stress that may have implications for personality development across adulthood. In this study, we examined whether experiences with discrimination were associated with maladaptive changes in the 5 major dimensions of personality using 2 longitudinal samples that differed in age and follow-up interval. In the Health and Retirement Study, participants who perceived discrimination increased in their tendency to experience negative emotions (neuroticism), decreased in their tendency to be trusting (agreeableness), and decreased in their tendency to be organized and disciplined (conscientiousness). These associations replicated using participants from the Midlife in the United States study. The findings indicate that social pathways, in addition to biological and developmental tasks, are important for adult personality development. (PsycINFO Database Record
感知到的歧视很常见,是压力的一个重要来源,可能会对整个成年期的人格发展产生影响。在本研究中,我们使用了两个年龄和随访间隔不同的纵向样本,检验了歧视经历是否与人格五大维度的适应不良变化有关。在健康与退休研究中,感知到歧视的参与者体验负面情绪的倾向(神经质)增加,信任他人的倾向(宜人性)降低,有条理和自律的倾向(尽责性)降低。这些关联在使用美国中年研究的参与者时得到了重复。研究结果表明,除了生物和发展任务外,社会途径对成人的人格发展也很重要。(PsycINFO数据库记录)
