This study investigated the relation between personality factors, as measured by the Swedish version of the NEO-FFI questionnaire, and the realism in older adults' (aged 60-93 years, = 1,384) probability confidence judgements of their answers to general knowledge questions. The results showed very small effect sizes for the contribution of the personality variables to the fit between the proportion correct answers and the level of one's confidence judgements. Although personality differed somewhat within the age span studied and between the genders no differences were found in the relation between the dimensions of the NEO-FFI and the degree of realism in the confidence judgements as a function of age or gender. In total, the results show a significant but very small effect of personality on the realism in older adults' confidence judgements of their semantic knowledge.
本研究调查了用瑞典版NEO-FFI问卷测量的人格因素与老年人（年龄在60 - 93岁，n = 1384）对常识问题答案的概率信心判断中的现实性之间的关系。结果表明，人格变量对正确答案比例与个人信心判断水平之间拟合度的贡献效应量非常小。尽管在所研究的年龄范围内人格存在一定差异，且男女之间也有差异，但未发现NEO-FFI各维度与信心判断现实程度之间的关系因年龄或性别而有所不同。总体而言，结果表明人格对老年人语义知识信心判断的现实性有显著但非常小的影响。
