This article examines the implications of personality traits for social network connectedness in older adulthood, across different social relationships.
This article uses data from the National Social Life Health and Aging Project (NSHAP), a nationally-representative, longitudinal survey of community-dwelling older Americans (N = 2,261). Network characteristics were predicted using Poisson and negative binomial regression (for network size) as well as multilevel identity-linked and ordinal-logit-linked regressions (for tie strength).
Extraversion and agreeableness were associated with tie strength, and extraversion was weakly associated with friend network size. Few trait-by-role-relationship interactions emerged, although more-neurotic persons were more likely to talk about their health with friends.
Personality traits impact the strength of social network ties in older adulthood. However, traits may have minimal impact on network size. The consequences of personality also appear to be largely consistent across different social relationships.
本文探讨了人格特质对老年人不同社会关系中社交网络连接的影响。
本文使用了来自全国社会生活、健康和老龄化研究项目（NSHAP）的数据，该项目是一项针对美国社区居住的老年人的全国代表性纵向调查（N=2261）。使用泊松和负二项回归（用于网络规模）以及多层次身份链接和有序逻辑链接回归（用于关系强度）来预测网络特征。
外向性和宜人性与关系强度相关，外向性与朋友网络规模弱相关。尽管神经质较高的人更有可能与朋友谈论自己的健康状况，但很少出现特质与角色关系的相互作用。
人格特质影响老年人社交网络关系的强度。然而，特质对网络规模的影响可能很小。人格的后果在不同的社会关系中也基本一致。
