Expressive accuracy, being viewed in line with one's unique, distinctive personality traits, is emerging as an important individual difference that is strongly linked to psychological well-being. Yet little is known about what underlies expressive accuracy and its associations with well-being. The current studies examined whether personality-behavior congruence, the tendency to behave in line with one's distinctive personality trait profile, contributes to the links between well-being and expressive accuracy with new acquaintances (Unique perceiver-target pairs: Study 1: N = 437; Study 2: N = 874), by assessing congruence in naturalistic situations, including in a series of getting-acquainted interactions (Study 1; Ntargets = 77; Mdn Interactions: 7) and social situations in daily life over a 2-week period (Study 2; Ntargets = 146; MdnAssessments: 49). Across studies, we found that greater well-being predicted greater congruence, in both naturalistic social interactions and in daily life, which in turn contributed to greater expressive accuracy in getting-acquainted interactions. Overall, the current studies demonstrate the important role that congruence plays in expressive accuracy, helping to explain why well-adjusted individuals are seen more accurately.

表达准确性，被视为与个体独特、独特的个性特征相一致，正成为一种与心理健康密切相关的重要个体差异。然而，人们对表达准确性的基础及其与幸福感的关联知之甚少。目前的研究通过评估自然情境中的一致性，包括一系列相识互动（研究 1；目标人数=77；平均互动次数：7）和日常生活中的社交情境（研究 2；目标人数=146；平均评估次数：49），检验了人格-行为一致性（即表现出与独特个性特征一致的行为倾向）是否有助于幸福感和表达准确性与新相识之间的联系（独特的感知者-目标对：研究 1：N=437；研究 2：N=874）。在两项研究中，我们发现，幸福感越高，在自然的社交互动和日常生活中，一致性越高，而这反过来又有助于在相识互动中表现出更高的表达准确性。总的来说，目前的研究表明，一致性在表达准确性中起着重要作用，有助于解释为什么适应良好的个体被认为更准确。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
