The purpose of this study was a cross-cultural examination of centenarians' personality through a person-centered approach to examine if there is a "resilient" personality profile consistent across cultures. Proxy reports information was obtained from family and close friends of 239 U.S. centenarians from the Georgia Centenarians Study and 272 Japanese centenarians from the Tokyo Centenarian Study. Latent profile analyses were conducted to identify personality profiles in centenarians from the United States and Japan. Two personality profiles were identified in both samples: a "resilient" personality profile and "nonresilient" personality profile. The "resilient" group had higher levels of positive personality traits with higher scores on agreeableness and extraversion and lower scores on neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness. The "nonresilient" group had higher scores on neuroticism and lower scores on extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Fifty percent of U.S. centenarians and 65% of Japanese centenarians were in the "resilient" group.
本研究旨在通过一种以人为中心的方法，对百岁老人的人格进行跨文化研究，以检验是否存在一种在不同文化中一致的“坚韧”人格特征。从美国乔治亚州百岁老人研究中的 239 名美国百岁老人和日本东京百岁老人研究中的 272 名日本百岁老人的家属和亲密朋友那里获得了代理报告信息。对来自美国和日本的百岁老人的人格特征进行了潜在剖面分析。在两个样本中都确定了两种人格特征：“坚韧”的人格特征和“不坚韧”的人格特征。“坚韧”组具有更高水平的积极人格特质，在宜人性和外向性方面得分较高，而在神经质、尽责性和开放性方面得分较低。“不坚韧”组在神经质方面得分较高，而在外向性、开放性、宜人性和尽责性方面得分较低。50%的美国百岁老人和 65%的日本百岁老人属于“坚韧”组。
