This study's main aims were to investigate the Big Five personality trait heterogeneity of study participants in two age groups and to examine whether these traits' heterogeneity can explain possible individual differences in meteoropathy intensity.
The sample was comprised of 758 participants divided into two age groups: 378 young adults (18-30 years old) and 380 older adults (60+ years old). The participants filled out online or paper versions of the METEO-Q questionnaire and the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI).
A latent profile analysis of the completed inventories showed various personality profiles differ in meteoropathy intensity. However, personality's differentiating effect on meteoropathy was observed only among the young adult group.
Our study's results indicate that there is no one personality trait pattern that fits all individuals regarding sensitivity to weather changes. This issue is especially visible when considering age differences.
本研究的主要目的是调查两个年龄组研究参与者的大五人格特质异质性，并探讨这些特质的异质性是否可以解释气象病强度的个体差异。
该样本由 758 名参与者组成，分为两个年龄组：378 名年轻人（18-30 岁）和 380 名老年人（60 岁以上）。参与者填写了在线或纸质版的 METEO-Q 问卷和 10 项人格量表（TIPI）。
对完成的量表进行潜在剖面分析显示，不同的人格特征在气象病强度方面存在差异。然而，人格对气象病的区分作用仅在年轻组中观察到。
我们的研究结果表明，对于天气变化的敏感性，没有一种适合所有人的人格特质模式。考虑到年龄差异，这个问题尤为明显。
