This study examined relationships between personality disorder (PD) features, Big Five personality traits, and interpersonal problems with anxiety.
Older adults ( = 130) completed the Geriatric Anxiety Scale, Coolidge Axis Two Inventory, Big Five Inventory-2, and Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Problems. Pearson correlation analyses were used to assess simple relationships between anxiety with PD features (CATI scales), Big Five personality domains (BFI-2 scales), and interpersonal problems (CSIP scales). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to determine the extent to which the PD scales of the CATI, the personality scales of the BFI-2, and the scales of the CSIP explained variance in anxiety.
Anxiety was positively correlated with 13 of 14 PD scales, ranging from .23 (Narcissistic) to .61 (Depressive). Regarding Big Five personality traits, anxiety was negatively associated with Agreeableness (-.23), Conscientiousness (-.30), and Extraversion (-.31) but was positively associated with Negative Emotionality (.56). Regarding interpersonal problems, anxiety was positively related to all eight CSIP scales, ranging from Self-sacrificing (.30) to Distant/Cold (.62). Regression analyses indicated that PD features accounted for the most variance in anxiety symptoms (53%), followed by interpersonal problems (46%), and Big Five personality traits (33%).
Anxiety appears to be meaningfully associated with PD features, several aspects of Big Five personality traits, and interpersonal problems, suggesting that these variables may play important roles in the development and maintenance of anxiety, or vice versa. Our findings especially speak to the growing awareness of the deleterious impact of PD features on clinical syndromes in later life, as evidenced by strong comorbidities with anxiety.
本研究考察了人格障碍（PD）特征、大五人格特质与焦虑人际问题之间的关系。
130名老年人完成了老年焦虑量表、柯立芝第二轴量表、大五人格量表-2和人际问题环形量表。使用Pearson相关分析来评估焦虑与PD特征（CATI量表）、大五人格领域（BFI-2量表）和人际问题（CSIP量表）之间的简单关系。进行多元线性回归分析以确定CATI的PD量表、BFI-2的人格量表和CSIP量表在多大程度上解释了焦虑的方差。
焦虑与14个PD量表中的13个呈正相关，范围从0.23（自恋）到0.61（抑郁）。关于大五人格特质，焦虑与宜人性（-0.23）、尽责性（-0.30）和外向性（-0.31）呈负相关，但与消极情绪（0.56）呈正相关。关于人际问题，焦虑与所有八个CSIP量表呈正相关，范围从自我牺牲（0.30）到疏远/冷漠（0.62）。回归分析表明，PD特征在焦虑症状的方差中占比最大（53%），其次是人际问题（46%）和大五人格特质（33%）。
焦虑似乎与PD特征、大五人格特质的几个方面以及人际问题有显著关联，这表明这些变量可能在焦虑的发展和维持中起重要作用，反之亦然。我们的研究结果尤其表明，人们越来越意识到PD特征对晚年临床综合征的有害影响，焦虑症的强烈共病现象就是证明。
