Coping, personality, and identity are three well-known constructs within the field of psychology. Yet, findings regarding how these constructs relate to each other have been inconsistent. The present study employs network analysis to investigate coping, adaptive and maladaptive personality, and identity and how they are related, using data from the Flemish Study on Parenting, Personality, and Development (FSPPD; Prinzie et al., 2003; 1999-current). Young adults ( = 457; 47% male), aged between 17-23 years old, completed a survey on coping, adaptive and maladaptive personality, and identity. Results indicate clear associations between coping and both adaptive and maladaptive personality within the network, suggesting coping and personality are distinct, yet highly related constructs whereas identity proved largely unrelated. Potential implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
应对方式、人格和身份认同是心理学领域中三个广为人知的概念。然而,关于这些概念之间相互关系的研究结果并不一致。本研究采用网络分析方法,利用佛兰德亲子关系、人格和发展研究(Flemish Study on Parenting, Personality, and Development,FSPPD;Prinzie 等人,2003 年;1999 年至今)的数据,研究应对方式、适应性和适应性不良人格以及身份认同之间的关系。研究对象为年龄在 17-23 岁之间的年轻人(=457;男性占 47%),他们完成了一份关于应对方式、适应性和适应性不良人格以及身份认同的调查问卷。研究结果表明,应对方式与人格网络中的适应性和适应性不良人格之间存在明显的关联,这表明应对方式和人格是两个不同但高度相关的概念,而身份认同则与之关联不大。文章讨论了潜在的影响和未来研究的建议。
