Understanding the relationship between personality and income is a topic of interest across multiple disciplines. Correlations between people's personalities and their incomes may arise because differences in stable personalities relate to income differences (between-person effects) or because changes in personality or income are later reflected in the other variable (within-person effects). The current research uses random-intercept cross-lagged panel models to disentangle the two sorts of effects to better understand the relationship between the six factors of personality and income. Using data from 6824 working-age adults in New Zealand across 4 years, we found between-person effects showing higher incomes were obtained by both men and women who were more extraverted, agreeable and open, and less neurotic. Within-person effects showed that earning a higher income was associated with higher neuroticism and lower extraversion over time, while higher extraversion was associated with a lower income over time.
理解个性与收入之间的关系是多个学科都感兴趣的话题。人们的个性与收入之间可能存在相关性，这可能是因为稳定个性的差异与收入差异相关（个体间效应），或者是因为个性或收入的变化随后会反映在另一个变量中（个体内效应）。当前的研究使用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型来区分这两种效应，以便更好地理解个性的六个因素与收入之间的关系。利用来自新西兰6824名工作年龄成年人4年的数据，我们发现个体间效应表明，性格更外向、随和、开放且神经质程度较低的男性和女性收入更高。个体内效应表明，随着时间的推移，收入较高与较高的神经质和较低的外向性相关，而较高的外向性则与较低的收入相关。
