Personality is a rather neglected aspect in bed rest studies. The aim of the study was to clarify which specific personality pattern may predict the performance of bed rest study participants.
Personality traits were correlated with participants' performance rated by the team running the study. The sample consisted of = 68 participants who took part in one of four different studies. A broad set of personality traits correlated with different performance aspects (stability, perseverance, modesty, flexibility, compliance, likability, social adaptation).
Emotional instability showed the highest correlations. Furthermore, participants with low aggressiveness, low empathy and low achievement motivation were rated as more suitable for a study. Additionally, participants with a high extraversion showed a higher social adaptation.
The results contribute to the knowledge of the impact of personality in extremely demanding environments and provide first evidence for the identification of an ideal personality profile predicting performance of bed rest study participants.
在卧床休息研究中,人格是一个相当被忽视的方面。本研究的目的是阐明哪种特定的人格模式可能预测卧床休息研究参与者的表现。
人格特质与负责开展研究的团队对参与者表现的评分相关。样本包括68名参与者,他们参与了四项不同研究中的一项。一系列广泛的人格特质与不同的表现方面(稳定性、毅力、谦逊、灵活性、依从性、亲和力、社会适应性)相关。
情绪不稳定性显示出最高的相关性。此外,攻击性低、同理心低和成就动机低的参与者被评为更适合参与研究。此外,外向性高的参与者表现出更高的社会适应性。
这些结果有助于了解人格在极端苛刻环境中的影响,并为识别预测卧床休息研究参与者表现的理想人格概况提供了初步证据。
