One hundred and seventy males aged 24 to 91 years were measured on daydreaming and related mental activity using the imaginal processes inventory and on temperament using the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperament Survey to determine if earlier results relating temperament to daydreaming in college populations were generalizable to the adult life-span. The earlier derived factor of "Neurotic-Anxious Absorption in Daydreaming" was found in this sample and had a negative correlation with chronological age, suggesting a decrease with increasing age. Other earlier derived factors on "Personal Acceptance-Utilization of Daydreaming," "Masculinity-Femininity," "Thinking Introversion," and "Social Extroversion" were also found in this sample, but were not related to age.
对170名年龄在24岁至91岁之间的男性进行了测量，使用意象过程量表测量其白日梦及相关心理活动，使用吉尔福德 - 齐默尔曼气质调查问卷测量其气质，以确定先前关于大学生群体中气质与白日梦关系的研究结果是否适用于成年人的整个寿命阶段。在这个样本中发现了先前得出的“白日梦中神经质 - 焦虑性专注”因素，且该因素与实际年龄呈负相关，表明随着年龄增长而减少。在这个样本中还发现了其他先前得出的因素，如“白日梦的个人接受 - 利用”“男性气质 - 女性气质”“思维内向性”和“社交外向性”，但这些因素与年龄无关。
