This study sought to determine whether personality traits of depressed patients could be assessed similarly by informants and self-reports of the patients themselves.
Forty-six depressed outpatients completed the self-report (first-person) version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and nominated informants who knew them well to complete the third-person version of that instrument.
Agreement between the self-ratings and informants' ratings on the five factors of the inventory--neuroticism, extraversion, openness-to-experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness--was high. The only significant difference between the self-ratings and informants' ratings was on the extraversion scale, where the patients rated themselves as significantly more introverted than did the informants.
Informants' ratings of personality are similar to self-report ratings of depressed patients. Depressed mood may not influence the self-report of personality traits.
本研究旨在确定抑郁症患者的人格特质是否能由熟悉患者的他人评估以及患者自身的自我报告以相似的方式进行评估。
46名门诊抑郁症患者完成了修订版的NEO人格量表的自我报告（第一人称）版本，并指定熟悉他们的他人完成该量表的第三人称版本。
在量表的五个因素——神经质、外向性、经验开放性、宜人性和尽责性上，自我评分与他人评分之间的一致性很高。自我评分与他人评分之间唯一显著的差异在于外向性量表，患者对自己内向程度的评分显著高于他人。
他人对抑郁症患者人格的评分与自我报告评分相似。抑郁情绪可能不会影响人格特质的自我报告。
