Abstract

Differences in transition experiences might explain individual differences in personality trait change. In the present six-wave study, we investigated personality trait change during the transition to work in a sample of students who were in their last two years of their study program (N = 311). We tested whether the transition (i.e., participation in an internship), psychological commitment (i.e., educational identity), and mastery of the transition (i.e., GPA and fit between master degree and job) would predict individual differences in personality trait change. The results indicated that mastery and commitment did not explain individual differences in personality trait change. Only individual differences in extraversion change could be explained by participation in an internship, by means of reduced extraversion in internship students.

过渡到工作生活的经历重要吗?掌握与心理承诺在人格特质改变中的作用

过渡经历的差异可以解释人格特质变化的个体差异。在目前的六波研究中，我们调查了在学习计划最后两年的学生(N = 311)过渡到工作期间的人格特征变化。我们测试了过渡(即参与实习)、心理承诺(即教育认同)和对过渡的掌握(即GPA和硕士学位与工作的契合度)是否会预测人格特质变化的个体差异。结果表明，掌握和承诺不能解释人格特质变化的个体差异。只有参与实习才能解释外向性变化的个体差异，因为实习学生的外向性降低了。
