Abstract

Based on the evidence from cross-sectional studies, there is an ongoing debate whether personality traits and personality functioning are redundant (e.g., because these constructs are strongly correlated). However, some questions regarding their overlap can only be addressed using longitudinal data. In this Registered Report, we examined the (co)development of the Big Five personality traits and personality functioning using longitudinal data from individuals who had recently experienced a negative life event ( N = 1,151). Personality functioning was less rank-order stable than conscientiousness and less mean-level stable than all Big Five traits except neuroticism. Furthermore, the developmental trajectory of the level of personality functioning was particularly similar to the developmental trajectory of neuroticism. Our results show that personality functioning and most Big Five personality traits differ in their longitudinal development in the context of negative life events and suggest the need for a clearer distinction between personality functioning and neuroticism.

消极生活事件后人格特质的纵向发展与人格功能水平

基于横断面研究的证据，人们一直在争论人格特质和人格功能是否冗余(例如，因为这些结构是强相关的)。然而，关于它们重叠的一些问题只能使用纵向数据来解决。在这篇注册报告中，我们使用来自最近经历过负面生活事件的个体(N = 1151)的纵向数据，研究了五大人格特征和人格功能的共同发展。人格功能的等级稳定性低于尽责性，平均水平稳定性低于除神经质外的所有五大特征。此外，人格功能水平的发展轨迹与神经质的发展轨迹特别相似。我们的研究结果表明，在负面生活事件的背景下，人格功能和大多数五大人格特征的纵向发展是不同的，这表明需要更明确地区分人格功能和神经质。
