Abstract

Several personality models suggest that emotional stability represents a rather core trait that is more basic than self-esteem, self-efficacy, and locus of control proposed as more particularized characteristics within the personality system. Simultaneously, a common core construct underlying these four aspects of self-evaluations has been hypothesized. In this study, we investigated whether emotional stability qualifies as more basic construct accounting for (common) variance in the other three characteristics rather than the reverse. Applying cross-lagged panel models to data from 3068 self-ratings and 2184 informant-ratings across three measurement occasions, we found emotional stability to display higher cross-time stability and dominance regarding predictive effects. Nonetheless, it did not qualify as sole source of substantial links between self-esteem, self-efficacy, and locus of control.

情绪稳定性是否构成自我评价的核心？

有几种人格模型表明，情绪稳定性代表了一种相当核心的特质，它比自尊、自我效能感和自我控制更基本，是人格系统中更具体化的特征。同时，也有人假设这四个方面的自我评价背后有一个共同的核心结构。在本研究中，我们探讨了情绪稳定性是否是一个更基本的结构，而不是相反，它是否会影响其他三个特征的（共同）变异。通过对来自 3068 个自我评价和 2184 个信息提供者评价的数据在三个测量场合的交叉滞后面板模型的应用，我们发现情绪稳定性显示出更高的跨时间稳定性和预测效果的主导性。然而，情绪稳定性并不是自尊、自我效能感和控制感之间实质性联系的唯一来源。

期刊介绍： Emphasizing experimental and descriptive research, the Journal of Research in Personality presents articles that examine important issues in the field of personality and in related fields basic to the understanding of personality. The subject matter includes treatments of genetic, physiological, motivational, learning, perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of both normal and abnormal kinds in human and animal subjects. Features: • Papers that present integrated sets of studies that address significant theoretical issues relating to personality. • Theoretical papers and critical reviews of current experimental and methodological interest. • Single, well-designed studies of an innovative nature. • Brief reports, including replication or null result studies of previously reported findings, or a well-designed studies addressing questions of limited scope.
