Abstract

Abstract: Psychological flexibility has attracted significant research interest but surprisingly, investigations about the relationships with personality traits from the biological models of personality have been neglected. The present study therefore aimed to shed more light on the nature of the relationship between psychological flexibility and personality dimensions from Zuckerman’s Alternative Five-Factor Model (AFFM) based on a sample of 398 adults. Psychological flexibility was negatively associated with neuroticism and positively associated with extraversion, aggressiveness, and sensation seeking. Lower neuroticism, higher extraversion, and being a woman significantly predicted approximately 39% of the variance in psychological flexibility. A joint exploratory factor analysis found psychological flexibility located in the neuroticism factor of personality. Findings show that the AFFM can be used as an adequate personality model in explaining the nature of psychological flexibility-inflexibility based on the associations between their sub-processes and lower levels of personality traits. The nature of the relationships between psychological flexibility with both sensation seeking and aggressiveness requires closer investigation.

在祖克曼的另类人格空间中灵活变通

摘要：心理灵活性已引起了广泛的研究兴趣，但令人惊讶的是，有关心理灵活性与人格生物模型中的人格特质之间关系的研究却一直被忽视。因此，本研究以 398 名成年人为样本，旨在进一步揭示心理灵活性与祖克曼的替代五因素模型（AFFM）中的人格维度之间的关系。心理弹性与神经质呈负相关，与外向性、攻击性和感觉寻求呈正相关。较低的神经质、较高的外向性和女性身份可显著预测约 39% 的心理灵活性变异。联合探索性因子分析发现，心理灵活性位于人格的神经质因子中。研究结果表明，AFFM 可以作为一个适当的人格模型，根据其子过程与较低层次人格特质之间的关联来解释心理弹性-灵活性的性质。心理灵活性与寻求感觉和攻击性之间关系的性质需要更深入的研究。

The Journal of Individual Differences publishes manuscripts dealing with individual differences in behavior, emotion, cognition, and their developmental aspects. This includes human as well as animal research. The Journal of Individual Differences is conceptualized to bring together researchers working in different areas ranging from, for example, molecular genetics to theories of complex behavior.
