Abstract

Objective and background: The personality trait of agreeableness is linked to a number of core tendencies (e.g., empathy, warmth) that operate in a feeling-based manner. Following considerations of this type, it is proposed that the motivations and characteristics of agreeable individuals, relative to disagreeable individuals, should render them more receptive to emotional events and more responsive to them for this reason.

Method: Potential links between agreeableness and emotional reactivity were assessed in two studies involving four samples (total N = 517) in which participants continuously rated their feeling states in response to a variety of affective images.

Results: Agreeableness did not predict the speed with which emotional reactions began, but agreeable individuals exhibited higher-magnitude peak intensities, regardless of whether stimuli were appetitive (pleasant) or aversive (unpleasant) in nature.

Conclusions: The findings provide novel insights into the personality trait of agreeableness, emotional reactivity phenomena, and the dynamic processes that link agreeableness to emotion.

情感是关爱的货币：合意性在情绪反应中的作用。

目的和背景：合群的人格特质与一些以感情为基础的核心倾向（如同理心、温暖）有关。根据这种类型的考虑，有人提出，相对于不合群的人，合群的人的动机和特点应该使他们更容易接受情感事件，并因此对情感事件做出更多反应：方法：在两项涉及四个样本（总人数=517）的研究中，评估了宜人性与情绪反应性之间的潜在联系：结果表明：合意度并不能预测情绪反应开始的速度，但合意度高的人表现出更高的峰值强度，无论刺激物的性质是胃口性的（令人愉快的）还是厌恶性的（令人不愉快的）：结论：这些研究结果为我们提供了关于 "合群 "这一人格特质、情绪反应现象以及将 "合群 "与情绪联系起来的动态过程的新见解。
