Abstract

Associations between personality and self-reported health problems may be biased by reporting heterogeneity, that is, tendency to rate the severity of the same health problem differently. This study used hypothetical health vignettes to examine the magnitude of such heterogeneity. Participants were from Health and Retirement Study (HRS; n = 3950; mean age 65 years, range from 30 to 97) and Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS; n = 8664; mean age 64 years, range from 34 to 87). Personality traits of the Five Factor Model (extraversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) were only weakly associated with vignette ratings (rs < 0.10). Associations between personality and self-reported health problems were not substantially changed when the thresholds of self-reported severity were allowed to vary by personality, based on the participants' ratings of the vignettes. Reporting heterogeneity does not appear to be a major source of bias in the associations between personality traits and self-reported health problems.

人格与健康问题之间的报告异质性：用健康小故事锚定自我报告。

人格与自我报告的健康问题之间的关联可能会因报告异质性（即对同一健康问题的严重程度有不同评价的倾向）而产生偏差。本研究使用假设的健康小故事来检验这种异质性的程度。参与者来自 "健康与退休研究"（HRS；n = 3950；平均年龄 65 岁，介于 30 岁至 97 岁之间）和 "威斯康星纵向研究"（WLS；n = 8664；平均年龄 64 岁，介于 34 岁至 87 岁之间）。五因素模型中的人格特质（外向性、情绪稳定性、合意性、自觉性和经验开放性）与小节评分只有微弱的关联（rs
