Abstract

Previous studies have demonstrated that the relationship between personality traits and emotional experience. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. The present study examined the mediating role of regulatory emotional self-efficacy on the relationship between personality traits and gratitude. Using a cross-sectional examination, a sample of 407 adults completed measures of personality traits, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and gratitude. Results showed that extraversion was positively related to gratitude and regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and neuroticism was negatively related to gratitude and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Results also indicated that regulatory emotional self-efficacy mediated the association between the two personality traits (extraversion and neuroticism) and gratitude. In addition, results revealed a reciprocal relationship between regulatory emotional self-efficacy and gratitude. The present findings highlight the importance of beliefs in guiding individuals' behavior and emotional experience. Longitudinal studies and positive emotions interventions aimed at improving well-being could be implemented in the future.

在中国环境中将人格与感恩联系起来：调节情绪自我效能感的中介作用

以往的研究已经证明了人格特质与情绪体验之间的关系。然而，其背后的机制却大多不为人知。本研究探讨了调节性情绪自我效能感对人格特质与感恩之间关系的中介作用。通过横断面研究，407 名成人样本完成了人格特质、调节情绪自我效能感和感恩的测量。结果显示，外向性与感恩和调节情绪自我效能感呈正相关，而神经质与感恩和调节情绪自我效能感呈负相关。结果还表明，调节性情绪自我效能感在两种人格特质（外向性和神经质）与感恩之间起到了中介作用。此外，研究结果还揭示了调节性情绪自我效能感与感恩之间的相互关系。本研究结果强调了信念在指导个人行为和情绪体验方面的重要性。未来可以开展纵向研究和积极情绪干预，以改善幸福感。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
