Abstract
Introduction: Personality is a rather neglected aspect in bed rest studies. The aim of the study was to clarify which specific personality pattern may predict the performance of bed rest study participants.
Materials and methods: Personality traits were correlated with participants' performance rated by the team running the study. The sample consisted of N = 68 participants who took part in one of four different studies. A broad set of personality traits correlated with different performance aspects (stability, perseverance, modesty, flexibility, compliance, likability, social adaptation).
Results: Emotional instability showed the highest correlations. Furthermore, participants with low aggressiveness, low empathy and low achievement motivation were rated as more suitable for a study. Additionally, participants with a high extraversion showed a higher social adaptation.
Discussion: The results contribute to the knowledge of the impact of personality in extremely demanding environments and provide first evidence for the identification of an ideal personality profile predicting performance of bed rest study participants.
简介在卧床休息研究中,人格是一个相当容易被忽视的方面。本研究旨在阐明哪种特定的人格模式可以预测卧床休息研究参与者的表现:人格特质与研究小组对参与者表现的评分相关。样本包括 N = 68 名参与者,他们参加了四项不同研究中的一项。一组广泛的人格特质与不同的表现方面(稳定性、毅力、谦虚、灵活性、服从性、宜人性、社会适应性)相关:结果表明:情绪不稳定性的相关性最高。此外,攻击性低、同理心低和成就动机低的参与者被认为更适合学习。此外,外向度高的参与者显示出更高的社会适应性:讨论:研究结果有助于了解人格在要求极高的环境中的影响,并为确定预测卧床休息研究参与者表现的理想人格特征提供了第一手证据。
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
