Abstract

Background: Although personality trait models have become consolidated as the hegemonic taxonomical models for describing personality and provide excellent capacity for predicting variables of psychological interest (i.e., mental disorders), there are still important gaps in our knowledge about why personality traits predict those variables. We hypothesised that intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety sensitivity and metacognition may partially give an answer to that why.

Method: We analysed: (1) the relationship between those three variables and the five dimensions of the Big Five model (n = 914; 51.7% women) in Study 1, and (2) the relationship between those variables and neuroticism facets (n = 656; 55.7% women) in Study 2.

Results: Results: Intolerance of uncertainty was statistically related to the dimensions of neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness, while anxiety sensitivity also proved to be related to neuroticism. Both variables were related to the six facets of the neuroticism dimension (with the exception of the impulsivity facet for intolerance of uncertainty). Metacognition showed no significant relationship with any of the personality dimensions.

Conclusions: The current work sheds some light on the why underlying the potential relationships between personality traits and relevant behaviours, with intolerance of uncertainty and anxiety sensitivity being particularly important, especially concerning the neuroticism dimension. why.

人格特质之外还有什么？不确定性不耐受、焦虑敏感性和元认知的作用。

背景：虽然人格特质模型已经成为描述人格的主导分类模型，并为预测心理变量（如精神障碍）提供了出色的能力，但我们对人格特质预测这些变量的知识仍然存在重要的空白。我们假设，对不确定性的不容忍、焦虑敏感性和元认知可能是部分原因。方法：我们分析：(1)这三个变量与大五模型的五个维度之间的关系(= 914；(2)这些变量与神经质各方面的关系(= 656；55.7%女性)。结果：不确定性不耐受与神经质、外向性和宜人性维度有统计学相关性，而焦虑敏感性也与神经质相关。这两个变量都与神经质维度的六个方面有关（不确定性不耐受的冲动性方面除外）。元认知与任何人格维度都没有显著的关系。结论：目前的研究揭示了人格特质和相关行为之间的潜在关系，尤其是在神经质维度上，对不确定性的不容忍和焦虑敏感性尤为重要。为什么。
