Abstract

Typical nomothetic, dimensional conceptualizations of personality traits have demonstrated that traits show robust patterns of change across the lifespan. Yet, questions linger about both the mechanisms underlying trait change and the extent to which we can understand any individual using only dimensional approaches. Alternatively, a person-specific conceptualization of personality that emphasizes processes specific to one person may offer more insight into changes at the expense of generalizability. We argue that taking an idiographic, person-specific dynamic network approach to understanding a person provides an opportunity to bridge the nomothetic-idiographic gap and understand processes underlying trait change that may point to how personality changes across the lifespan. In this study, we examined whether the properties of idiographic personality networks were related to between-person personality trait changes in a sample of college students (N = 418). We used dynamic exploratory graph analysis to construct N = 1 personality networks and then included network parameters in multilevel growth models over a 2-year period using self- and informant-report data. We found that network parameters were largely unrelated to between-person change for self-reports but were related to some informant-reports. Discussion revolves around continuing to bridge the two approaches together to create a holistic picture of personality change. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

将个人特定的网络参数与人与人之间的特征变化联系起来。
典型的人格特征的象形、维度概念化表明,人格特征在整个生命周期中表现出强大的变化模式。然而,关于特质变化的潜在机制以及我们仅使用维度方法可以理解任何个体的程度的问题仍然存在。另外,一个针对个人的人格概念化,强调一个人的特定过程,可能会以牺牲通用性为代价,为变化提供更多的见解。我们认为,采用具体的、个人特定的动态网络方法来理解一个人,为弥合形态与具体的差距和理解潜在的特征变化过程提供了一个机会,这些变化可能指出人格在整个生命周期中是如何变化的。在本研究中,我们以418名大学生为样本,考察了具体人格网络的性质是否与人际间人格特质的变化有关。我们使用动态探索性图分析构建N = 1个性网络,然后使用自我和举报人报告数据将网络参数纳入2年期间的多层次成长模型。我们发现网络参数在很大程度上与自我报告的人际变化无关,但与某些举报人报告有关。讨论围绕着继续将这两种方法连接在一起,以创造一个人格改变的整体图景。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
