Abstract

This multi-method and multi-rater study examined the association between personality and loneliness. Participants (n = 297) completed baseline self-rated and partner-rated personality traits; baseline self-rated loneliness; self-rated momentary loneliness (6444 assessments) and partner-rated daily loneliness (2139 assessments). Baseline correlations indicated that higher self and partner-rated neuroticism and lower extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness were related to higher loneliness. In multilevel modeling, self and partner-rated neuroticism and conscientiousness were generally associated with self-rated momentary loneliness and daily partner-rated loneliness, but extraversion and agreeableness had inconsistent associations. Similarly, interpersonal warmth and sociability facets were associated with dispositional loneliness but were mostly unrelated to momentary loneliness. Findings suggest that neuroticism and emotion-related facets are more relevant to momentary loneliness than sociability and other interpersonal traits.

人格特质与孤独：自我与伴侣评分的生态瞬时评估研究

这项多方法、多指标的研究考察了个性与孤独之间的关系。参与者（n = 297）完成了基线自我评定和伴侣评定的人格特征；基线自评孤独；自我评估的短暂孤独（6444次评估）和伴侣评估的日常孤独（2139次评估）。基线相关性表明，较高的自我和伴侣评价的神经质和较低的外向性、严谨性和宜人性与较高的孤独感有关。在多层次模型中，自我和伴侣评定的神经质和尽责性通常与自我评定的瞬时孤独感和日常伴侣评定的孤独感相关，但外向性和亲和性具有不一致的关联。同样，人际温暖和社交方面与性格孤独有关，但大多与短暂孤独无关。研究结果表明，与社交能力和其他人际特质相比，神经质和情绪相关方面与短暂孤独的关系更大。
