Abstract

People differ in the way they live their daily lives. For some people, daily life is characterized by multiple and diverse experiences, while others have more stability and routine in their lives. However, little is known about how variety in daily life relates to the expression of personality states. The present study examined within-person associations between variety in social partners, places, and activities with state expression. Data came from an ambulatory assessment study ( N = 962, Mage = 25.49) with four assessments per day over a period of six consecutive days. The results of the multilevel modeling analyses suggest that variety in daily life is associated with some, but not all, state expressions. For instance, on days when participants experienced a greater variety in activities, they reported being less neurotic and conscientious, but also more agreeable. In addition, the links between all social partners, places, and activities with the expression of the state were examined simultaneously to obtain more detailed information on the multifaceted nature of situation-state expression links. We conclude that variety in daily life has both theoretical and empirical relevance for the expression of personality states.

日常生活中的变化与人格状态的表达有何关系？动态评估研究

人们的日常生活方式各不相同。对一些人来说，日常生活的特点是丰富多彩的经历，而另一些人的生活则更稳定、更有规律。然而，人们对日常生活中的多样性与人格状态的表达之间的关系知之甚少。本研究考察了社会伴侣、场所和活动的多样性与状态表达之间的人内关联。数据来自一项动态评估研究（N=962，Mage=25.49），该研究在连续六天内每天进行四次评估。多层次建模分析的结果表明，日常生活中的多样性与一些但不是全部的状态表达有关。例如，当参与者体验到更多种类的活动时，他们报告说自己不那么神经质和认真，但也更随和。此外，还同时研究了所有社会伙伴、场所和活动与国家表达之间的联系，以获得关于情境-国家表达联系的多方面性质的更详细信息。我们得出结论，日常生活中的多样性对人格状态的表达既有理论意义，也有经验意义。
