Abstract

This study looked at personality and sub-clinical personality disorder correlates of self-rated motives for aesthetic motivation (AM). Two groups, totalling over 4000 adult British managers, completed three tests including a personality trait measure (HPI); a personality disorders measure (HDS), and a measure of their Motives and Values (MVPI) for Aestheticism and Culture. The two different groups had similar results, showing that for personality traits Inquisitiveness (Openness-to-Experience) and Sociability (Extraversion) were positively, and Adjustment (low Neuroticism) and Prudence (Conscientiousness) were negatively, related to AM. For personality disorder traits Imaginativeness (Schizotypy) and Colourful (Histrionic) were positively correlated with AM. Factor analysis confirmed the higher order classification of both traits and disorders. Regressions at the higher factor level suggested personality traits were more related to AM than disorder traits. Implications for the selection and management of aesthetic people are considered. Limitations and future directions are also noted.

人口学、人格特质与人格障碍与审美动机的相关性

这项研究考察了人格和亚临床人格障碍与审美动机（AM）的自我评价动机的相关性。两组共有4000多名英国成年经理，完成了三项测试，包括人格特质测量（HPI）；人格障碍测量（HDS）以及他们的审美主义和文化动机和价值观测量（MVPI）。这两个不同的组有相似的结果，显示在人格特征方面，Inquisity（对经验的开放性）和Sociability（外向性）与AM呈正相关，Adjustment（低神经质）和Prudence（认真）与AM呈负相关。在人格障碍特征方面，Imaginative（Schizotypy）和Colourful（Historionic）与AM正相关。因子分析证实了性状和病症的高阶分类。较高因素水平的回归表明，人格特征与AM的关系比与障碍特征的关系更大。对审美人才的选拔和管理具有重要意义。还指出了局限性和未来方向。
