Abstract
Objectives: This longitudinal study tests whether the Big-Five personality traits influence the changes individuals make in self-rated health (SRH) as they adjust their initial level to account for information on concurrent changes in disease burden, activities of daily living (ADLs), and pain. Methods: A bi-variate Latent Growth Curve model was fitted to data to estimate longitudinal associations between SRH and each health measure across up-to-five repeated observations, collected from the year 2006 to 2018 from 13,096 participants in the Health and Retirement Study. Results: Negative longitudinal associations between SRH and all three health reports were significantly stronger for those who are more conscientious. No significant moderation was found for the other four personality traits. Discussion: Compared to the less conscientious, highly conscientious people may assign greater importance to specific health reports when rating and revising their assessments of SRH. This moderating effect was previously tested but not supported.
研究目的这项纵向研究检验了大五人格特质是否会影响个体对自我健康评价(SRH)的变化,因为个体会根据疾病负担、日常生活活动(ADLs)和疼痛的并发变化信息来调整自我健康评价的初始水平。研究方法将双变量潜增长曲线模型拟合到数据中,以估计在多达5次重复观察中SRH与每项健康指标之间的纵向关联,这些数据收集自2006年至2018年的 "健康与退休研究"(Health and Retirement Study)的13096名参与者。结果是自律健康与所有三项健康报告之间的负向纵向关联对于那些更自觉的人来说明显更强。其他四种人格特质没有发现明显的调节作用。讨论:与自觉性较低的人相比,自觉性较高的人在对性健康和生殖健康进行评级和修正时,可能会更重视特定的健康报告。这一调节效应之前已进行过测试,但未得到支持。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aging and Health is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research findings and scholarly exchange in the area of aging and health. Manuscripts are sought that deal with social and behavioral factors related to health and aging. Disciplines represented include the behavioral and social sciences, public health, epidemiology, demography, health services research, nursing, social work, medicine, and related disciplines. Although preference is given to manuscripts presenting the findings of original research, review and methodological pieces will also be considered.
