尽管之前的研究已经探讨了人格与抑郁症状之间的关联，但有限的研究评估了遗传和环境影响在多大程度上解释了这种关联。这项研究调查了 131 对成年早期的双胞胎和兄弟姐妹以及 326 对成年中期的双胞胎女性的气质和性格与抑郁症状的关系。结果表明，遗传影响在这些人格特征与抑郁症状之间的关联中占中等至显着比例，强调了遗传影响的作用。非共享的环境影响对性格与抑郁症状之间的关联做出了重要贡献，特别是在中年双胞胎女性的样本中。这些发现表明，成年后独特的社会经历和与伴侣的关系可能在性格与抑郁症状之间的关联中发挥重要作用。 © 2009 Wiley periodicals, Inc.

Although previous research has explored associations between personality and depressive symptoms, a limited number of studies have assessed the extent to which genetic and environmental influences explain the association. This study investigated how temperament and character were associated with depressive symptoms in 131 pairs of twin and sibling women in early adulthood, as well as 326 pairs of twin women in middle adulthood. Results indicated that genetic influences accounted for a moderate to substantial percentage of the association between these personality features and depressive symptoms, emphasizing the role of genetic influences. Nonshared environmental influences made important contributions to the association between character and depressive symptoms, particularly in the sample of middle‐aged twin women. These findings suggest that unique social experiences and relationships with a partner in adulthood may play an important role in these associations between character and depressive symptoms. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
