这项研究的主要假设是，完美主义作为一种人格特质，沿着五因素人格特质和性格乐观，与晚年的死亡率密切相关。在对健康和个性特征作为死亡率预测因素进行基线评估后，对450名参与者进行了为期6.5年的随访。与我们的假设一致，研究结果表明，与基线时的低得分者相比，完美主义和神经质高分者的死亡风险显着更大。相反，在积极性、外向性和乐观性方面得分高的人死亡风险显著降低。对健康和长寿的影响进行了讨论。
The major hypothesis of the study was that perfectionism as a personality trait, along with the five-factor personality traits and dispositional optimism, is strongly associated with mortality in late life. After baseline assessment of health and personality traits as predictors of mortality, 450 participants were followed over a period of 6.5 years. Consistent with our hypotheses, findings demonstrated that risk of death was significantly greater for high scorers in perfectionism and neuroticism, compared to low scorers at the time of base line. Conversely, risk of death was significantly lower for high scorers in conscientiousness, extraversion and optimism. Implications for health and longevity are discussed.
