这项预先登记的元分析(k=113，总计n=93668)探讨了人格的五大维度(外向性、宜人性、尽职尽责、神经质和开放性)与孤独感的关系。考虑到效应大小的依赖性，稳健方差估计被用来计算孤独感和个性之间的元分析双变量相关。外向性(r=-.370)、宜人性(r=-.243)、严谨性(r=-.202)、开放性(r=-.107)与孤独感呈负相关。神经质(r=.358)与孤独感呈正相关。这些联系在强度上有意义地不同，这取决于孤独的评估方式。此外，元分析结构方程模型被用来调查每个人格特质与孤独感之间的独特联系，同时控制其他四个人格特质。在控制其他人格特质的情况下，除开放性外的所有人格特质在统计上都与孤独感显著相关。研究结果表明，稳定人格因素对解释孤独感的个体差异具有重要意义。(C)2020年欧洲人格心理学协会
This preregistered meta-analysis (k = 113, total n = 93 668) addressed how the Big Five dimensions of personality (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness) are related to loneliness. Robust variance estimation accounting for the dependency of effect sizes was used to compute meta-analytic bivariate correlations between loneliness and personality. Extraversion (r = -.370), agreeableness (r = -.243), conscientiousness (r = -.202), and openness (r = -.107) were negatively related to loneliness. Neuroticism (r = .358) was positively related to loneliness. These associations differed meaningfully in strength depending on how loneliness was assessed. Additionally, meta-analytic structural equation modelling was used to investigate the unique association between each personality trait and loneliness while controlling for the other four personality traits. All personality traits except openness remained statistically significantly associated with loneliness when controlling for the other personality traits. Our results show the importance of stable personality factors in explaining individual differences in loneliness. (c) 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology
