本研究旨在探讨成人自发自我表征中的能动性和共融性。研究样本包括158名成年人（80名男性，78名女性），年龄从20岁到88岁不等。与理论一致，显着的年龄和性别差异被发现在机构和共融属性的数量。年轻人和中年人在自我表征中包含的代理属性明显多于老年人;男性列出的代理属性明显多于女性。相比之下，老年人在自我表征中比年轻人包含更多的共融属性，女性比男性列出更多的共融属性。显着的年龄组x自画像显示和性别x自画像显示交互发现的共融属性，表明不同年龄组和性别的共融属性的重要性不同。相关分析表明，机构和交流属性与人格特质和防御机制显着协会。共融属性与心理幸福感的四个维度也存在显著相关。
This study investigated agency and communion attributes in adults' spontaneous self-representations. The study sample consisted of 158 adults (80 men, 78 women) ranging in age from 20 to 88 years. Consistent with theorising, significant age and sex differences were found in terms of the number of agency and communion attributes. Young and middle-aged adults included significantly more agency attributes in their self-representations than older adults; men listed significantly more agency attributes than women. In contrast, older adults included significantly more communion attributes in their self-representations than young adults, and women listed significantly more communion attributes than men. Significant Age Group x Self-Portrait Display and Sex x Self-Portrait Display interactions were found for communion attributes, indicating that the importance of communion attributes differed across age groups and by sex. Correlational analyses showed significant associations of agency and communion attributes with personality traits and defence mechanisms. Communion attributes also showed significant correlations with four dimensions of psychological well-being.
