本研究提出，在控制人格的五因素模型(FFM)时，目标连续性对老年人的婚姻适应知觉有递增的贡献。使用相关技术的分析，包括分层线性建模，被用来检验我们的假设，对117名最近结婚的老年人进行了测试。最终的模型，包括FFM变量和目标连续性，提供了与数据最好的拟合，其中目标连续性是最大和最重要的预测因素。与之前使用该结构的研究一致，目标连续性是老年人行为和认知的重要预测因子。讨论了在婚姻调适和连续性理论领域开展研究的意义。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study proposes that goal continuity contributes incrementally to older adult perceived marital adjustment when controlling for the five-factor model of personality (FFM). Analyses using correlational techniques, including hierarchical linear modeling, were used to test our hypothesis for a group of 117 currently married older adults. The final model, which included the FFM variables and goal continuity, provided the best fit to the data, with goal continuity being the largest and most significant predictor. Consistent with previous research using the construct, goal continuity served as an important predictor of older adult behavior and perceptions. Implications for conducting research in the areas of marital adjustment and continuity theory are discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
