本研究旨在探讨人格特质对一个特定的生活转型--社区搬迁--适应的影响。参与者是285名女性（平均年龄= 69.5），她们在搬家前接受了一次采访，然后在搬家后接受了多次采访。在这种多波设计的背景下，人格特质被用来预测抑郁症状（DS）和自尊（SE）的变化。神经质和经验的开放性预测DS随着时间的推移而增加，而外向性和开放性预测SE的增加。对动作的压力反应和对动作的掌握感部分地介导了这些影响。该研究记录了人格对调整的积极和消极方面的动态影响，并调查了这种影响发生的不同途径。
This study investigates the influence of personality on adjustment to a particular life transition, community relocation. Participants were 285 women (average age = 69.5) who were interviewed once before they moved, and then multiple times after the move. Within the context of this multiwave design, personality traits were used to predict changes in depressive symptoms (DS) and self-esteem (SE) across the move. Neuroticism and Openness to Experience predicted increases in DS over time, whereas Extraversion and Openness predicted increases in SE. Stressful reactions to the move and sense of mastery about the move partially mediated these effects. The study documents the dynamic influence of personality on positive and negative aspects of adjustment and investigates differing routes through which such effects occur.
