语言是表达思想感情最直接的手段之一。然而,过去的研究在将词汇使用与人格联系起来方面取得的成功有限。本研究的目的是使用广泛的个性数据来确定与个性相关的词汇使用类别。使用数据从181名参与者,本研究相关的文字使用1小时的生活史采访与自我判断的个性,判断的性格提供的亲密熟人(谁没有接触到的语言样本),和行为评级的基础上直接观察从上下文完全独立的语言样本是来自。几类词语的使用产生了大量的自我和熟人的个性评级和行为的相关性。有人建议,字的使用是有关的性格在更大程度上比以前观察到的,值得更多的关注,作为一个来源的数据在人格评估。
The use of words is one of the most direct means of expressing thoughts and feelings. However, past studies have had limited success in correlating word use with personality. The purpose of the present study was to identify categories of word use relevant to personality using a broad range of personality data. Using data from 181 participants, the present study correlated word use within a 1-hr life history interview with self-judgments of personality, judgments of personality provided by close acquaintances (who were not exposed to the language sample), and behavioral ratings based on direct observation from a context entirely separate from that from which the language sample was derived. Several categories of word use yielded a large number of correlates with self- and acquaintance personality ratings and behavior. It is suggested that word use is related to personality to a larger degree than previously observed and deserves increased attention as a source of data in personality assessment.
