本研究调查是否社会支持调解人格特质和健康之间的关系在非洲裔美国人在五年的时间内，填补了在纵向测试的个性健康协会的文献空白。数据收集自非裔美国人成年人（N = 200）的国家概率样本。人格在时间1（T1）进行评估，社会支持在2.5年后（T2）进行评估，身体功能在T1后5年（T3）进行检查。电话调查包括五因素模型人格特质（T1），社会支持（T2）和身体功能（T3）的措施。结果表明，T1人格特质和T3身体功能之间的关系不介导的T2社会支持。二次分析发现，在所有的T1人格特质，更高的开放性和较低的神经质唯一预测较高的T2社会支持。此外，在T1人格特质中，更高的忠诚度唯一地预测了更好的T3身体功能。这些信息可能有助于医疗保健提供者和社区成员制定非裔美国人的预防和干预策略。
The present study investigates whether social support mediates the relationship between personality traits and health among African Americans over a five-year period, filling a gap in the literature on longitudinal tests of the personality-health association. Data were collected from a national probability sample of African American adults (N = 200). Personality was assessed at Time 1 (T1), social support was assessed 2.5 years later (T2), and physical functioning was examined 5 years (T3) after T1. Telephone surveys included measures of the Five Factor Model personality traits (T1), social support (T2), and physical functioning (T3). Results suggested that relationships between the T1 personality traits and T3 physical functioning were not mediated by T2 social support. Secondary analyses found that among all T1 personality traits, higher openness and lower neuroticism uniquely predicted higher T2 social support. Further, among T1 personality traits, higher conscientiousness uniquely predicted better T3 physical functioning. This information may be useful to healthcare providers and community members in developing prevention and intervention strategies for African Americans.
