语言使用能反映个性风格吗？研究使用基于单词的计算机化文本分析程序来检查书面语言的可靠性、因素结构和有效性。15名药物滥用住院患者的日常日记，35名学生的日记写作作业，以及40名社会心理学家的期刊摘要在36个语言维度上显示出良好的内部一致性。对838名学生的作文中最佳15个语言维度的分析得出了4个因素，这些因素在另外381名学生的书面样本中重复出现。最后，将写作样本的语言特征与79名学生的主题统觉测试编码、自我报告和行为测量进行比较，并与1,200多名学生的5因素测量和健康指标的自我报告进行比较。尽管影响程度不大，但数据表明，语言风格是探索个性的一种独立而有意义的方式。
Can language use reflect personality style? Studies examined the reliability, factor structure, and validity of written language using a word-based, computerized text analysis program. Daily diaries from 15 substance abuse inpatients, dairy writing assignments from 35 students, and journal abstracts from 40 social psychologists demonstrated good internal consistency for over 36 language dimensions. Analyses of the best 15 language dimensions from essays by 838 students yielded 4 factors that replicated across written samples from another 381 students. Finally, linguistic profiles from writing samples were compared with Thematic Apperception Test coding, self-reports, and behavioral measures from 79 students and with self-reports of a 5-factor measure and health markers from more than 1,200 students. Despite modest effect sizes, the data suggest that linguistic style is an independent and meaningful way of exploring personality.
