在过去的几十年里，大多数人格心理学研究都集中在通过一些广泛的特质来评估人格，并研究这些分数如何预测各种行为和结果。这种方法并不试图解释人类人格背后的因果机制，因此福尔斯无法解释特质的近源以及个体行为随时间和环境的变化。基于有影响力的过程导向人格理论和模型的共同点，我们描述了一个通用的人格动力学方法（DPA）。DPA在很大程度上依赖于适用于通过反馈机制进行自我调节的复杂适应系统的理论原则，并根据与自我调节不同阶段相关的各种心理功能来解析人格的来源。因此，我们认为人格植根于各种认知、情感动机和意志功能的个体差异，以及它们之间的因果互动。在这篇文章中，我们列出了DPA的20条原则，这些原则可以作为人格科学综合研究的指导方针。(c)2020年，任作家。《欧洲人格杂志》由John Wiley & Sons Ltd代表欧洲人格心理学协会出版
Over the last few decades, most personality psychology research has been focused on assessing personality via scores on a few broad traits and investigating how these scores predict various behaviours and outcomes. This approach does not seek to explain the causal mechanisms underlying human personality and thus falls short of explaining the proximal sources of traits as well as the variation of individuals' behaviour over time and across situations. On the basis of the commonalities shared by influential process-oriented personality theories and models, we describe a generaldynamics of personality approach(DPA). The DPA relies heavily on theoretical principles applicable to complex adaptive systems that self-regulate via feedback mechanisms, and it parses the sources of personality in terms of various psychological functions relevant in different phases of self-regulation. Thus, we consider personality to be rooted in individual differences in various cognitive, emotional-motivational, and volitional functions, as well as their causal interactions. In this article, we lay out 20 tenets for the DPA that may serve as a guideline for integrative research in personality science. (c) 2020 The Authors.
