本研究在临床样本中检验了尽责性与精神症状之间的关系，尽责性在6个月期间的稳定性以及尽责性分数在解释精神症状变异方面的增量效用。63名抑郁症患者在出院后和6个月的随访中被评估。我们的样本在出院时和6个月随访时的尽责性得分比标准平均值低1个标准差，随着时间的推移，有证据表明其显著的稳定性。然而，在6个月的随访中，在出院时责任心得分高的患者中，责任心得分显著波动。在6个月的随访中，责任心在预测抑郁评分方面具有增量效用，超出了社会支持、生活压力源和一般精神症状的影响。整合的尽责性与当前的抑郁症的概念提出。
This study examined the association between conscientiousness and psychiatric symptomatology in a clinical sample, the stability of conscientiousness over a 6-month period and the incremental utility of conscientiousness scores in accounting for variance in psychiatric symptomatology. Sixty-three depressed patients were assessed following inpatient discharge and at 6-month follow-up. Our sample scored I standard deviation below the normative mean on conscientiousness at discharge and at 6-month follow-up, with evidence of significant stability over time. However, substantial volatility in conscientiousness scores at 6-month follow-up was noted among patients with high conscientiousness scores at discharge. Conscientiousness had incremental utility in predicting depression scores at 6-month follow-up beyond the effects of social support, life stressors, and general psychiatric symptomatology. The integration of conscientiousness with current conceptualizations of depression is presented.
