我们从横向和纵向两个方面考察了情绪性和外向性人格特征与症状报告之间的关系。样本包括1,034名男性，他们最初进行了健康状况筛查，他们在平均17年的时间(范围=2-25)内完成了16PF和至少两个CMI(M=5，范围2-8)。使用两阶段增长模型，我们获得了每个男性自我报告的身体和心理症状的预测基线和斜率。相关分析表明，情绪性与基线时报告的生理和心理症状的数量呈正相关，而外向性与之负相关。然而，包括年龄和两个人格变量在内的回归分析表明，只有情绪性与症状报告水平有关。纵向分析表明，情绪性与躯体症状斜率无关，与心理斜率相关性较弱。我们对这些结果的解释是，尽管个性和症状报告是跨部门相关的，但个性并不能预测症状报告的变化。
We investigated the relationship between the personality traits of emotionality and extraversion and symptomreporting, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. The sample consisted of 1,034 men, initially screened for good health, who completed both the 16PF and at least two CMIs, (M = 5, range — 2–8) over an average period of 17 years (range = 2–25). Using a two-stage growth model, we obtained a predicted baseline and slope for each man for self-reported physical and psychological symptoms. Correlations revealed that emotionality was positively related to the numbers of both physical and psychological symptoms reported at baseline, while extroversion was negatively related. However, regression analyses including age and both personality variables indicated that only emotionality was associated with level of symptom-reporting. Longitudinal analyses revealed that emotionality was unrelated to physical symptom slopes and only weakly related to psychological slopes. We interpret these results as showing that, while personality and symptom-reporting are related cross-sectionally, personality does not predict changes in symptom reporting
