Personality and Well-Being Trajectories, Health, and Morality

该项目将评估人口平均数和个体变化的一般模式， 不同的人格和幸福结构在老龄化的主要纵向研究。LALSA/HALCyon 40多个纵向研究网络允许一个强大而统一的研究计划，旨在 了解驱动个性内在变化的机制。国际一套 纵向研究也允许测试跨文化的普遍性的机制解释 性格的变化和稳定性。我们将在人格特征和幸福感方面建立模型， 年龄作为时间度量，并检查它们之间的关联。我们还将研究模型， 基于过程的变化以及个性变量的相关和耦合变化。另外我们 将使用上述变化参数的个性，福祉和风险因素的尺寸 （截距、斜率）预测重要结果，特别是健康、疾病和认知结果。 生活性格变化是否能预测重要的健康和认知终点（例如，心脏事件，发作 痴呆症、死亡率）？最后，我们将使用以下模型来模拟人格特质和幸福感维度的变化： 替代的时间度量，例如到死亡的距离，以及到正常生命或健康事件的距离，例如 开始生育、配偶死亡或诊断为慢性病。 相关性（参见说明）： 大多数关于衰老的主要研究都包含人格测量，但很少有跨学科的分析。 多项研究。拟议的工作将利用大量的纵向研究， 最清晰的人格稳定和变化的图片，以及它如何与认知中与年龄相关的变化有关 和健康结果。

This project will evaluate general patterns of population average and individual variation in change across distinct personality and well-being constructs in major longitudinal studies on aging. The lALSA/HALCyon network of over 40 longitudinal studies permits a strong and unified program of research designed to understand the mechanisms driving intraindividual changes in personality. The international set of longitudinal studies also permits tests ofthe cross-cultural generalizability ofthe mechanisms explaining personality change and stability. We will model change In personality traits and well-being dimensions, with age as the temporal metric, and examine their association to one another. We will also examine models for process-based change as well as correlated and coupled change In personality variables. Additionally, we will use the aforementioned change parameters for personality, well-being and risk-factor dimensions (Intercepts, slopes) to predict important outcomes, especially health, disease and cognitive outcomes In later life. Does change In personality predict important health and cognitive endpoints (e.g., cardiac events, onset of dementia, mortality)? Finally, we will model change in personality trait and well-being dimensions using alternative temporal metrics, such as distance to death, and to normative life or health events such as initiation of caregiving, death of spouse or diagnosis of chronic disease. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Most major studies of aging contain personality measures, but rarely have analyses been coordinated across multiple studies. The proposed work will leverage a large number of longitudinal studies to provide the clearest picture of personality stability and change, and how it relates to aging-related changes In cognition and health outcomes.
