Personality and Well-Being Trajectories, Health, and Morality

该项目将评估人口平均和个体变化的一般模式。 关于老龄化的主要纵向研究中的不同人格和幸福感结构。LALSA/Halcyon 由40多项纵向研究组成的网络允许一个强大而统一的研究计划，旨在 了解个体内部人格变化的驱动机制。国际一套 纵向研究也允许测试解释机制的跨文化概括性 人格的变化和稳定。我们将模拟人格特征和幸福感维度的变化， 年龄作为时间度量，并检查它们之间的关联。我们还将检查以下模型 基于过程的变化以及人格变量的相关和耦合变化。此外，我们 将使用前述人格、幸福感和风险因素维度的变化参数 (截取、斜率)预测重要结果，特别是健康、疾病和认知结果 生活。个性的改变是否预示着重要的健康和认知终点(例如，心脏事件、发病 痴呆症、死亡率)？最后，我们将对人格特质和幸福感维度的变化进行建模 其他时间指标，如死亡距离，以及标准生命或健康事件，如 开始照料、配偶死亡或诊断患有慢性病。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 大多数关于衰老的主要研究都包含人格测量，但很少有分析得到协调 多项研究。拟议的工作将利用大量的纵向研究来提供 最清晰的人格稳定和变化的图景，以及它与年龄相关的认知变化的关系 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.
