Abstract

Common reductionist contractions in thinking or writing about personality and individual differences are to conflate personality, dispositional traits, the Big Five, and self-reports. To avoid conceptual confusions and communicate more effectively, we should bear in mind: (a) Personality is much more than dispositional traits or basic tendencies, (b) basic tendencies are more than just Big Five traits, and (c) self-reports of traits—which capture explicit self-concepts—are just one out of many approaches to trait measurement. These distinctions should be reflected in our thinking, writing, and communication. Attending to them can help clarify what has been studied and (re-)contextualize our knowledge bases. Personality psychology is a science, and scientific language must be accurate, precise, and nuanced.

人格不仅仅是自我报告的五大特征
在思考或撰写有关人格和个体差异的文章时,常见的还原论缩略词是将人格、处置特质、大五特征和自我报告混为一谈。为了避免概念混淆并更有效地沟通,我们应该牢记:(a)人格远不止是处置特质或基本倾向;(b)基本倾向不仅仅是大五特质;以及(c)特质的自我报告--它捕捉了明确的自我概念--只是特质测量众多方法中的一种。这些区别应该反映在我们的思考、写作和交流中。关注这些区别有助于澄清研究内容,并(重新)构建我们的知识基础。人格心理学是一门科学,科学语言必须准确、精确、细致入微。
