Abstract

Background and objectives: This study aimed to critically examine current knowledge on the role of personality in successful aging, considering Hooker and McAdams' 3-level, 6-foci model of personality. The aim was also to pinpoint knowledge gaps that research should address in the future.

Research design and methods: We carried out a scoping review of the literature on successful aging and personality, following the 5-step framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley and further expanded by Levac et al.

Results: Research into the role of personality in successful aging has grown significantly over the last 20 years. However, the increasing number of publications on the topic was primarily accounted for by studies focused on Layer 1 and particularly Layer 2 of McAdams' model of personality, with Layer 3 being scarcely addressed. Research that included more than 1 layer of personality was rare.

Discussion and implications: Our study pinpointed gaps that should be considered in future research in this area. These gaps were related to advancing toward agreed-upon definitions of successful aging and personality, broadening the scope of research on this topic, and integrating personality dimensions on research on successful aging.

人格在成功老龄化中的作用：范围综述。

背景和目的：本研究旨在结合麦克亚当斯（Hooker & McAdams, 2003; McAdams, 2015）的三层次六焦点人格模型，批判性地审视当前关于人格在成功老龄化中的作用的知识。研究设计与方法：我们按照 Arksey 和 O'Malley（2005 年）提出、并由 Levac 等人（2010 年）进一步扩展的五步框架，对有关成功老龄化和人格的文献进行了范围界定：结果：在过去 20 年里，有关人格在成功老龄化中的作用的研究有了显著增长。然而，有关这一主题的论文数量不断增加，主要是针对麦克亚当斯人格模型第一层，特别是第二层的研究，而第三层的研究则很少。包括一个以上人格层的研究也很少见：我们的研究指出了该领域未来研究应考虑的不足之处。这些不足之处涉及到对成功老龄化和人格的定义达成共识、扩大该主题的研究范围以及将人格维度纳入成功老龄化研究。

期刊介绍： The Gerontologist, published since 1961, is a bimonthly journal of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging by publishing research and analysis on applied social issues. It informs the broad community of disciplines and professions involved in understanding the aging process and providing care to older people. Articles should include a conceptual framework and testable hypotheses. Implications for policy or practice should be highlighted. The Gerontologist publishes quantitative and qualitative research and encourages manuscript submissions of various types including: research articles, intervention research, review articles, measurement articles, forums, and brief reports. Book and media reviews, International Spotlights, and award-winning lectures are commissioned by the editors.
