Abstract

This article aims to conceptualize, operationalize, and empirically validate the concept of actual personality development in the aftermath of a Critical Life Event. Two qualitative tools have been elaborated: the Structured Critical Life Events Interview and the Coding System for Personality Development. They were empirically verified in a preliminary longitudinal mixed methods study (N = 40 participants, n = 1440 narratives) with three measurements in one year referring to the Transition Cycle (Hopson & Adams, 1976). For assessing reliability the Intraclass Correlation Co-efficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s α were assessed. The convergent validity of the tools was deter¬mined by correlating the results with (1) linguistic structure of participants’ verbalizations and (2) the questionnaires measuring similar behaviours and features. The research showed good psycho-metric properties of the tools. Moreover, they better identified personality growth and the specific dynamics of personality changes (positive and negative) than the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996).

衡量人生重大事件后的人格发展:初步纵向混合方法研究
本文旨在将 "人生重大事件后的实际人格发展 "这一概念概念化、可操作化,并通过实证验证。我们精心设计了两个定性工具:"关键人生事件结构化访谈 "和 "人格发展编码系统"。在一项初步的纵向混合方法研究(N = 40 名参与者,n = 1440 篇叙述)中,对这两个工具进行了经验验证,并在一年内参照过渡周期(Hopson & Adams,1976 年)进行了三次测量。为了评估可靠性,评估了类内相关系数(ICC)和克朗巴赫α。通过将结果与(1)参与者口头表达的语言结构和(2)测量类似行为和特征的问卷进行关联,确定了工具的收敛效度。研究表明,这些工具具有良好的心理测量特性。此外,与创伤后成长量表(Tedeschi & Calhoun,1996 年)相比,这些工具能更好地识别人格成长和人格变化(积极和消极)的具体动态。
