Abstract

Personality traits are a significant predictor of cross-cultural adjustment. However, researchers have yet to establish this relationship among religious missionaries. This study used a cross-sectional design to explore whether personality traits are part of the repertoire of abilities religious missionaries need to enhance psychological well-being when adjusting to a new cultural context. A sample of 221 religious missionaries completed a standardized study in the Cubao Diocese in the Philippines. The study used a bootstrap corrected and accelerated regression to determine the moderating effect of personality traits on cross-cultural adjustment and psychological well-being. As predicted, the personality traits (HEXACO) have positive and negative moderation effects. Results showed the positive moderation effect of emotionality and the negative moderation effects of honesty-humility, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience between cross-cultural adjustment and psychological well-being at a 5% significance level.

人格特质是跨文化适应和心理健康的调节变量

人格特质是跨文化适应的重要预测因素。然而，研究人员尚未在宗教传教士中建立这种关系。本研究采用横断面设计，探讨在适应新的文化背景时，人格特质是否是宗教传教士提高心理健康所需能力的一部分。221 名宗教传教士在菲律宾库保教区完成了一项标准化研究。研究采用了自举校正加速回归法来确定人格特质对跨文化适应和心理健康的调节作用。正如预测的那样，人格特质（HEXACO）具有正负调节作用。结果显示，在 5%的显著性水平下，情感性在跨文化适应和心理健康之间具有正向调节作用，而诚实-谦逊、外向性、宜人性、自觉性和经验开放性具有负向调节作用。

期刊介绍： Pastoral Psychology, founded in 1950, is one of the most well-established and respected journals in the field of psychology and religion/spirituality. Pastoral Psychology is an international forum that publishes scholarly, peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical, human science, and interfaith perspectives. Historically, the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals, families, and communities. Today, we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to embodiment, the social-political, economic, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of life. All theoretical perspectives are welcome, as Pastoral Psychology regularly publishes articles from a variety of schools of thought, including, but not limited to, psychoanalytic and other dynamic psychologies, cognitive psychologies, experimental and empirical psychologies, humanistic psychology, transpersonal psychology, and cultural psychology. Insights from existential perspectives, intersectional theories, philosophical and theological theories, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, public mental health, and cultural and empirical studies are welcome. Theoretical contributions that have direct or indirect relevance for practice, broadly construed, are especially desirable, as our intended audience includes not only academics and scholars in religion and science, but also religious and spiritual leaders, as well as caregivers, chaplains, social workers, counselors/therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and persons interested in matters of religion/spirituality and psychology. Pastoral Psychology welcomes scholarship and reflection from all religious and spiritual traditions. In addition to scholarly research papers, the journal welcomes thoughtful essays on a wide range of issues and various genres of writing, including book reviews and film reviews. The community of scholars represented in its pages has demonstrated that the life challenges the journal seeks to address are universally shared, yet also reflect individual social, cultural, and religious locations. The journal, therefore, welcomes submissions from scholars from around the world.
