Abstract

Objective: Personal values and personality traits are both important aspects of personality, but much is still unknown about the fundamental differences between the constructs, including how their patterns of temporal stability compare. This paper investigated patterns of intra-individual stability in both values and traits.

Method: Quantile correlations were estimated between each of the 20 refined personal values and the same values 2 years later in a large longitudinal sample of Australian adults (N = 2875). The same was done for each of the 15 Five-Factor Model trait facets in a subsample of these participants (n = 2424).

Results: It was observed that more important values tended to remain more stable over time, while traits retained a similar stability regardless of trait strength, and frequently showed small decreases in stability at extreme levels.

Conclusions: Findings indicate that highly prioritized values may be a more central aspect of the self, and a more reliable element for predicting future outcomes, than less highly prioritized values, but in contrast, traits do not function in a way that is dependent on trait strength.

个人价值观和人格特质在性质上的根本差异通过其分布的不同稳定模式得以揭示。
目的:个人价值观和人格特质都是人格的重要方面,但人们对这两个概念之间的基本差异,包括它们在时间上的稳定性如何比较,仍有很多不了解之处。本文研究了价值观和特质的个体内部稳定性模式:方法:在一个大型澳大利亚成年人纵向样本(N = 2875)中,分别估算了 20 种经过提炼的个人价值观与 2 年后相同价值观之间的量纲相关性。在这些参与者的一个子样本(n = 2424)中,对 15 个五因素模型特质面中的每一个进行了同样的估算:结果:观察发现,随着时间的推移,更重要的价值观往往会保持更稳定的状态,而特质则无论特质强度如何,都会保持类似的稳定性,在极端水平上,稳定性经常会出现小幅下降:研究结果表明,与优先级较低的价值观相比,优先级较高的价值观可能是自我的一个更核心的方面,也是预测未来结果的一个更可靠的因素。
