Abstract

Personality coherence is an individual difference capturing the extent to which a person’s psychological characteristics are coordinated, unified, and integrated. The present research addressed the extent to which coherence indicators inter-correlate and predict relevant outcomes over and above the effects of the Big Five among midlife adults (N = 446). Coherence indicators loaded onto four components: actor coherence, which captured the extent to which people were consistent in their interpersonal values, traits, and behavior; agent coherence, which captured the extent to which people’s goals were coordinated and need-congruent; author coherence, which captured the extent to which people’s self-defining stories were well composed and theme laden; and controlled coherence, which captured the extent to which people experienced their goals as pressured or compelled and as leading them to need-detracting futures. Although actor coherence correlated with both agent and author coherence, agent and author coherence were not correlated. Nevertheless, the actor-, agent-, and author-coherence composites each predicted at least one of the outcome variables (i.e., well-being, autonomy, and ego development) over and above the Big Five. The present findings suggest that the coherence of personality constitutes an individual difference domain of consequence beyond the established content dimensions of personality.

行动、代理和作者人格一致性的组成部分和相关关系
人格一致性是一种个体差异,体现了一个人的心理特征协调、统一和整合的程度。本研究探讨了一致性指标在中年成年人中相互关联的程度,并预测了超过五大因素影响的相关结果(N = 446)。一致性指标包含四个组成部分:行动者一致性,捕捉人们在人际价值观、特征和行为上的一致性程度;主体一致性,捕捉人们的目标协调和需求一致的程度;作者的连贯性,它捕捉了人们自我定义的故事在多大程度上被很好地组成和承载了主题;控制一致性,它捕捉到人们在多大程度上感受到他们的目标是有压力的或被强迫的,并导致他们走向需求减值的未来。行为人连贯与行为人连贯和作者连贯均相关,但行为人连贯和作者连贯不相关。尽管如此,行为者、行为者和作者一致性复合模型都预测了至少一个结果变量(即幸福感、自主性和自我发展)。本研究结果表明,人格的连贯性构成了一个超越既定人格内容维度的个体差异后果域。
