Abstract

Recent studies further the development of trait-state models for vocational interests. Unlike personality, vocational interest states were found to vary mainly below respective trait levels. This preregistered experience-sampling study (N = 217, N_obs = 5,631) aimed to replicate and explain why the trait-state relation in vocational interests differs from personality. We tested competing assumptions about the conceptualization of interest states. Across two operationalizations using items that were (not) tailored to participants’ daily lives, interest states varied mainly below trait levels. This suggests that the distinct pattern is no measurement artifact, but that interest traits generally constrain the experience of states in daily life. Overall, the results refine the conceptualization of interest states and demonstrate that different psychological constructs meaningfully differ in their trait-state relations.

为什么职业兴趣的特质-状态关系与人格的特质-状态关系不同?探索日常生活中的兴趣变化

最近的研究进一步发展了职业兴趣的特质状态模型。与人格不同，职业兴趣状态主要在各自的特质水平以下变化。这项预先登记的经验抽样研究（N=217，Nobs=5631）旨在复制和解释为什么职业兴趣中的特质-状态关系与个性不同。我们测试了关于兴趣状态概念化的相互竞争的假设。在使用（非）针对参与者日常生活量身定制的项目的两个操作中，兴趣状态的变化主要低于特质水平。这表明，这种独特的模式不是测量的假象，而是兴趣特征通常会限制日常生活中状态的体验。总体而言，研究结果完善了兴趣状态的概念化，并表明不同的心理结构在特质-状态关系上存在显著差异。

期刊介绍： Emphasizing experimental and descriptive research, the Journal of Research in Personality presents articles that examine important issues in the field of personality and in related fields basic to the understanding of personality. The subject matter includes treatments of genetic, physiological, motivational, learning, perceptual, cognitive, and social processes of both normal and abnormal kinds in human and animal subjects. Features: • Papers that present integrated sets of studies that address significant theoretical issues relating to personality. • Theoretical papers and critical reviews of current experimental and methodological interest. • Single, well-designed studies of an innovative nature. • Brief reports, including replication or null result studies of previously reported findings, or a well-designed studies addressing questions of limited scope.
