Abstract

Objective

Recent research suggests that personality traits can be changed by psychological interventions. However, it is unclear whether these intended personality changes can be maintained or merely reflect ephemeral shifts.

Method

The present study reports 1-year follow-up effects of a 3-month digital intervention for personality trait change. Personality traits were measured before the intervention (pretest: N = 1523), directly after the intervention (posttest: n = 554), and 3 months (follow-up 1: n = 437) and 1 year (follow-up 2: n = 157) after the end of the intervention.

Results

Attrition analyses suggest that participants who completed the 1-year follow-up were significantly more open to experience (d = 0.19), less neurotic (d = 0.20), more agreeable (d = 0.35) and more conscientious (d = 0.27) than participants who did not complete the 1-year follow-up. Also, until the 1-year follow-up, personality trait changes achieved remained stable (for those who wanted to increase in extraversion and conscientiousness) or even changed further in the desired direction (for those who wanted to decrease in neuroticism).

Conclusion

These results suggest that changes in personality traits due to a targeted intervention are not just ephemeral shifts and can even continue.

一年后:改变人格特征的数字干预的长期维持效果。
目的:最近的研究表明,心理干预可以改变人格特征。然而,目前尚不清楚这些预期的性格变化是否能够维持,或者仅仅反映出短暂的转变。方法:本研究报告了为期3个月的数字干预对人格特征变化的1年随访效果。在干预前测量人格特征(前测:N = 1523),直接在干预后(后测:n = 554)和3个月(随访1:n = 437)和1年(随访2:n = 157)。结果:损耗分析表明,完成1年随访的参与者明显更愿意体验(d = 0.19),较少神经质(d = 0.20),更令人愉快(d = 0.35)和更认真(d = 0.27)。而且直到1年随访,所实现的人格特征变化保持稳定(对于那些希望增加外向性和责任感的人),甚至朝着期望的方向进一步变化(对于那些想要减少神经质的人)。结论:这些结果表明,由于有针对性的干预而导致的人格特征的变化不仅仅是短暂的变化,甚至可以继续。
