3、orders (e.g., Biederman et al., 1993).具有明顯害羞和對新穎或挑戰(zhàn)性狀況感到恐懼和退縮傾向上，人們在行為抑制上顯示了明顯的差異。從心理病理學(xué)的觀點來看，行為抑制和臨床焦慮癥狀是高度相關(guān)的。 One interesting question that has been addressed in several previous studies is how behavioral inhibition and anxiety disorders relate to personality (Kotov, Gamez, Schmidt, & Watson,

4、 2011; Muris et al., 2009). 先前研究一直討論的問題是行為抑制和焦慮癥是如何和人格相關(guān)的。 In the present study, we apply a novel view in this research area, namely, that the General Factor of Personality (GFP) may play a role in the relationship of personality on the one hand and behavioral inhibition and anxiety on the other han

5、d. 在當(dāng)前的研究中，我們應(yīng)用了一個新穎的觀點，即人格的一般因素（GFP）可能在人格方面和行為抑制、焦慮方面的關(guān)系發(fā)揮了作用 One interesting question that has been addressed in several previous studies is how behavioral inhibition and anxiety disorders relate to personality (Kotov, Gamez, Schmidt, & Watson, 2011; Muris et al., 2009). 先前研究一直討論的問題是行為抑制和焦慮癥是如

6、何和人格相關(guān)的。 Regarding the Big Five, large meta-analytic studies have shown that they indeed consistently share proportions of variance leading to emergence of a general factor (Rushton & Irwing, 2011; Van der Linden, Te Nijenhuis, et al., 2010). 關(guān)于大五人格特質(zhì)理論，大量的元分析研究顯示，他們確實一直分享變化的比例，導(dǎo)致了一般因素的出現(xiàn)。一般人格因素

7、是什么？像Spearman提出的一般智力一樣（一般智力因素能夠解釋智力測驗變異的40%-50%），GFP則代表人格的一般水平。從人格量表中提取出一個穩(wěn)定的、對于人格變異有高解釋率的單一最高因素, 是證明一般人格因素存在的必要條件。如從大五人格量表中提取單一高階因素來說明 GFP 存在。第一個從數(shù)據(jù)上為人格一般因素存在提供證據(jù)的研究者是 Musek。 Musek (2007)采用了基于大五人格理論編制的 3 種量表(即大五問卷(BFI), 國際人格項目庫 300 題 (IPIP 300)和大五觀察員(BFO), 測量了斯洛文尼亞的 3 個樣本(樣本量分別為 301, 185, 285; 前兩個為

8、成人樣本, 最后一個為青少年樣本)。他對收集的數(shù)據(jù)采用主成分分析(Principal Components Analysis)方法, 從不同層面(題目(item), 大五人格分量表提取單一的最高因子。比較同一樣本不同方法提取的結(jié)果, 發(fā)現(xiàn)從題目和分量表層面提取的單一最高因子之間不具有顯著的差異。采用從分量表層面提取的方法, 3個樣本數(shù)據(jù)提取的 GFP對各自人格問卷分量表分?jǐn)?shù)變異的解釋率分別為 50.20%、40.18%和 44.84%。除了直接提取單一最高因素的方法外, Musek還使用逐層高階因素分析(stepwise higher-order factor analyses)對 3 組數(shù)據(jù)

9、進(jìn)行了分析, 所有 3 個樣本中都能夠獲得 2 個二階因子(Big Two), 二階因子之間都存在著顯著相關(guān), 與 Digman (1997)的相關(guān)研究結(jié)果一致。Musek 發(fā)現(xiàn)“大一” (Big One)能夠解釋逐層高階因素分析模型中方差來源的60%。進(jìn)一步分析與檢驗表明, 逐層高階因素分析和前述直接提取的最高單一因素具有高度的一致性。即大一因素不受統(tǒng)計方法、樣本和測驗工具的影響。他還發(fā)現(xiàn)了這一因素與社會贊許性、情緒、動機(jī)、幸福感、生活滿意度、自尊等變量有正相關(guān)關(guān)系。由此 Musek 提出一般人格因素(general factor of personality)是最一般的非認(rèn)知人格因素的推斷

10、。一般人格因素被證明與社會適應(yīng)性指標(biāo)相關(guān)。 行為遺傳學(xué)角度的研究Rushton, Bons 和 Hur (2008)認(rèn)為人格和認(rèn)知能力一樣受到單向選擇(unidirectional selection)的影響(他們提出人類社會是朝著更加合作和更少爭斗的方向發(fā)展), 在這樣的進(jìn)化機(jī)制中, GFP分?jǐn)?shù)更高的個體具有適應(yīng)優(yōu)勢, 因此GFP是人格進(jìn)化的核心。 the GFP may reflect a dimension of social effectiveness or participation (e.g., Loehlin, 2011)。 low GFP scores are expected

11、 to be associated with lowered mental health and a range of psychological disorders that may hinder social effectiveness (Rushton & Irwing,2011). GFP可能反映了社會功能或參與的一個維度。 低的GFP分?jǐn)?shù)被認(rèn)為是和心理不健康及一系列的心理障礙相關(guān)的，可能阻礙社會功能。we report two studies that tested whether the GFP is related to behavioral inhibition and

12、 anxiety disorders in children in the range from 9 to 13 years. An important contribution of the present studies is that they contain child as well as parent ratings, thus, testing a specific prediction about the GFP-behavioral inhibition/anxiety relations using multi-informant data (i.e., child and

13、 parent ratings). 我們報導(dǎo)了兩個研究來測驗9-13歲兒童的GFP是否和行為抑制、焦慮癥相關(guān)。本研究的一個重要貢獻(xiàn)是他們包含了兒童和父母評級，因此，使用多種調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)對GFP與行為抑制、焦慮癥進(jìn)行特定的預(yù)測。2、研究一 研究一考察了填寫自我報告的大五人格測量的非臨床小學(xué)生。另外，父母使用同樣的問卷提供了他們孩子的人格評級。首先我們期望兒童和父母評級，一個清晰的GFP能被確定，來自兩種評級類型的GFPs顯示了大量的重疊，指出GFP超越了人格的自我報告。在研究一中，對兒童行為抑制和焦慮癥的自我和父母評級也是能夠獲得的。我們期望人格評級和行為抑制、焦慮癥之間顯著的交互關(guān)系。2、1方法

14、2.1.1. 被試和程序 被試：來自荷蘭小學(xué)337名父母參加， 250 位父母做出了積極反應(yīng) (66%) ，而且填寫了他們兒童人格的問卷，行為抑制和焦慮癥狀。他們的孩子將在課堂長填寫兒童版本的問卷。由于數(shù)據(jù)的丟失，最終獲得226對數(shù)據(jù)。兒童的平均年齡為10.54 years (SD = 1.05, range 912 years). 超過85%為本土荷蘭后裔。2、2工具（1） the Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-C）（2） Behavioral inhibition (child-rated)（3 ）The revised Screen f

16、化。 The parent ratings of their childs personality also contained a clear GFP, explaining 44.8% of the Big Five variance。 父母等級的兒童人格包含的一般人格因素可以解釋44.8%大五人格變化。The GFPs from the child- and parent ratings were positively and significantly correlated 兒童和父母等級在一般人格因素顯著的相關(guān)。 2.3.2.

Therefore, we considered it useful to also examine whether the

18、GFP plays a role in distinguishing children with a clinical diagnosis of an anxiety disorder from non-clinical children, which was the aim of Study 2. 盡管研究一提供了我們需要的信息，但是有一個不足之處就是，該樣本只包括了非臨床兒童。所以，在研究2，我們想考察一下GFP在診斷臨床焦慮癥兒童的有效性 3、1被試信息和程序 A non-clinical control group and a group of children with clinic
