“…Additionally, studies based on behavioral economic theory [3,5,6] have explained that one's decisions comprise both rational and irrational decisions, where irrational decisions are influenced by psychological factors. This is in line with Golsteyn and Schildberg-Hörisch's [7] opinion that "economic preferences and personality traits are related concepts in the sense that both are characteristics of the individual that have been shown to predict individual decisionmaking and life outcomes across a wide variety of domains." Based on the theoretical linkage above, it can be interpreted that personality traits influence a person's preference to add another child or not.…”

Many factors are related to fertility intention, such as personality and social demography. This research examined the effect of personality traits on fertility intention in Indonesia. In this study, fertility intention is defined as the intention to add another child or not by ever-married women aged 15-49-years-old in 2014. This study used the Indonesian Family Life Survey 2014. Using logistic binary regression to estimate the model, the results showed that personality traits have a significant effect on fertility intention. Extraversion and conscientiousness were associated with lower odds of intending to add children, whereas agreeableness and openness were associated with higher odds of intending to add children.

“…In a meta-analysis conducted using longitudinal studies, Roberts et al (2006b) also showed statistically significant mean-level changes in Big Five personality traits in middle (40-60) and old (> 60) age. Personality changes can result from environmental changes in social roles or cultural milieu (Helson et al 2002a;Scollon and Diener 2006) or from life and work experiences (e.g., Roberts et al 2003;Roberts et al 2006a;Mroczek and Spiro 2003;Elkins et al 2017;Anger et al 2017;Golsteyn and Schildberg-Hörisch 2017).…”

Using data from the participants of the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JYLS) at ages 42 and 50 (N = 326), this study provides empirical evidence of the relation between income and mental well-being and of the possible role of personality traits in modifying this relation. The relationships were analyzed using pooled ordinary least squares (OLS; bi-and multivariate settings) and fixed effects estimations (FE; multivariate settings). Positive bivariate associations were found between gross monthly income and the sum score of mental well-being and its separate dimensions (emotional, psychological, and social well-being and the absence of depression) as well as between experienced household finances and the sum score of mental well-being and its separate dimensions (except for social well-being). The multivariate OLS analyses detected positive relationships between gross monthly income and the absence of depression and between experienced household finances and mental well-being, along with one of its dimensions, i.e., emotional well-being. Further, the marginal utility of income appeared to depend on personality traits (FE): agreeableness and extraversion negatively moderated the gross monthly income-emotional well-being relationship, while openness positively moderated this relationship. In addition to emotional well-being, extraversion negatively moderated the relationship between gross monthly income and general mental well-being, and neuroticism negatively moderated the association between gross monthly income and social well-being.

“…One solution is to fully accept the fact that such decisions arise partly from self-reflective activities that are more intense and frequent at critical life stages: adolescence, leaving the family nest, entering the job market, forming a family, 13 "To fall suddenly sick implies having to reinvent everything, to grasp again one's own life, to reassess thoroughly the order of one's relationships, one's work, one's own pleasures", Zaoui (2010, p. 79). Some economic research has examined the stability of risk, time, and social preferences (see Golsteyn and Schildberg-Horisch 2017). We are not aware of studies that would have specifically examined the impact of the onset of a chronic illness on preferences.…”

Concepts and results from the psychological research on identity may provide better understandingof the formation and dynamics of economic preferences. In this perspective, we propose a French translation of the Aspect of Identity (AIQ-IV) psychometric questionnaire, which measures the orientation of subjective identity along personal, relational, public, and collective dimensions (Cheek and Briggs 1982, 2013). The psychometric validation study checks the internal consistency, as well as the four-dimensional factorial structure, of the questionnaire in a representative sample of French young adults (N=1,118). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of item responses reveal a four-factor structure that corresponds to the personal, relational, public, and collective aspects of identity. Individual responses are found to be stable over time. In addition, while being moderately correlated with related psychological constructs (Self-esteem, Social Self-esteem, Self-consciousness), dimensions of the AIQ also predicts risk, time, and social preferences as measured by Likert scales and hypothetical choices.
