“…This pattern of results for the fixed effects of affect on the Big Five personality states is also consistent with results from similar analyses reported by Ching et al (2014). When they included Big Five states as simultaneous predictors of positive affect, they found that extraversion, and, to a lesser extent, agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness tended to covary with positive affect.…”

“…Across five samples, they found that positive affect covaried positively with extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and, to a lesser extent conscientiousness, and covaried negatively with neuroticism. They also found that negative affect covaried positively with neuroticism and covaried negatively with extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness (Ching et al, 2014, Table 4). However, all personality variables were entered simultaneously into one model (with state affect as the dependent variable), making it difficult to draw conclusions about the associations between each personality construct and affect.…”

“…However, our results suggest that state affect may also be an important component of state agreeableness and openness. The association between state openness and state positive affect is consistent with existing theories of state openness and positive affect (Fredrickson, 2001) but has not, to our knowledge, been examined before (c.f., Ching et al, 2014). Likewise, the association between state agreeableness and affect raises interesting possibilities about the underlying causes of prosocial behavior.…”

“…The only exception, to our knowledge, is research by Ching et al (2014) that examined the within-person associations between all Big Five personality traits and affect (among other constructs) across five cultures. Across five samples, they found that positive affect covaried positively with extraversion, agreeableness, openness, and, to a lesser extent conscientiousness, and covaried negatively with neuroticism.…”

“…Both samples in the current study were drawn from the same population of college students, and, ideally, we would like to know whether these findings generalize to people of a different age, socioeconomic status, and culture (though see Ching et al, 2014, for evidence that culture may not be a strong moderator of the association between personality states and affect). In addition to ensuring generalization across populations, it is possible that assessing affect and personality states over an hour did not capture important processes that occur on the timescale of seconds or minutes.…”

People fluctuate in their behavior as they go about their daily lives, but little is known about the processes underlying these fluctuations. In two ecological momentary assessment studies (Ns = 124, 415), we examined the extent to which negative and positive affect accounted for the within-person variance in Big Five states. Participants were prompted six times a day over six days (Study 1) or four times a day over two weeks (Study 2) to report their recent thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Multilevel modeling results indicated that negative and positive affect account for most, but not all, of the within-person variance in personality states. Importantly, situation variables predicted variance in some personality states even after accounting for fluctuations in affect, indicating that fluctuations in personality states may be more than fluctuations in state affect.

The Use of Intensive Longitudinal Methods in Explanatory Personality Research

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Intensive longitudinal methods (ILMs), in which data are gathered from participants multiple times with short intervals (typically 24 hours or less apart), have gained considerable ground in personality research and may be useful in exploring causality in both classic personality trait models and more novel contextualized personality state models. We briefly review the various terms and uses of ILMs in various fields of psychology and present five main strategies that can help researchers infer causality in ILM studies. We discuss the use of temporal precedence to establish causality, through both lagged analyses and natural experiments; the use of external measures and peer reports to go beyond self‐report data; delving deeper into repeated measures to derive new indices; the use of contextual factors occurring during the measurement period; and combining experimental methods and ILMs. These strategies are illustrated by examples from existing research and by new empirical findings from two dyadic daily diary studies (N = 80 and N = 108 couples) and an experience sampling method study of personality states (N = 52). We conclude by offering a short checklist for designing ILM studies with causality in mind and look at the applicability of these strategies in the intersection of personality psychology and other psychological research domains.
