![]() PLoS ONE 9(10):Įditor: Jiajin Yuan, Southwest University, China (2014) The Effect of Personality on Daily Life Emotional Processes. Identifying these processes can help us to better understand individual differences in daily emotional life.Ĭitation: Komulainen E, Meskanen K, Lipsanen J, Lahti JM, Jylhä P, Melartin T, et al. Neuroticism was associated with all of the processes. The results show that the personality features independently predict different aspects of daily emotional processes. Openness had no effect on average level of affect, but predicted higher reactivity to daily stressors. ![]() Extraversion predicted higher positive affect and more positive subjective evaluations of daily activities. Agreeableness was associated with higher positive and lower negative affect, lower variability of sadness, and more positive subjective evaluations of daily incidents. Conscientiousness, by contrast, predicted lower average level, variability, and reactivity of negative affect. Neuroticism predicted higher negative and lower positive affect, higher affect variability, more negative subjective evaluations of daily incidents, and higher reactivity to stressors. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze the effect of the personality traits on daily emotional processes. Personality traits of the Five Factor model were assessed using NEO Five Factor Inventory. ![]() The Experience Sampling Method was used to collect repeated reports of daily affect and experiences from 104 healthy university students during one week of their normal lives. ![]() The aim of this study was to shed light on what personality features represent in daily life by investigating the effect of the Five Factor traits on different daily emotional processes using an ecologically valid method. The existing literature is somewhat mixed and inconclusive about the nature of these associations. Personality features are associated with individual differences in daily emotional life, such as negative and positive affectivity, affect variability and affect reactivity. ![]()
