The study aims to broaden the knowledge of the relationship between personality and generativity. The study tests personality predictors of generativity on the basis of longitudinal data and includes not only personality traits but also self-concept variables while examining five of the seven components of generativity within the McAdams and de St. Aubin model. The sample consists of 150 participants from two longitudinal studies (63 men, 87 women; mean age 54.82). Generativity (concern, belief in the species, commitment, action, and narration measured by different methods) was assessed in the last wave of the study, personality traits (measured by NEO-FFI), and self-concept variables (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Self-Concept Clarity Scale) were assessed in previous two stages of the study (at the age of 50 and 40 of the participants). Regression analysis was used to identify unique relationships between variables. From the longitudinal point of view, extraversion is the main predictive factor of later generativity, and openness to experience also contributes to the prediction of generativity. Self-concept variables are not as strong predictors of generativity as personality traits. The only association between variables of self-concept and generativity was found between self-concept clarity and belief in the species.

中年生殖能力的人格预测因素：一项纵向研究

该研究旨在拓宽人格与世代之间关系的知识。该研究在纵向数据的基础上测试了生殖能力的个性预测因子，并且在检查McAdams和de St. Aubin模型内的生殖能力的七个组成部分中的五个时，不仅包括人格特征，还包括自我概念变量。该样本包括来自两项纵向研究的150名参与者（63名男性，87名女性；平均年龄54.82）。在研究的最后一波中评估了成年性（对物种的关注，对物种的信念，承诺，行动和叙述），人格特质（由NEO-FFI测量）和自我概念变量（Rosenberg Self-Esteem）量表，广义自我效能感量表，在研究的前两个阶段（参加者分别为50岁和40岁）评估了“自我概念清晰度量表”。回归分析用于识别变量之间的唯一关系。从纵向的角度来看，外向性是以后世代的主要预测因素，而开放的经验也有助于世代的预测。自我概念变量不像人格特质那样强烈地预测生殖能力。在自我概念的清晰度和对物种的信仰之间，发现了自我概念和生殖能力之间的唯一关联。开放的经验也有助于预测世代。自我概念变量不像人格特质那样强烈地预测生殖能力。在自我概念的清晰度和对物种的信仰之间，发现了自我概念和生殖能力之间的唯一关联。开放的经验也有助于预测世代。自我概念变量不像人格特质那样强烈地预测生殖能力。在自我概念的清晰度和对物种的信仰之间，发现了自我概念和生殖能力之间的唯一关联。
