Repeated assessments of personality states in daily diary or experience sampling studies have become a more and more common tool in the psychologist's toolbox. However, and contrary to the widely available literature on personality traits, no best practices for the development of personality state measures exist, and personality state measures have been developed in many different ways. To address this, we first define what a personality state is and discuss important components. On the basis of this, we define what a personality state measure is and suggest a general guideline for the development of such measures. Following the ABC of test construction can then guide the strategy for obtaining validity and reliability evidence: (A) What is the construct being measured? (B) What is the intended purpose of the measure? And (C) What is the targeted population of persons and situations? We then conclude with an example by developing an initial item pool for the assessment of conscientiousness personality states. © 2020 The Authors.

评估人格状态：构建人格状态度量时应考虑的事项

在日常日记或经验抽样研究中对人格状态的重复评估已成为心理学家工具箱中越来越普遍的工具。但是，与广泛获得的关于人格特征的文献相反，不存在用于发展人格状态量度的最佳实践，并且已经以许多不同方式开发了人格状态量度。为了解决这个问题，我们首先定义一个人格状态并讨论重要的组成部分。在此基础上，我们定义了什么是人格状态测度，并提出了发展此类测度的一般指导。遵循测试构建的ABC即可指导获得有效性和​​可靠性证据的策略：（A）被测结构是什么？（B）该措施的预期目的是什么？（C）目标人群和情况是什么？然后，我们通过开发一个初始项目库来评估尽职者人格状态来举例说明。©2020作者。John Wiley＆Sons Ltd代表欧洲人格心理学协会出版的《欧洲人格杂志》
