Personality, as measured by the ‘Big Five’ dimensions of agreeableness, openness, extroversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness, has been explored in the social psychological literature as a predictor of migration but so far has received very little attention in the geographical literature, which is surprising given its predictive importance and also evidence that the selectivity of migration shapes area personality profiles. Using the Understanding Society¹1 Understanding Society, University of Essex, Institute for Social and Economic Research, NatCen Social Research, Kantar Public (2019). Understanding Society: Waves 1–9, 2009–2018 and Harmonised BHPS: Waves 1–18, 1991–2009 [data collection]. 12th Edition. UK Data Service. SN: 6614.
data set, this paper analyses how personality influences whether a respondent moves or not over a 5‐year period and, if they do, how far they move. After controlling for individual sociodemographic characteristics, it is found (a) that those who score higher on conscientiousness and neuroticism are more likely to expect to move in the next year; (b) that only those who score highly on extroversion actually made at least one move during the 5‐year period; (c) that openness is positively associated with making a long‐distance move (≥50 km); and (d) that the pattern for (c) is reversed for short‐distance moves (<10 km). These findings are significant for two reasons. First, they show that personality should be more central in migration studies and that geography can usefully seek disciplinary insights from social psychology. Second, they help us take a step towards a better understanding of the relationships between geography, personality and spatial mobility.

地理，心理学和“五巨头”的人格特质：谁在英国移动，并经过多远？

在社会心理学文献中，人格是通过“五个”维度来衡量人格，开放性，性格外向，神经质和尽责程度来衡量的，而人格是迁移的预测指标，但迄今为止，在地理学文献中却很少受到关注。令人惊讶的是，它具有预测性的重要性，也证明了迁移的选择性会影响区域性格特征。使用理解社会¹1理解社会，埃塞克斯大学，社会经济研究所，NatCen社会研究，Kantar Public（2019年）。理解社会：第1-9浪，2009-2018年；协调的BHPS：第1-18浪，1991-2009年[数据收集]。第12版。英国数据服务。SN：6614。
通过数据集，本文分析了个性如何影响受访者在5年内是否移动以及移动（如果有的话）移动了多远。在控制了个人的社会人口统计学特征之后，发现（a）那些在尽职调查和神经质方面得分较高的人更有可能在明年移居；（b）只有那些在外向性方面得分很高的人在这五年期间实际上至少采取了一次行动；（c）开放性与长距离移动（≥50km）成正相关；（d）（c）的模式在短距离移动（<10 km）时反转。这些发现很重要，原因有两个。首先，他们表明人格在移民研究中应该更加重要，而且地理可以有效地从社会心理学中寻求学科见解。第二，
