We used data (N = 928) from ORANJ BOWL, a six-wave panel of adults (aged 50–74 at baseline) to address the association between personality and successful aging at two points in time, 8 years apart. Regressions examined the associations between Wave 2 neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness and Wave 3 subjective success, functional ability, pain, and chronic conditions. Models tested personality traits independently and then simultaneously, with interactions. Confirmatory analyses used Waves 5/6 data. All traits but openness were individually associated with successful aging at both time points. When testing traits simultaneously, only neuroticism and extraversion were consistently associated with subjective success, with an interaction at Waves 2/3. Neuroticism (Waves 2/3) and conscientiousness (Waves 5/6) were associated with functional ability. Neuroticism was associated with pain (Waves 2/3). Personality was not associated with chronic conditions. These analyses set up future work examining relationships between change in personality and change in successful aging.

我们使用了数据（N= 928）来自 ORANJ BOWL，这是一个由成年人（基线年龄为 50-74 岁）组成的六波小组，旨在解决人格与成功衰老之间的两个时间点之间的关联，相隔 8 年。回归检验了第 2 波神经质、外向性、开放性、宜人性和尽责性与第 3 波主观成功、功能能力、疼痛和慢性病之间的关联。模型独立测试人格特质，然后通过交互同时测试。验证性分析使用了 Waves 5/6 数据。除了开放性外，所有特征都与两个时间点的成功老化相关。当同时测试特征时，只有神经质和外向性始终与主观成功相关，并且在第 2/3 波有交互作用。神经质（第 2/3 波）和尽责性（第 5/6 波）与功能能力相关。神经质与疼痛有关（第 2/3 波）。个性与慢性病无关。这些分析建立了未来的工作，研究人格变化与成功老龄化之间的关系。
