Few investigations have directly compared personality and internalizing symptoms stability within the same sample and have not included personality facets. This study examined rank-order stability and mean-level change of Big Five domains, facets of neuroticism and extraversion, and internalizing symptoms in a sample of 550 adolescent females. Personality and symptoms were assessed every nine months for three years. Three year rank-order stability was higher for personality domains and facets compared to symptoms. Notable exceptions included lower stability of depressivity and positive emotionality facets. Facets and symptoms showed similar mean level change. Overall, we observed modest and variable temporal differences between symptoms and traits; symptoms exhibited high rank-order stability and low mean-level change, but domains and facets were generally more stable.

很少有调查直接比较同一样本中的人格和内化症状的稳定性，并且没有包括人格方面。这项研究检查了 550 名青春期女性样本中大五领域、神经质和外向性以及内化症状的排序稳定性和平均水平变化。人格和症状在三年内每九个月评估一次。与症状相比，人格领域和方面的三年排序稳定性更高。值得注意的例外包括较低的抑郁稳定性和积极情绪方面。方面和症状表现出相似的平均水平变化。总的来说，我们观察到症状和特征之间适度和可变的时间差异；症状表现出高等级顺序稳定性和低平均水平变化，
