Abstract. We conceptualize other-contingent extraversion as an individual difference in the tendency to elevate one’s state extraversion when interacting with friendly others. Using experience sampling data from 75 college students, we assessed other-contingent extraversion to predict subjective well-being, and further examined whether implicit theory of personality would moderate such a prediction. Results indicate that, despite a general positive association between others’ friendliness and one’s state extraversion, individuals differed in the degree to which they manifested state extraversion in response to others’ friendliness, allowing us to model this individual difference as other-contingent extraversion. Other-contingent extraversion interacted with implicit theory to predict college satisfaction but not life satisfaction. Specifically, other-contingent extraversion had a more positive association with college satisfaction for respondents with a stronger incremental perspective (malleable view) of personality. Our study contributes to personality research by introducing other-contingent extraversion as a unit of personality.

其他条件外向性和满足感

摘要。我们将其他条件外向性概念化为在与友好的他人互动时提升个人状态外向性倾向的个体差异。使用来自 75 名大学生的经验抽样数据，我们评估了其他条件外向性以预测主观幸福感，并进一步检验了内隐人格理论是否会缓和这种预测。结果表明，尽管他人的友善与一个人的状态外向性之间存在普遍的正相关关系，但个体在回应他人的友善时表现出状态外向性的程度不同，这使我们能够将这种个体差异建模为其他条件的外向性。其他条件外向性与内隐理论相互作用来预测大学满意度而不是生活满意度。具体来说，对于具有更强的人格增量观点（可塑性观点）的受访者来说，其他条件外向性与大学满意度有更积极的关联。我们的研究通过将其他条件外向性作为人格单元引入人格研究，为人格研究做出了贡献。
