Person–environment transactions differentiate personality and psychopathology

Abstract: Personality and psychopathology have generally been regarded as distinct aspects of human behaviour, largely studied by researchers from different disciplines. However, an established body of research shows a common structure for personality and psychopathology phenotypes. This evidence has led to significant changes in how psychiatric problems are conceptualized and studied, as well as new questions about the differences between personality traits and mental disorders. In this Perspective, we suggest that mod… Show more

“…The strong intercorrelations may also be the result of comorbidity between the symptoms of PDs and CDs (Bachrach et al, 2012). Previous evidence supports the role of genetics and similar patterns of stability in both PDs and CDs (Coleman et al, 2020;Hopwood et al, 2020). Despite these similarities, our results showed that the covariance of symptoms is different between these disorders.…”

“…Few studies have examined the particular genetic and biological sources of personality rank-order stability (Lo et al, 2017; Penke & Jokela, 2016), and little is known about the specific environmental factors that contribute to the patterns of personality rank-order stability across the life span. Another and even less researched source of personality rank-order stability involves person–environment transactions (Fraley & Roberts, 2005, Hopwood, Wright, et al, 2022, Roberts & Nickel, 2021). Person–environment transactions can manifest in three general was.…”

“…The critical question, though, was whether, despite these various influences, we could find differences between PDs and NPDs. There is strong evidence that both types of disorders are influenced by genetic factors [ 50 , 51 ], have similar patterns of stability [ 51 ], and can be organized using hierarchical trait models [ 15 , 19 ]. This study provides evidence that, despite these similarities, differences between PDs and NPDs are evident in terms of the covariance of symptoms and associations with trait dispositions.…”
