The Temporal Consistency of Personality Effects: Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey

Abstract: Personality traits have been posited to function as stable influences on political attitudes and behavior. Although personality traits themselves exhibit high levels of temporal stability, it is not yet known whether the effects of these traits are marked by comparable temporal consistency. To address this question, this research note examines data from Wave 13 ( -2004( ), Wave 15 (2005( -2006 and Wave 17 (2007Wave 17 ( -2008 of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). Twenty-seven behavioral and 14 attitudi… Show more

“…Personality is measured in 2008 using the 50‐item International Personality Item Pool–Five Factor Model (Goldberg, ) in the eighth wave of the NCDS when panel members were 50 years. I do not expect this to be problematic as personality is relatively stable over time (Roberts, Walton, & Viechtbauer, ) and stably associated with political ideology over time (Bloeser, Canache, Mitchell, Mondak, & Poore, ). The items belonging to each trait are internally consistent and scored to range from 0 to 1.…”

“…The list of narrow traits is currently fluid and nondefinitive and so is not examined further given the exploratory aim of the present study. However, the strong psychometric properties of measures of broad personality traits (e.g., C. J. Soto & John, 2017) combined with the stability of broad personality traits over time (e.g., Bloeser, Canache, Mitchell, Mondak, & Poore, 2015; Willie, De Fruyt, & Feys, 2013) and across cultures (John et al, 2008) make them an attractive option to examine as predictors of social justice engagement among professional counselors. Knowledge of an individual’s personality profile could assist in the development of idiosyncratic, personalized pedagogical approaches in training and supervision that could increase a trainee’s social justice engagement by appealing to their unique personality profile.…”

“…As to longitudinal stability, Costa and McCrae (1988) and McCrae and Costa (2003) report six-year stability levels for the Big Five traits as high as 0.95, and Rantanen et al (2007) report nine-year stability levels between 0.65 and 0.97. In addition to personality itself being stable, so, too, are the effects of personality traits on political attitudes and behaviours (Bloeser et al, 2015).…”
